JEWEL BOX PERFORMANCE HALL
For the Friends of Perry Mansfield, Steamboat Springs, Colorado

Student Project for Master of Architecture
 

Project Summary
This jewel box is primarily for gathering together winter treasures. It is sized to hold existing, new, and future jewels for the next 100 years.
The Jewel Box Performance Hall started from the idea of precious experiences, spaces, and buildings to be maintained and built on for the future. For example, preserving the conversation gathering area and fire pit in the historic Julie Harris Theatre.
Facilities should continue the immersion in nature on which the camp was founded 100 years ago; in deep winter using views and connection to the outdoors.
Spaces are oriented both to be viewed and for views out and through adjacent spaces to natural beauty. Rooms and spaces are precious to different users for different reasons.  Circulation areas surrounding and connecting these important activities can be precious and flexible for more than just moving from place to place.
Initial 10-year development program called for approximately 23,000 SF heated space.

Client Design Goals
Evolve the core creative practices program. Restore balance with the land on the 72 acre site. Clarify an honest vernacular for the next 100 years. Reconnect with the nearby city and the outside world.
