Children are naturally curious, seeking opportunities to playfully explore while wondering about the magical possibilities of the world around them. Wonder and the process of discovery are fundamental to the mission of a children’s museum and our design strategy. We seek to engage the human minds potential via an innovative architectural expression that activates the senses, ignites imagination, and heightens anticipation of new discoveries revealed as you move through space. One oscillates between interior and exterior mental, physical, and conceptual limits.
Widely acknowledged as the coolest building in town, THE GREEN BUILDING of Louisville, Kentucky has hosted some of nation’s most exciting and influential organizations, individuals and events since its opening in the fall of 2008. The first commercial building in Louisville to pursue an anticipated LEED Platinum certification, THE GREEN BUILDING has become the destination for cultural, political and community gatherings, breathing life back into the city¹s long distressed and forgotten East Market district, a federally classified distressed area.
The renovated 110 year old masonry structure, a former dry goods store, houses a street facing café ; The Green Building Gallery, which features the work of local artists; event spaces, and an indoor-outdoor courtyard at the rear of the building complete with a vertical garden. The second and third floors house tenant office spaces, conference room, a vegetative roof and office spaces for SonaBLAST! Records, Holland Brown Books and The Group Entertainment.
