This 6,000 square foot vacation home is located in the high desert of central Idaho. A 5-Bedroom house with a loft-like living space, it provides a sophisticated and relaxing year-round retreat for its New York City owners. Aluminum fenestration throughout the fir-sided, steel-framed and poured-in-place concrete structure carefully frames the picturesque and dramatic landscape of Sun Valley. The interior furnishings and architectural form of the structure are expressed in a unified luminous palette of materials that provide a harmonious environment for living. The man-made form maintains a strong presence in the rugged landscape, while the warmth of the interior materials link the house back to the natural environment.

house is very good
urban loft living in the woods — thank you to all you rich nyc and california m’fer’s for driving up the cost of living in all the beautiful places in the world…I dont care how “good” the house is…to me, it IS “bad.”
MA HA GUSTAO LA FACHADA… PERO NO MUCHO LAS PLANTAS.BUENA DE TODAS MANERAS.
Architecture for the money shot. The plan is incoherent. Circulation a mess. Cant even figure out a kitchen window. This is pathetic.
Agreed.
Feels well. Exterior is simple, but homogeneous. Timber facade connects well with surrounding. Interior seems to be soft, comfortable, laid back. Thats what I see when I look at this project, Lumiges.
I like the cohesive exterior and warm use of wood, but, w/o many interior photos to show otherwise, am surprised by how close-in/warren-like the floor plan seems.
