Rosebrook Lodge
Architect // Bull Stockwell Allen
Description
Bull Stockwell Allen designed the four-season on-mountain lodge for the Omni Bretton Woods ski area and Mt. Washington Resort. The 16,500 square foot lodge serves as a special event venue, awarded Hospitality Designs’ Best in Event Space 2022, and destination dining experience for the Mt. Washington Hotel guest, Bretton Woods’ guests and Presidential Range destination visitors. Located near the top of the mountain, and accessed via the resort’s gondola, the lodge includes a coffee bar and fine-dining bistro on the main floor with the top floor dedicated to hosting special events and the winter season skiers looking for on-mountain dining and aprés ski. The lodge’s materials of timber, steel, stone and glass complement the region’s rugged natural beauty. The mountain’s topography and skier traffic patterns informed the design and massing of the building into a ‘knife blade’ form that sits comfortably in the mountain.
Kancamagus 8 Enclosure
Architect // Bull Stockwell Allen
Description
Bull Stockwell Allen designed a first-of-its-kind, semi-enclosed pavilion that wraps around the Kancamagus 8 lift at Loon Mountain Resort. North America’s most technologically advanced chair lift, Kanc8 is an eight-seat, D-Line Doppelmayr chair with ergonomically shaped heated seats and tinted bubble. Opening up to an adjacent plaza, the Kanc8 pavilion creates a multi-use assembly space that stretches its value beyond the winter and ski season for year-round utilization. Kanc8 will provide skiers a covered loading experience, protecting them from the elements in the winter, and a loading base for bikers in the summer months. This custom open-air structure is notably different from its predecessor in drastic and eye-catching ways; with versatility and high-performing functionality being a critical consideration in this design, aesthetics were upheld to just as high a priority and standard, resulting in this stunning structure that nestles perfectly and unobtrusively into, rather than on, the site.
