505 Design 

Location: Fort Mill, SC

The Anne Springs Close Greenway Gateway is a 2100 acre open space with forests, fields, lakes, and natural amenities in Fort Mill, SC. The design team was challenged to design a building that had a warm hospitality but also encouraged visitors to get out and explore the landscape. The adage of the design became “Catch and Release;” where the design compels visitors to come in, but not stay indoors too long… 

Expansive views across fields and orchards inspire picnics and strolling, adjacent trails and the forest’s edge invite exploration, and natural materials recall the elemental.
