The Lark Hotel: Renovation and Addition

The Lark Hotel, located in downtown Bozeman, Montana, was designed and built in two phases. Phase One is a modern reinterpretation of an abandoned 1960’s motor lodge housing 38 guest rooms. Phase Two is a new four-story building comprised of mass and cross-laminated timber which expanded the hotel by 29 additional rooms.
