The Rebirth of Black Butte Ranch Lodge

The Black Butte Ranch Lodge was built in the early 1970s and features iconic period architecture, cherished by many, including the Hacker design team.

A comprehensive analysis of the lodge revealed significant issues, including accessibility concerns, aging mechanical systems, and an outdated layout.

The Hacker design team embarked on a year-long outreach process to understand the community's vision and priorities for the new Lodge.

The new Lodge is designed to incorporate the principles of regionalism, sustainability, and community engagement, inspired by the original ranch buildings.

The building's design language is characterized by the use of local materials and traditional craftsmanship, highlighting wood and contrasting tones of native wood species.

The interior features exposed structure and finishes, showcasing the beauty of native wood species, and the stone fireplace serves as a focal point.

The new Lodge is a 27,000-square-foot building, divided into three main sections: public spaces, private areas, and a state-of-the-art kitchen.

The building is constructed using sustainable materials and techniques, such as Shou Sugi Ban exterior wood siding and pine tree transformation.

The Hacker design team collaborated with a range of experts and partners, including contractors, landscape architects, and kitchen designers.

The new Lodge features a range of sustainable materials and brands, including Pioneer Millworks, Daikin, and Pendleton Woolen Mills.
