A 90-year-old ski destination in the Berkshires, one of the oldest in the country, just opened a contemporary base lodge that’s steeped in nostalgia. Bousquet Mountain in Pittsfield, a 200-acre ski area set in the Taconic Mountain Range, opened a new lodge Feb. 11 after 10 months of construction.

THE BERKSHIRE EAGLE – Mill Town’s dramatic overhaul of the Bousquet Ski Resort, an iconic landmark in the Berkshires, is the perfect example of how in-house, seasoned designers leverage the latest CET design technology to provide advanced interior furniture and design solutions to fit specific requirements.
When Mill Town approached BBE Office Interiors, they had specific goals for high style, sustainability and durability for the interior and exterior spaces of the newly renovated ski resort to enhance experiences for skiers and vacationers. BBE ensured that elements chosen were high-end, sustainable furniture, made to last. Materials with eco-friendly characteristics, like the natural wood furniture, helped align the indoor environment to the outdoors. To provide the durability needed to handle the wear and tear of skiers trekking through spaces with heavy gear, all furniture was specified to be commercial grade and included high-pressure laminates that can last more than 20 years.
