Lasting Joy is a farm brewery located on a 31 acre parcel of former agricultural land in the Hudson Valley. An existing barn was repurposed as the brewery portion of the program, and a new, purpose-built tasting room space was constructed. The tasting room is composed of a glulam structural frame and cross-laminated timber roof. The space is defined by its structural system, along with a fully glazed enclosure and exterior weathering-steel cladding. Though the enclosure is entirely glass, the interior has the character of a room made of wood as the trusses are very tightly spaced, and the CLT roof deck is left exposed. The inversely raised roof floods the space with natural light.
