The Barn at GlenCove
Written By: Deena Bouknight | Issue: July - 2022
The Barn at GlenCove is the centerpiece of a vibrant, multigenerational adventure-wellness community.
While a barn connotes animals and farming, GlenCove’s spin on the age-old utilitarian archi-tecture spotlights a plethora of upscale recreational activities for every age. Completed and opened in late May, The Barn at GlenCove is poised as the community’s active life hub.“The idea was to create a gathering spot that compliments the generational and the historical vibe of GlenCove,” said Jerry West, Director of Operations.“Bowling, video games, golf simulator, billiards, a swimming pool, a playground, pickleball, basketball, and bocce ball cover about as much of the entertain-ment spectrum as you can imagine.”At the May 29 open house event, West pointed out: “Our members, guests, and property owners were blown away. The Barn exceeded everyone’s expectations in every way.”The 16,500 square feet of interior space, as well as the porches and pool pavilion, were designed by architect/design team of Sam Edgens and Pete Shipps. Jeanie Macrea Claughton and Angela Williams envisioned the interior design. Bill Futral of Futral Construction was the General Contractor.Claughton described The Barn’s interior design as “transitional and heading towards modern…sophisticated modern.” She noted, “Each space has its own character due to its func-tion, for example, bowling, golf simulator, arcade, reception, pro shop, billiards, dining, but they all blend together.”The members-only Barn sports The Saddle interior bar, The Crafty Goat food truck, and a snack bar, as well as a myriad of vignettes and tucked-away niches for gathering small-to-large parties. The vast windows and expansive covered porch overlook the 12-hole, par-3 course.Added West, “GlenCove was designed, planned, and constructed with a generational, wellness, restorative, familial context, and intent. The entirety of this project is to enable families to reconnect, close their eyes, and go back in time to a simpler, more personal time in life where you connect, grow, and flourish with your family. This land was always intended to be a place of reprieve from the hectic pace of the world we live in. GlenCove is the escape from our fast-paced world.”
