佛教隐居所坐落在一片高度荒漠的山坡上，在一片崎岖的火山岩石和弯曲的杜松树中，隐居所从中显露出来，并且它面对着国会礁国家公园的壮丽景色。

它除了作为次要住所的功能之外，这个处在犹他州格罗弗的住所被设计成一个沙漠保护区中藏传佛教的实践基地。

它的目的是将这种通常为精神仪式所保留的神圣时刻和每天的日常活动联系在一起，这样可以使生活行为得到提高并令人满意。

无论是一棵古老小松树的框架细节还是延伸到扩展空间的包装全景，佛教隐居所的目的是为了创造丰富多样的生活时刻。

这个地点的顶部与地面平齐，房屋计划中的入口甲板水平进入到公园的红色岩巷道空间中，好像地形的斜坡向下进入到青翠的山谷下面一样。其结果是这里提供了一个空间，

在这个空间里，人们集体打坐，视觉的清晰和自由以及处理心理障碍这种盛大的时刻，都可以被暂时打断。

通过甲板向下，用户将沿着入口下降到一个空间中，这个空间被沙漠太阳照在上面甲板上的阴影笼罩着。这种对比的亲密时刻表达了这个地方最突出的细节：在一侧是坚固的杜松群，另一侧的暴露出来的火山岩。

进入到房屋中，主要的生活空间再次将视线从地板直接引导向天花板，从一面墙到另一面墙，

在这里，外面的郁郁葱葱的绿色山谷和红色的高地像处在框架中一般。可移动的玻璃墙消失了，这更加模糊了内部与外部，人为与自然的界限。

主人和客人的卧室再次努力地创造了一种视线被墙壁包围了的对比感，古老的小松树仅仅是在窗户和玻璃门之上。从一个充满活力的红色螺旋楼梯向上，能看到山脊线景色的楼阁空间结合了一个可以用来冥想的圣地。

支持冥想的主要外墙被覆盖在一个充满火山岩的石笼网中，这些火山岩都是在现场及附近被发现的。这些岩石不仅仅在视觉上将隐居所和这个地方联结在一起，而且它们可以通过热质量和增加了的表面积，从炎热的夏日阳光中吸收和散发热量。

由自然耐用的重蚁木制造而成的甲板能够经受严酷的沙漠条件，并且可以作为一种双重屋顶系统来减轻太阳热量的吸收。直立的缝钢管为其他坚固的材料和这个地方优美粗犷的自然感觉提供了一种灵活的对应。代替A/C可移动的天窗，整个房子的风扇放置在楼梯间的顶部，创造出了一个排放热空气的热烟囱，然而，低操作性的窗户将较冷的空气和交叉通风补给进来。光电池屋顶面板给远程住宅提供了电力，而就地的井提供了最纯净的饮用水。当进行结构分析时，它超过了最高的能源之星等级。

在内饰方面，本地采购的材料被应用于整个房屋中。博物馆的白色墙壁和深色混凝土地板作为中性的画布，在它的上面，业主可以通过他自己对家具，当地艺术品和精神用具的选择来搭配颜色。

Emanating from a high-desert hillside amidst rugged volcanic rock and twisted juniper trees the Buddhist Retreat rises up and out toward a spectacular view Capitol Reef National Park. In addition to its function as a secondary residence, this dwelling in Grover, Utah was designed to be a desert sanctuary for Tibetan Buddhist practice. Its intent is to intertwine everyday activities with singular moments that are typically reserved for spiritual rituals, thus heightening and sanctifying the act of living. Whether it be framing the detail of an ancient pinion pine or extending out into the spatial expanse of a wrapping panorama, the Buddhist Retreat’s purpose is to creating rich and diverse moments of living.

Flush with the ground at the top of the site, the entry deck of the house projects horizontally out into space toward the red rock gateway of the park as the topography slopes down toward the verdant valley below. The result is a space that suspends the user in a grand moment for group meditation, free and clear of visual and mental obstruction.

Down through the deck the user descends toward the entry into a space shaded from the desert sun by the deck above. This contrastingly intimate moment frames the most prominent details of the site: clusters of rugged junipers on one side, and exposed volcanic rocks on the other. Entering into the house, the main living space again directs the view outward through a floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall frame of the lush green valley and red plateau beyond. The operable glass wall disappears to further blur the line between interior and exterior, function and nature.

The master and guest bedrooms again endeavor to create contrast enclosing the view by walls ancient pinion pines just beyond the windows and glass doors. Ascending up a vibrant red spiral stair, a lofted space with a ridgeline-view combines the office with a shrine for meditation.

The main exterior walls supporting the meditation deck are clad in gabion cages filled with volcanic rock found at the site and the local vicinity. The rock not only ties the retreat to the site visually, but also absorbs and dissipates heat from the hot summer sun through thermal mass and increased surface area. The deck, made of naturally durable ipe wood, withstands harsh desert conditions and acts as a double roof system to mitigate solar heat gain. Standing seam steel offers a resilient counterpoint to the other rugged materials as well as the site’s beautifully rough nature. In lieu of A/C an operable skylight and whole house fan placed at the top of the stairwell create a heat chimney for exhausting hot air while low operable windows resupply with cooler air and cross ventilation. Photovoltaic roof panels supply the remote house with power while an onsite well supplies the purest of drinking water. When analyzed, the structure exceeds the highest EnergyStar rating.

On the interior, locally sourced materials are used throughout. The museum white walls and dark concrete floors act as neutral canvas onto which the owner will apply color through her own selection of furniture, local artwork, and spiritual paraphernalia.
