Phoenix Lookout is a pavilion situated within the preserved forests of a mountainous wildlife sanctuary, conceived as both a refuge and an observation point. Accessible solely by ski lifts traversing the scarred expanse of a wildfire destruction zone, the structure embodies a dialogue between humanity and the natural world. Designed to integrate seamlessly into the mountainside, it serves as a sanctuary for wildlife, offering safe, sheltered habitats while allowing for unobtrusive observation. Through its protected barriers, the pavilion invites visitors—both professionals and the public—to reflect on resilience, regeneration, and the delicate balance between preservation and human engagement within landscapes shaped by fire.
