Icicle Creek Center for the Arts offers musicians, performers and artists an opportunity to escape the hustle of urban life and become immersed in the Pacific Northwest’s natural beauty. The Center hosts residency programs, chamber music performances, festivals, symphony camps, and classes in Washington’s Cascade Mountains. Each year Icicle Creek hosts 100 performances and more than 15,000 visitors.
The mountain sanctuary in Leavenworth, Washington was originally founded in 1995 by local entrepreneur and art enthusiast, Harriet Bullitt, as part of the Sleeping Lady Resort. Bullitt wanted to create a place that celebrates the synergy between the arts and the environment.
In 2011, Bullitt received funding for a redevelopment project to broaden Icicle Creek’s range of education and performance offerings. Seattle architecture firm, Jones and Jones, who designed Sleeping Lady Mountain Retreat were awarded the design contract. Mark Johnson (now at his own firm, Signal Architecture + Research), served as the Project Architect and Project Manager.
The redevelopment plan included a series of 19 buildings, including a master recital hall, group rehearsal, group lodges, individual rehearsal studios, and administrative offices. A combination of careful site planning and strategic building orientation resulted in a collection of buildings inspired by regional rock formations and historic agrarian farmhouses. The buildings are nestled into the hillside facing the Cascades so views to the landscape connect musicians and visitors alike to the natural world.
