Timber Cove, USA
In 2017, Design Hotels launched Further, a travelling laboratory for experiential hospitality and collaborative culture, for which we invite artists, musicians and others from the creative industries to visit hotels and respond to their surroundings. When it came to Timber Cove, a former meditation lodge and 1960s-era artist colony in California’s Sonoma Coast, it felt like a homecoming for the Further event.
The property was created in the midst of the anti-war movement, spanning the civil rights, flower power and women’s liberation movements, which then culminated in the 1967 Summer of Love. Timber Cove’s unique story was truly inspiring to the musicians we invited to take part in artist residencies at the site.
