The WNC Bridge Foundation is a community centered office and event space supporting local health and wellness needs. Sited along an east-to-west axis, the main entry and double-height lobby bisect its wings creating a welcoming “living room” with a hearth and two-story fireplace. The exposed timber frame structure serves as a biophilic element adding warmth and interest throughout the building. Public space for fundraising and community events is located in the building’s west wing, while the east wing houses the foundation’s offices. The second floor features a rooftop terrace and a walkway bridge connecting the building ends.
