Montreux Meta Resort
Montreaux, Nevada -
1991
The 15 acre Montrêux Meta Resort lies in
the Sierra Nevada Foothills
on the east flank of Mount Rose. This 130,000 square
foot project is designed to provide multi-use space for the physical and psychic
regeneration of individuals and businesses.
The energy
efficient buildings integrate with the natural topography of the land. Solar
energy is used to supplement hot water supplies and heat the swimming pool. Local
ponds retain storm water runoff, eliminating erosion and supplying water storage
for irrigation. The buildings southern orientation allows for winter
heating, while special glazing and shading devices reduce solar gain during
the summer.
This wooded
resort site features organic gardens and native drought tolerant landscaping,
providing a setting and source for reflection, education, and healing.
