The town of Stowe lies in a broad, fertile valley in Vermont, surrounded by beautiful forests and mountains. Sounds like the perfect place for this small meditation pavilion – a place to sit quietly while observing nature and the surrounding landscape with a sense of stillness and transcendence.
The structure consists of a curved brick wall, a wood-framed roof and a platform suspended above the water. Inside, a Rumford fireplace marks the center of the pavilion; a bench with scattered pillows wraps the other three sides, and a Shaker table is set in the center.
The pavilion can be reached either along a woodland path or a shoreline trail. How wonderful to take the afternoon off, enjoy the fresh air, meditate in front of this breathtaking view and feel rejuvenated and calm.
