Norden California

This project sits at the base of Sugar Bowl mountain beneath the gondola. Access in the winter months is by snow cat or by skis. The gabled form is clad in alaskan yellow cedar and supported by a poured in place concrete base. Materials were chosen for their inherent resilience for the extreme climate and are unfinished. Openings on the long sides reinforce a rhythmic pattern while the gable ends accentuate specific views.
