North Bend State Park Lodge Renovations
Located in the heart of the 2,500-acre North Bend State Park, this two-story lodge opened in 1966 and features 29 guest rooms, conference rooms, a gift shop, lounge and a public restaurant. Although a very popular destination for visitors, and used by local residents for community events, the lodge had been virtually untouched, and was in need of updating both inside and out. An extensive renovation took place that transformed nearly every corner of the building. Maintaining the existing exposed structural wood timber construction and large framed glass openings was important throughout the design process, all of which were maintained and upgraded for energy efficiency. Additional windows were added in corridors where small windows were once located, to allow more natural light. The main objective was to bring the beauty of the outdoors in, which is reflected throughout the renovation.
