Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 Tree House Brewing Company (THBC) has proposed constructing a 19,950 sf new, ground-up microbrewery/microdistillery and tasting room on approximately 11 acres of undeveloped land at 3376 South Broadway in Saratoga Springs. The new facility will contain a microbrewery, microdistillery, pizza kitchen, indoor dining and retail space, off-premise distribution, and accessory storage areas. There is one accessory covered pavilion structure and one open air pergola for on-premises patrons and creating a “campus-like”, pedestrian oriented, outdoor setting. The design inspiration is drawn by the surround area as “the Gateway to the Adirondacks”. We drew reference from the deep arts scene in the community of Saratoga Springs, and our site’s close proximity to the State Parks. The porch as an architectural feature is prevalent throughout the history of Saratoga Springs, and we designed wrap around porches to greet our guests on the exterior of the building. We have created three simple forms to define the facility – with the main gabled structure inspired by the Agrarian/rural buildings so prevalent in Saratoga Springs. The exterior palette is consistent across the campus with a black metal standing seam barn-like primary gabled structure flanked by simple dark grey insulated metal panel façades clad with vertical wood-look aluminum planks on the recessed wings to the north and south facing the public way. Fully glazed curtainwall facades with aluminum wood-look clad overhangs at the front and rear of the primary gabled structure greet curbside guests at the street face and on-premise guests at the rear of the campus. The taproom contains a wraparound storefront system helping to connect the interior and exterior spaces seamlessly. The accessory pavilion and pergola structures are inspired by campground structures and the pavilions scattered throughout Saratoga Spa State Park erected with simple structural elements. Our landscape is intended to be natural and agrarian with new trees proposed to be planted across all areas of the campus.
