The architecture of the New Harvey House is a blend of manmade brutalist forms, and a natural connection to the site’s ecology. This is reflective of the philosophy of the Anthropocene.

While it may seem odd that brutalism and nature mix, it is quite the opposite. Brutalism exposes materials into their found state in nature, concrete is a raw stone, metals are left rusted and patina’d, and wood is only minimally treated. Further, the rectilinear shapes of brutalism make nice plantings for endemic foliage, that are themselves watered by deep rooflines placed to redirect rain water to the plants.

The entire layout of the New Harvey House is ordered along a linear axis. Pathing and circulation follow a direction, with architectural forms similarly oriented along the vast horizon of the nearby Shallow Sea.

Simplicity and legibility of an ordered floor plan is often a pre-requisite for brutalist design, and that is certainly the case here with the linear forms. Additionally this ordering principle, contrasts the natural landscape and frames it in a means complimentary to Anthropic concepts.

Entry at the front of the New Harvey House is oriented to take advantage of a inlet in the newly created Shallow Sea. Guests who wish to see this new natural wonder will be exposed to some of the best possible views from here.

Both fine-dining dinners and informal brunches are hosted at the Ammonite Grill. A restaurant named after the ammonite fossils found locally in the badlands, a sign that this place was once underwater beneath the Western Interior Seaway.

Guests dining here are treated to grand vistas of the new seaway, or if weather is unpleasant, indoor dining is available as well.
