CIRQUE bigsky,montana

“the wooing of the earth thus implies preserving natural environments in which to experience mysteries transcending daily life.”

Cirque is a ski lodge in Big Sky, Montana, a project completed in collaboration with GSBS commercial firm. Inspired by the surrounding mountain ranges, the interior embraces the natural colors, textures, shapes, and forms of the surrounding landscape. The interior design of cirque aims to mimic the inside of a mountain, pulling dark hues and organic textures, juxtaposing light and dark. Cirque was designed around the premise that buildings should mirror the outside environment, creating harmony between indoor and outdoor. “modern society has produced an increasingly compromised and degraded natural environment that offers far fewer opportunities to experience satisfying contact with nature as an integral part of ordinary life.” Building for life: designing and understanding the human-nature connection.

To instate human wellness, the relationship between humankind and nature should be one of respect and love rather than domination.
