Black Butte Ranch – a
resort community located near Sisters, Oregon – sits at the gateway to Oregon’s
high desert. First planned in the early 1970s, the Ranch is a vacation
destination for many, and a year-round home for some. The original architecture
is iconic “solar architecture” of its period, and the spectacular natural
setting is unrivaled.
Lakeside at Black
Butte Ranch replaced the well-worn existing pool facility and revived the
“heart of the Ranch.” The magnificent site sits between the original modernist
Ranch buildings from the early 1970s: the award winning Country House
Condominiums and the Lodge. The new design was inspired by the barn-like
simplicity of the Country House Condominiums and the abstracted landform roof
lines of the Lodge, while evolving the Ranch’s building tradition into a
progressive vision for the future and reinforcing its reputation as a venerable
Central Oregon resort.
The 2015 project was
designed by Hacker Architects of Portland, Oregon.
