Skamania Treehouses & Event Pavilion

An elevated resort experience

Located in the Columbia River Gorge between Portland, OR and the Hood River, Skamania Lodge has established itself as a premier destination for family vacations, weekend getaways, corporate conferences, and weddings. The Lodge was looking to expand their current offerings, the resort partnered with MG2 to design and develop a “treehouse-style” cabin concept and pavilion, catering to those in search of a unique escape.

The two resulting tree houses, nestled amongst a grove of Douglas firs, have each been designed with a large deck, expansive windows, an indoor/outdoor fireplace, and are easily accessed via an attached staircase. These contemporary, approachable, and luxurious tree houses offer modern luxuries not commonly associated with the traditional cabin experience but sought by guests looking to stay there. MG2 continues to work with the Lodge to bring new cabins to the resort.

Sky-high Amenities

Stanford Hotels partnered with MG2 to design a 54-story mixed-use hotel and residential tower located on a prominent corner in downtown Seattle. Surrounded by an array of building types and uses, the challenging site forced MG2 to thoroughly examine and validate design decisions from multiple perspectives. The MG2 team introduced horizontal and vertical rhythms to the facade, helping weave the luxury tower into the neighborhood’s contextual fabric.

In addition to the 257 room hotel and 233 residential units, the tower offers more than 18,000 SF of hotel amenities and restaurants, including a rooftop bar overlooking the Puget Sound. To activate the street front, the main floor features 3,000 SF of retail space anchored by a sidewalk café. Directly above, four levels of artist lofts overlook the streetscape.
