OVERALL CONCEPT
Combining inspiration from the site, local culture and history, and
dedication to be as “one” with the environment, 100 mile aims to be a
destination eatery for tourists and locals alike. Remembering that humans
live within a greater environmental context, 100 mile aims to engage every
visitor and create an establishment that co-exists within its site and history.

STRUCTURAL INSPIRATION
The building itself is based on an aboriginal story passed down through
generations telling how fire originally came to the earth. Through teamwork
and dedication, the wood-pecker was able to fly towards the sun and
retrieve the fire through an arrow. While the other animals denied the
woodpeckers strength, it was only him who was able to fly close enough to
the sun to harness it’s power. The building is based on this bird ascending
towards the sky in order to bring light to all.

SITE CONTEXT
The context of the site is as important to the design as anything else.
Situated on the top of a mountain with sweeping views of the city and
landscape below, it is important to incorporate these views and not over-
power the beautiful landscape.

SUSTAINABILITY COMPONENTS
Designing with sustainability in mind, the goal is to become one with
the site and consider sustainability on a broader scale. Promoting fresh
ingredients from within 100 miles, the menu provides nutritious and locally
sourced plates that don’t disrupt the natural landscape. Using a simple
palette of four materials also contributes to the overall sustainability.
Concrete, steel, ponderosa pine, and glass are available locally, are long
lasting- and can be recycled into the future. Living off the site is important
as well, harnessing the power of the sun with solar panels and natural
daylighting reduces the carbon footprint. Incorporating a water system that
gathers rainwaters and re-uses gray water.
