The developer of The Vista at Origin Park is partnering with an area firm to oversee the interior design of the event center under construction on the north shore of the Ohio River.
Starlight Designs LLC, a commercial interior design firm based in Floyds Knobs, aims to bring a community-inspired aesthetic to the 14,000-square-foot venue, according to a news release. The venue, intended to host weddings, corporate functions and social events, is part of the 430 acre Origin Park being developed by the River Heritage Conservancy, a Jeffersonville-based nonprofit.
“The property represents untapped potential for our area that has existed for a long time,” Starlight Designs owner Lauren Eurton said in the release. “It holds incredible promise, and I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to participate in this project. The event space and future park will be a transformative and beneficial addition to Southern Indiana and our local community.”
Eurton has 15 years of commercial design experience that spans corporate, health care, hospitality, education, and multifamily housing sectors, the news release said.
“Lauren and Starlight Designs bring not only exceptional design talent but also a deep connection to this community,” said Kirstie Adanick, director of sales and events at The Vista at Origin Park.
The venue is expected to open in May and is among a host of amenities planned for the area that once was occupied by landfills and brownfields.
The conservancy also is developing what will be known as Wildwater at Origin Park, a kayaking and whitewater rafting course, Inside INdiana Business reported earlier this year. Construction is expected to begin next year and be complete as early as 2029.
The conservancy aims to raise about $150 million for various park improvements, including the Buttonbush Woods natural area.
The buildout of the park is expected to take 10 to 15 years.
