Whether Rustic or Refined, a Remote Retreat is Your Personal Palace of Rest and Relaxation
Retreats are a fun way to showcase your individuality, a means of embracing the most elemental part of your nature.
We love the cozy comfort of hiking huts in the Alps, especially the smaller Alm Huttes! If you’ve never been, imagine old, weathered siding, a gnarled branch over a doorway, and a crackling fire in a wood stove! You can feel the warm embrace as soon as you enter the door. Or maybe you’re drawn to the soothing serenity of a cabin by the water. Or the simple pleasures of a fishing retreat with a familiar, homey cabin to return to after a long day on the lake. Can you picture yourself peering out of a floor-to-ceiling window, sipping hot chocolate, as you listen to the distant call of a passing loon or flock of geese?
In the same way that we enjoy a design challenge, we embrace the logistical challenges involved in building on remote sites. The site location often plays a huge part in the design of the retreat, and how it will be used.
Timber frame construction often involves a great deal of off-site fabrication, and so we can use that same approach to bring your remote retreat to life, even in those hard to reach places.
You also don’t have to travel to attain that inner peace and balance with nature.
What about a meditation retreat in your own backyard? It doesn’t have to be far away to bring that feeling of Zen to your busy, modern life.
How Retreats Differ from Everyday Houses
Site topography will often influence design. We might find the perfect log, rock, or timber that seeks expression, and during construction, a story might evolve that finds its way into the building.
That’s why we believe that each place has a soul, and it evolves from your imagination and the design that you choose.
Is a remote retreat your idea of bliss? The perfect getaway, whether near or far, is just a few clicks away! For more information on building your own slice of heaven, please contact us here.
