The Sportsmen’s Lodge sits at a crossroads, a meeting place of the Los Angeles River and Coldwater Canyon, that has been a center of social activity and an icon of Ventura Boulevard throughout the history of the San Fernando Valley. Historically, through several eras of significance, its natural springs have drawn people to this place, and its 21st-century reimagination builds on this tradition.
The main social space is the Canyon Pass through the new retail development, which celebrates the charismatic geography of the valley, river, and mountain landscapes. The design creates a landscape that magnifies the most historic qualities of the Sportsmen’s Lodge, an inviting, visually rich, and tactile open space through the creative use of water and lush plantings.
