A stone building sunk into the earth, capped with a living roof. Inside the circular structure, undulating wooden benches, wood floor, staircase and tea station built from reclaimed lumber. Fused-glass windows admit colored light through fanciful shapes. A quadraphonic sound system imbues the space with shifting tones and soft textures.

Two decades in the making, this structure sits in the gardens of Wildskil Studios in Washington’s Columbia River Gorge. A merging of improvisational building with site-specific, long form composition and deep listening. In collaboration with Sara Tink Mapelli and Theodore Holdt (and contributions from many others).
