The Portico Group

Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center

National Park Service
Seward, Alaska

Aptly named Hurricane Ridge, this jewel in the Olympic National Park is bedeviled by weather, and was handicapped by previous remodels. The rain and snow – which often appear to fall upwards
– thrill the visitors but create major weather-proofing problems. As part of a larger contract with the National Park Service, Portico increased the building’s utility, changed its roofline and weatherproofing, and gave it the generous and welcoming presence of a Northwest mountain lodge.
