Project Type: Addition

Nestled at the base of The Summit - a Snoqualmie Pass Ski Resort, this addition gives the perfect cozy atmosphere after a long hike or a cold day of skiing. The property is located in an area with massive amount of snow load each year.

Major driver for the project was to preserve existing mountain views from the existing homes living room. This allowed for opportunity to create a roof deck over the garage. The roof deck has a heated pedestal set paver system that melts the snow.

The design is characterized by clean, angular lines and a combination of contemporary wood materials, creating a harmonious relationship with the natural surroundings.
