Throwback to one our most creative events: Olson Kundig’s springtime “Surreal Soiree” employee event, which featured oversized, playful motifs inspired by Surrealist art. 👀🎨

Colorful signage greeted guests in the lobby while vibrant and artfully displayed appetizers, food, and drinks awaited on the 2nd and 3rd floor. ⁠
⁠
Large foam sculptures created a life-size diorama in the Sanctuary on the 2nd floor, similar to Salvador Dali’s “The Little Theatre.” ⁠
⁠
Additional photo ops, plus musical and meditation moments allowed for interactive guest experiences, along with ample room for mingling. ⁠
⁠
We loved hosting the team, not just because they are world-renowned architects, but because they were OUR architects for our building’s recent remodel!⁠

Parkview Event Space was honored with a 2025 American Architecture Award, recognizing the intentional design work of renowned architects .

Olson Kundig’s design philosophy centers on connecting people to place through natural materials, abundant light, and spatial flexibility. At Parkview, that translates to floor-to-ceiling windows framing tree-top views of Denny Park, warm wood and concrete finishes that photograph beautifully without feeling cold, and adaptable spaces that flow seamlessly from cocktail hour to seated dinner to dancing.

What this means for your event: Every design choice was made with function in mind. The window placement maximizes natural light while minimizing glare on screens during presentations. The material palette creates warmth without competing with your décor choices. The spatial layout adapts to 60-200 guests across multiple configurations without feeling empty or cramped.

BONUS: Award-winning design doesn’t mean complicated logistics. We still have the practical features planners need—40 dedicated parking spaces, elevator access throughout, professional A/V systems, and a full catering kitchen.

Whether you’re planning a corporate gathering, nonprofit gala, or milestone celebration, you’re working with a venue where form and function were designed together from the ground up.

Schedule a tour through our website to experience the award-winning architecture in person.
