Hospitality Manager

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. Here are some of the ways we support the rewarding experience of working together:

- Health and Dental Benefits
- Employee Assistance Program
- Employee discount on Avenue Road products
