Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] Tofino Beach Lodge is located on the rugged West Coast of Vancouver Island within the UNESCO Clayoquot Sound Biosphere Reserve and on the traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation.
Here, guests are immersed in stunning natural diversity where they can enjoy the curiosities within shoreline tide pools or marvel at the commerce of squirrels and songbirds in the busy rainforest canopy.
The Lodge and Hotel structures rest on elevated concrete piers with views through the veil of Spruce, Cedars, and Firs. A tapestry of native plants flows under the buildings encouraging surface water patterns to nourish shoreline wetlands.
Hidden within the rainforest, the secret garden of the wellness retreat waits. Inside its enigmatic walls, guests are rewarded with a rejuvenating sauna and hot pool set in secluded serenity.
