Pine Flat Lodge is a dream project for an architect, featuring a client that has spent a lifetime on the land with an open heart and mind. The Lodge is an exercise in graciously inhabiting place, rather than consuming the extraordinary prospect that the landscape offers.
The Lodge furnishes the landscape with a minimum of material and provides only the bare necessities for shelter after a day in the blazing East Coast sun. Sleeping spaces are warm and dark and entirely focused on rest and recovery from a physical day.
Communal spaces are equally simple, a kitchen and dining space, a lounge for conversation and reading.
Sustainability and efficient, responsible use of materials are core principles that the Lodge is based on. Exposed elements will age gracefully and can be maintained easily, as all services are autonomous. The project is a landmark of sustainable construction.
