Hogadon Basin Lodge
An alpine ski lodge precedent showcasing a robust hybrid of exposed glulam timber structure, dark corrugated metal, and a concrete base designed to anchor into a winter landscape.
- What we like about this project
- The left wing features a dramatic open-air elevated terrace roofed by exposed timber rafters directly exposed to the ski slope environment.

- Geometry
- Asymmetrical two-story volume set into a snow-covered slope, featuring an exposed glulam beam roof canopy over a partially covered outdoor terrace on the left and a continuous glazed hall on the right.
- Facade system
- Curtain wall glazing paired with corrugated metal panels, vertical wood siding, and cast concrete ground level.
- Structural guess
- Steel post-and-beam system supporting exposed glulam roof rafters over a reinforced concrete foundation and lower level.
- Spatial scale
- Large public lodge scale, roughly two to three stories in overall height relative to the terrain.
- Lighting
- Cool ambient twilight sky with warm interior illumination glowing through expansive glazing and exterior downlights.
- Atmosphere
- Inviting, warm shelter standing resilient against a cold, vast winter landscape.
- Environmental context
- Open, snow-covered mountainous or ski resort landscape at dusk.
- Spatial experience
- The building sits prominently atop a snowy field, acting as a beacon with glowing interior lights contrasting against the cold twilight sky and snowscape.
- Composition rhythm
- Regular vertical structural bays punctuate the glazed upper pavilion, balanced by the asymmetrical solid massing of the dark metal and wood-clad tower elements.
