As a child I spent many months in the Pyrenees, a beautiful mountain range between France and Spain.
Upon my Doctor's order, the treatment for my anemic state was to live at altitude. As a result, I developed a deep love for mountains, snow, brisk cold weather and most of all skiing.
I was commissioned by a client to design her ski house out west. I was thrilled at the prospect of working in my favorite environment. We started the project in September and our installation took place during a massive snow storm just before Christmas of the following year.
Here are some images that reflect my thoughts and vision for the ultimate ski house and mountain retreat.
