Ridge House, boutique hotelier

Pocono Mountains, PA

2017-2020

Ridge House is a small scale hotelier in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. The series of micro-dwelling vacation rentals spreads across multiple sites, totalling 14 acres of land near the Appalachian Trail.

Each unit is designed with rustic charm, timeless character, warm interiors, and a local vernacular. Since construction and demolition accounts for nearly one-third of global waste, these boutique rentals are conceived as a measured response to the excesses of the built environment. Each element—furniture, fixtures, and finishes alike—is thoughtfully sourced, privileging recycled, reused, and repurposed materials in an effort to reduce embodied carbon and curtail material waste.
