01 / The project
A hot springs retreat in Colorado’s high desert.
In Florence, Colorado, Desert Reef is an adults-only hot springs retreat at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Mineral-water pools, open skies, and site-specific art shape a place to slow down. With tiny homes and renovated Airstreams on the property, guests can turn an afternoon of soaking into an overnight escape.
02 / The architecture
From the client’s concept to custom cabins.
The client brought SandBox a concept developed by renowned architect Ronald Rael. We worked through how to manufacture its curved form and distinctive scale cladding, carrying that design into production. Arched smart tint glass, white oak cabinetry, and indirect lighting define the interiors. A micro cement finish adds texture and character to the walls, creating a refined, premium feel throughout. The design is exclusive to Desert Reef.
03 / A closer look
A stay centered on the springs.
Mineral water, open sky
The resort’s pools are fed by an artesian well more than 1,000 feet below the surface, with water temperatures adjusted seasonally. Overnight stays include access to the main pools during open hours.
Your own place to soak
Desert Reef pairs each tiny home with a private hot spring pool for two. Kitchenettes, heating, and air conditioning make the stay comfortable between soaks.
A quieter kind of arrival
Guests reach the resort’s accommodations on foot. Keeping vehicles away from the stays reduces noise and protects the desert habitat, with staff available to help bring in luggage.
