Architecture

Hospitality, to us, is the frame through which guests meet a beautiful, unexpected world.

Architecture is integrated with landscape on the steep valley site.
The open air rotunda features pink-tinted concrete columns, walls, and floors and a circular garden in the center.
The spa draws from traditional practices to form a modern wellness experience.
