Hailey Pavilion

Hailey, Idaho

Lake/Flato Architects situated Hailey Pavilion in the perfect site, then adapted it to a new one

You’d think that a firm like San Antonio–based Lake/Flato Architects, winners of the AIA’s Firm of the Year Award in 2004, might not be interested in designing a pool house with a mere 646 square feet of air-conditioned space (1,780 including decks) on a 120-acre ranch, especially as far away from the firm’s Texas base as Hailey, Idaho. Not so. “We’re interested in projects at all different scales,” says Lake/Flato associate partner Brian Korte, AIA. “Sometimes the quick turnaround and the need for efficiency of space in a small project make it the most challenging and interesting.”

For Korte, who served as project architect on the tiny pavilion, the key challenges were making the most out of materials and a difficult site. Fortunately, Lake/Flato has made its name designing healthy, sustainable buildings that respond to their place. The architects carefully set the structure and 20-meter lap pool on a flood plain nestled among woods and near the ranch’s main house and horse pasture. But then they were thrown for a loop. The East Coast–based clients, who spend several months a year enjoying the Idaho lifestyle, decided to move—literally—to greener pastures 13 miles away and wanted to take their pavilion with them. “It wasn’t meant to be moved,” says Korte. “But we worked with our engineer to come up with a solution to lift the pavilion structure off the existing foundation.”

The original pavilion contained living, sleeping, and bathing areas, as well as a kitchen/bar, storage, and pool mechanicals. The entire building with its surrounding decks moved to the new site, while the pool, its mechanicals, and its adjoining deck stayed. Winter-tight and able to withstand the 125-pound snow loads that are common in Hailey for up to six months of the year, the pavilion has an insulated, cantilevered shed roof, covered with a layer of corrugated aluminum. Inside, cedar planks clad the plywood ceiling. While not anticipating that the structure would be moved, Korte nevertheless designed the building to sit lightly on the land, floating on a rigid steel frame system composed of oiled-steel pipe columns, alternating from 6 to 12 feet apart, and composite rafter flitches clad in reclaimed Douglas fir. Organized like a modern pole barn, the pavilion has Ipe-wood-clad volumes for the bathroom, steam-shower area, and storage set between structural bays. The multifunctional living area opens to the landscape, as floor-to-ceiling glass doors edged in vertical-grain Douglas fir slide open, making the covered Ipe deck part of the communal space.
