[conceptual]

Geneva Community Center is a conceptual design developed for Poggemeyer Design Group as part of that firm’s urban planning process for the town of Geneva, OH. The program is comprised of classrooms, a banquet hall, a winery incubator, and retail space.

Each of the four primary program elements are broken out into a separate massing joined together by a wide indoor avenue which serves as both a circulation element and as a gallery space. Inspired by the disparate program elements and by the site geometry each massing is viewed as an individual building element, with all four being slowly forced together in an almost tectonic fashion and each being driven slowly upwards out of the ground as they converge.
