Wings of Hope Equitherapy is a non-profit organization which partners horses with children and adults who have disabilities and challenges. Their mission is to provide hope, healing and discovery to their clients.

The architect, Lyn Flynn, AIA was asked to design a Discovery Studio on the Wings of Hope campus to serve as an inclusive classroom, art studio, and gathering space. The spirit of the Studio is to promote wellness through learning, creating and interacting with nature and horses. While the large windows bring in natural light and views to the surrounding heavily-treed property, the overhead door opens to allow small ponies into the studio, which supports the mission of discovery and healing.

The site for the studio was chosen based on proximity to an existing septic system and natural drainage patterns on the property. In addition, the location of the studio near the existing arena and chapel creates a shared courtyard space for clients to enjoy. The triangular shaped site is located at a fork in the road near the entrance to the Wings of Hope property. This helped inform the building shape and created an opportunity for the Discovery Studio to be the first building guests see as they enter the campus. The studio's "front porch" was designed to be dynamic and welcoming to clients and guests.

The building's exterior and interior materials are low maintenance and were selected to relate to other structures on the campus. The corrugated metal siding and exposed roof structure relate to the arena and horse stables. In contrast, the smooth painted siding is a nod to the adjacent chapel building. The bold colors used on the entry doors and interior spaces complement the dynamic nature of the structure.
