Reinterpeting the log cabin and set carefully into the sloping ski hill topography, the house is syncronized to the site with sod roofs while utility space is buried below grade and living space is exposed to the natural views. Custom cedar siding, with concealed fasteners, rises above the utilitarian board formed concrete base to create a natural yet maintenance friendly palette. Triple glazed windows, super insulation, and double weatherstripping create a tight building envelope. While radiant floors and a state of the art HVAC system provide energy efficient comfort and healthy interiors.
Ward + Blake Architects is a boutique architectural firm specializing in high end custom residential projects, multi-family residential, hospitality, resort, small commercial and educational facilities. Our process embraces the broader spectrum – we look beyond the immediate programmatic goals and site constraints toward greater overall goals and long-term solutions. Through strategies that respect both the built and bio-climatic environments, we connect people to a cohesive building project that enriches the existing conditions of the site and connects respectfully to nature.
