About Yellow Wood

For lovers of design, Yellow Wood is a unique cultural project that brings together design, art, nature, and people in ways that spark creative inspiration. Our mission is to create a place where members of the design community can experience creative collaboration, inspiration, and rejuvenation, and where they can connect with the larger community in a spirit of reciprocal discovery.

We will tread lightly on the land – respectfully, and with a commitment to preservation and regeneration. We will find modern ways to integrate art into the natural surroundings. We will fashion an environment where each of these – design, art, nature, community – can nurture and elevate one another, through storytelling and experiences.

The private residence of Weishaupt Design Group founder, Stephan Weishaupt, Yellow Wood is part of a larger network rooted in the world of design. The success of our mission is thanks to the remarkable efforts of every single member of our team.
