Mountain Residence
Project Description
Located at the base of Kicking Horse ski resort, adjacent to a ski trail and surrounded by a forest of aspen and spruce, the house is arranged as two volumes: one containing the sleeping and bath spaces, and the other living and dining areas oriented toward views of the peaks. Despite a modest .36 acre lot, the building footprint was configured to protect a grove of evergreen trees at the south edge of the site and to allow natural drainage patterns to continue through the property. The careful arrangement of program maintains privacy from nearby residences through the thoughtful composition of windows, while enabling a sense of transparency to the views and direct access to ski and bike trails.
