As site work continues to progress at Ambiente: A Landscape Hotel, an exciting and technically difficult phase of landscape architecture is now underway as the team begins to reactivate the land’s ancient waterway system to bring permanent flowing water to the prime three-acre property in Sedona.
As North America’s first “landscape hotel”, the primary focus of the building process is to preserve the existing, heavily vegetated forest with minimal impact to the land and a deep respect for the environment. Snaking through the red, iron-oxide rich soil and rugged topography of the site are a series of natural, dry washes that only seasonally flow after sufficient rainfall runoff. Two Sister Bosses, the owner and developer of Ambiente, saw an opportunity to reengage these channels to create a natural eco-system with continuously flowing water to complement the authentic look of the terrain.
