Eerkes Architects has unveiled a new, eco-conscious hotel project dubbed Tofino Beach Lodge, which is set to be built on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The area is renowned for its dramatic coastlines, ancient rainforests, and abundant wildlife. With respect for this wild Pacific landscape, the architects have planned the new hospitality destination to be constructed with minimal environmental impact.
The lodge will be situated on the rugged west coast of the island, within the UNESCO Clayoquot Sound Biosphere Reserve. This pristine area is home to the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation, and the architects have emphasized respecting the land and its heritage. The lodge itself will be built on elevated concrete piers, minimizing its footprint on the forest floor. This design also allows for postcard views of the surrounding landscape, with glimpses of the Pacific Ocean filtering through a canopy of spruce, cedar, and fir trees.

The Tofino Beach Lodge is planned by the team at Eerkes Architects to introduce an ‘unparalleled guest experience’ while prioritizing environmental responsibility. Native plants will be woven beneath the lodge structures, mimicking the natural flow of the land and ensuring the health of the shoreline wetlands. A wellness retreat hidden within the rainforest will offer guests a secluded retreat for relaxation — here, guests will have access to a sauna and hot pool within the trees. This eco-conscious approach to luxury hospitality reflects a growing trend in travel, where visitors seek experiences that are at once luxurious and sustainable.
