THE LODGE

The proposed lodge sits on the other side of the road from where the previous lodge once stood. The open field allows the cabins to be comfortably spaced to both create privacy while also reducing the risk of damage during a fire. The rooms are connected by a central path accented by wildflowers.

This layout not only provides opportunities to appreciate the surrounding nature but also makes the design more fire resilient. None of the buildings have plants touching them and the planters are spaced more than 18’ apart in order to both create fuel breaks and also reduce the risk of a forest fires rapidly spreading.

Also, due to the simple design and layout of the cabins, if a building needed to be replaced or if further additions needed to be made, they can be easily replicated.
