A Thoughtfully Designed Arena Near the Cascade Mountains

 A beautiful covered arena and round pen.

McClellan Architects - Carnation Arena tour

This picturesque horse property is located near the Carnation, Washington area, an agricultural region east of Seattle, located along the Snoqualmie River near the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Here, the covered arena and round pen steal the show. It took 18 months from the start of design to the completion of construction.

Architect: McClellan | Tellone
Builder and Round Pen Design By: TriPower Construction
Equestrian Footings: White Construction Equestrian Services

 

Pastures around the arena

The 20 acre estate includes a riding arena with a viewing deck, a barn with a recent addition, a single family home, a round covered pen, and four separate pastures.

Path to Carnation Arena

The arena is comprised of heavy timber wood columns, custom steel trusses, standing seam metal roofing, stained cedar siding, and a large central corrugated fiberglass panel skylight to maximize natural lighting throughout.

Perfect Carnation Arena tour on Stable Style

Properly planning the storm drainage design was one of the most challenging aspects of this project. Storm drainage is coming under more and more regulation and if not properly addressed can limit the opportunities to build large arena structures. Due to the large footprint of the roof, extra steps were taken, working alongside a civil engineer, in order to properly manage the stormwater diverted from the arena on site.
