Arranged to mirror the region’s agricultural fields, Artist Retreat offers a perfect blend of private creative spaces and communal gathering areas. Its eight single room structures are divided by function—live, sleep, create. Living, dining and bedrooms comprise the main cluster, centered around a shared outdoor space, while a detached pair of cubes house the photography studio and darkroom. Each of the individual bedrooms contains a private bathroom, a window opened to a specific view, and intimate space to think, write, contemplate, offering each guest their own world.

There is a porosity to the interior world of this retreat. Glass hallways link the boxes and transform into open air bridges that surround the central deck. The result is privacy between the different programmatic elements in each cube, with a visual layering of space as the land is slowly revealed.
