SERENE ISOLATION BARRE,
VERMONT

Advertisement
ARRE, VERMONT HAS a rich history of producing high quality granite used in monuments around the world. Tucked into the mountains, the town is remote and industrious. Serene Isolation provides a contemplative space to reconnect with the natural world. The project consists of ten guest suites, a fitness facility with a pool, a cafe, and a gallery space and exhibition hall.
With the exception of a small lobby, the entire project is sunken ten feet underground, exposing the area’s famous granite stone and creating a deep connection between visitors and the earth. An expansive central courtyard brings light into public spaces and serves as a social gathering space. Skylights bring additional light into public spaces and guest suites. The result is a retreat center that allows visitors to leave their busy lives behind and feel a sense of calm.
