Corporate Retreat

Design With Nature

By 'nesting' the Corporate Retreat into the hillside and incorporating an extensive green roof, the structure remains unobtrusive, allowing nature to be the focal point. The building reveals itself slowly to visitors, offering a series of spatial experiences leading to dramatic views of a hidden pond and a communal dining space. Its interior, flooded with natural light, offers warm and inviting living spaces that connect seamlessly to the outdoors. The design's marriage of architecture and nature creates a space that is both functional and emotionally resonant, embodying the essence of tranquility and connection.

Multigenerational Design

Serving as an ideal venue for multigenerational family gatherings and corporate events, the Corporate Retreat offers flexible interior spaces, including a spacious communal dining area, adaptable to a variety of group activities and sizes. The design facilitates both intimate family moments and larger business events, making it a versatile setting for events ranging from quiet retreats to lively reunions.

Sustainable Integration 

The green roof—a defining feature of the project—not only camouflaged the building within the landscape, but it also lessens the impact. This living roof contributes to biodiversity, acts as an insulator, and decreases rainwater runoff, embodying an eco-friendly ethos. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the green roof is a functional marvel, bolstering the building's energy efficiency and reducing its carbon footprint. This thoughtful integration with nature ensures the Corporate Retreat is not just physically present in its environment but actively contributes to the ecological well-being of its surroundings.

Rooms with a view

The Corporate Retreat's design makes the most of its natural setting offering panoramic views that change with the seasons. Expansive windows and skylights bathe the interior in natural light during the day and create a cozy, illuminated retreat at night. Locally made brick and other building materials appropriate to the area were chosen to create a sense of place and connection to the natural amenities.
