Case study 01 / AZ A-frame

Ponderosa Pines Resort

A familiar silhouette. A setting of its own.

01 / The project

Ponderosa Pines Resort

Ponderosa Pines brings the A-frame into a wooded setting. A steep roofline, dark exterior, and glazed front give the dwelling a clear identity among the trees.

02 / The architecture

The A-frame, in context.

The triangular front elevation gives the architecture its character. Dark cladding carries across the roof and sides, while warmer tones around the glazing add depth to the entrance facade. Inside, timber-lined walls and ceilings connect the sleeping area, kitchenette, and bathroom in a compact plan. Skylights and generous glazing bring light into the interior.

03 / A closer look

The details define the project.
