Sun Valley Ski House

Scroll to view

Set into a hillside overlooking the slopes of Sun Valley, this ski house unfolds across the site to capture expansive mountain views from nearly every room. Composed of stone, timber, plaster, and bronze, the home is organized along a linear spine that connects a series of distinct living spaces. At its center, the main gathering areas anchor the plan, while the primary suite is tucked into its own private wing, offering a quiet retreat from the home’s shared spaces.
