The new Eagles Landing building offers 6,500 square feet of venue space for corporate and private events. It features a catering kitchen, bar area, private dining area, dressing rooms and restrooms. Other amenities include a fireplace, projector and screen, Bluetooth speakers and LED lighting.

The design team’s target aesthetics comprised timeless architecture and experiences connected to the water. The finished building showcases custom-built pieces emulating the native prairie and the lake, as well as black metal details that pay homage to prairie fires. A backdrop of creamy walls flank its massive windows, while wood beams draw the eye up to the white plank ceilings. A furnished wood deck also invites visitors outside.

“It’s a modern structure on the prairie that was intended to be native and durable,” Brian says. “Inside, you feel like you’re over the lake, with three transparent sides [created with windows]. It’s a simple building form with a gable roof and stone base.”

“There was a commonality in the use of materials for everything on the site, including timber and limestone,” Hank adds. “It was important for us that this common theme carried all the way through and uniquely identified the City of Olathe, from signage to building materials.”
