No longer content to be crammed into the garage or thrown into a closet, skis are demanding a room of their own. Many of the new homes we’ve seen include thoughtfully designed ski rooms complete with comfortable benches, boot warmers and locker space.

We continue to receive a number of home submissions from Martis Camp in Lake Tahoe and Montana’s Yellowstone Club—these developments continue to produce beautiful cutting-edge architecture and design.

HEWN in Oregon is producing manufactured wood products that appear to be reclaimed lumber. Some claim that these products, produced with their finishes, burned or chemical stains, are less expensive and result in less waste than reclaimed boards.
