Miraval Berkshires Resort & Spa
Lenox, MA
Overview
Miraval Berkshires is a resort & spa originally constructed in 1896. Miraval initially retained EDM as a local code review architect and construction control representative to support their project team’s undertaking of this vast property renovation with a shared goal: preserve the history and integrity of the property while aligning with Miraval’s values of wellness, sustainability and guest-focused design.
EDM provided expanded services as the project developed, to include construction administration services, then interior design support and engineering services, and eventually assisting Miraval with requested modifications to design documents for new construction prepared by the original design architect. Ultimately, EDM became the lead Design professional on numerous renovations of existing buildings on campus. EDM advised on code and accessibility, aided in efforts of cost control and schedule that fit within the fabric of New England. EDM collaborated with a large group of consultants to help facilitate continuity in the project, including interior design, structural, AV, and pool consultants.
EDM provided design and construction documents on numerous existing building renovations and the new Links building, which connects 11 buildings on campus.
EDM provided engineering design services and construction administration for architecture and engineering on new construction projects from documents prepared by the original design architect, including the Mindfulness & Wellbeing Center, Body Mindfulness Center, Great Hall and the new Spa. EDM also provided design services for a new horse barn and ropes course.
EDM provided design, construction documents, and construction administration services for the Culinary Education Center, which features classroom space, a demo kitchen, commercial kitchen, employee and private dining rooms. EDM also provided design and construction documents for two on-site restaurants.
EDM provided construction documents and construction administration services for the renovation of the Mansion and Olmstead Manor, including other campus meeting and administrative spaces, maintenance buildings, golf cart storage building, driving range, greenhouses, and reception areas.
