Schweitzer Mountain Overlook

High above Schwietzer Mountain ski resort and Lake Pend Orielle in Northern Idaho, this compact retreat maximizes views from multiple levels culminating in a rooftop garden with a greenhouse.  The top loft level will be dominated by a spectacular kitchen space designed for gracious but casual entertaining.

  • Finished Interior Areas: 2441 SF
  • Deck/Roof Garden Areas: 997 SF
  • Garage Areas: 642 SF

The exceptionally heavy snow environment influences our thinking about a variety of architectural design considerations and construction details.  The home will be designed and built to the rigorous German passivhaus standard for optimal comfort, health, and operational economy.
