Behind the Design

Set high on the rugged slopes of Revelstoke, this commanding alpine residence was designed as the ultimate heli-ski basecamp, complete with a private helipad for direct access to the slopes. The steep grade of the site posed a significant design challenge, met with a series of meticulously engineered terraces and stone retaining walls that not only stabilize the hillside but also create a dramatic, multi-tiered platform for the home. From its mountain-facing façade, soaring gabled rooflines, exposed timber trusses, and black standing-seam metal roofs evoke the strength of a traditional lodge while introducing a distinctly contemporary edge. The architecture steps gracefully down the terrain, with three levels of living space oriented to capture unobstructed views of the Columbia Mountains. Expansive walls of glass dissolve the boundary between inside and out, framing dramatic vistas and flooding the interiors with daylight. Stone, timber, and steel form a tactile, enduring palette, grounding the home in its alpine context, with multiple outdoor living areas that offer year-round connection to the landscape. Architected for life at the edge of wilderness, this is a home that pairs the thrill of the high alpine lifestyle with the refinement of world-class design.
