“At first glance, the building resembles a stone on the pond; initially solid, but slowly revealing its volumetric form on the approach.”

The interiors are designed in response to the surrounding landscape. The palette draws from Upstate’s shifting scenery: autumn browns, muted moss greens, and deep fir tones.
The tactile material palette includes wraparound curtains, the modular Vipp Loft sofa in textured fabric, and a custom earth-toned travertine table surrounded by Vipp Swivel chairs. Together, they bring balance to the fluid floor plan.
Large floor-to-ceiling framed glass doors blur the line between interior and landscape, opening to views of the pond and meadow beyond.
“The ellipse has multiple centers; as fragments of ellipses, the rooms in the pavilion borrow views from nature to complete their form and unite each space to specific features of the site.”

The entryway, window frames, and round-edged millwork are crafted from sapele wood, a type of mahogany that adds warmth and connects the interior to the surrounding forest.
The bathroom walls are finished in earth-toned stucco that echoes the mahogany millwork throughout the house. Positioned beneath a skylight, the space features a pair of Vipp wall spots, a bath module, and a mirror.

A part of the experience of our destinations is to engage with the interior of our rooms. Every room is equipped with a kitchen just waiting to be used, so when you have done your grocery shopping, start cooking and enjoy.
Should you have questions or need assistance, a member of the Vipp team will be standby during your stay to assist you.
