Near the town of Sisters in the US state of Oregon is the Black Butte Ranch, an iconic resort community that has been transformed by the addition of the Lakeside building by Hacker Architects, for the area where the worn-out main pool was located.
The new facility aims to revive the heart of the Ranch by intensifying the connection to the landscape and enhancing the user experience.

Lakeside at Black Butte Ranch by Hacker Architects hosts an extensive program. The outdoor space is made up of green areas, rest areas, a jetty, a swimming pool, and a jacuzzi. The interior, on the other hand, is made up of changing rooms, fitness rooms, an activity and games center for children and teenagers...
About the materials used, the project combines the use of wood and glass in many of its common areas. In this way, sunlight penetrates throughout the space, the views of the surroundings are taken advantage of and the project blends in with the existing landscape.

Description of project by Hacker Architects
Black Butte Ranch – an iconic resort community located near Sisters, Oregon – sits at the gateway to Oregon’s high desert. First planned in the early 1970s, the Ranch is a vacation destination for many, and a year-round home for some. The new 15,000-square-foot “Lakeside” replaces the well-worn main pool facility and revives the “heart” of the Ranch. The two buildings house a Bistro with indoor and outdoor seating, an outdoor pool and hot tub, locker rooms, a fitness room, an activity center for kids and teenagers, and an outdoor play area for kids. The design set out to do three things: evolve the legacy of Pacific Northwest regional modernism at the Ranch, intensify the connection to the landscape, and enhance the user experience.
The magnificent site sits between the original modernist Ranch buildings from the early 1970s: the award-winning Country House Condominiums and the Lodge. Inspired by the barn-like simplicity of the Country House Condominiums and the abstracted landform roof lines of the Lodge, the design evolves the building tradition to become more profoundly connected to the surrounding landscape
The site design continues the classic Black Butte Ranch arrival sequence: sweeping movement traveling through the site with unfolding views of the Cascade Mountains. The new buildings are arranged along an arcing pathway with each new building having its entry on this path. Openings, breezeways, and overhangs become apertures for distilling the volcanic landscape into distinct moments, unfolding to weave the horizon of the Three Sisters and Mt. Washington into the spaces.
By creating a variety of spaces at the boundary between inside and outside, the design offers varied levels of connection to the landscape as well as opportunities for both solitude and community. The Bistro has indoor and outdoor dining and fireplaces located for cozy winter mornings as well as summer evenings. Deep overhangs provide shade in summer and warming in winter, while reducing glare to the interior from the intense high desert sun. The activity center gives kids (and parents) a place to be kids with an unfinished interior that can take the wear and tear of messy art projects and even water balloon fights.

Hacker Architects is an architecture & planning firm founded by Thom Hacker in 1983. The studio provides architectural and design services. They believe that architecture is best when it’s an honest expression of the people and institutions it serves, when it interacts dynamically with its surroundings, makes humble use of the earth’s resources, and has an understated dignity based on carefully crafted construction and the natural beauty of materials.
More than a craft or practice, Hacker sees architecture as a calling to create beauty and serve humanity, requiring deepest listening, questioning, curiosity and engagement.
