Una tranquila casa de vacaciones familiar, aislada en las áridas tierras altas de Sun Valley, Idaho, está situada justo fuera de los límites de un corredor designado para avalanchas. La forma del tejado comulga con los ángulos de las montañas adyacentes, mientras que cada habitación de la casa ofrece una vista única de las pistas de esquí cercanas y de otros picos suaves.
Las dos alas, cada una con techos de vigas vistas y suelos de madera maciza, separan las zonas privadas de las zonas de ocio y sociales, con un ala de invitados debajo. La totalidad del nivel inferior, y las masas del vestíbulo del nivel superior, son de pequeños escombros locales con mortero enrasado, y el resto de los muros y cubiertas del nivel superior son de entramado ligero revestido de acero. Con sus texturas ligeramente diferentes, estos materiales de piedra y metal se funden suavemente con los tonos salvia, grises y azules del paisaje natural. Las dos alas parecen deslizarse una hacia la otra y luego alejarse. Desde el sur, la masa parece un frontón de dos partes: dos formas de acero revestido se encuentran en una estructura vertical central de piedra. La gran puerta pivotante de la entrada es accesible desde una veranda cubierta.
Las masas de piedra emergen verticalmente en la chimenea del salón y se retuercen a noventa grados en la chimenea de la cocina/comedor. Los profundos nichos permiten una gran variedad de momentos privados. La terraza norte, parcialmente cubierta, tiene una chimenea y una escalera que conduce a una terraza oculta en la azotea, que ofrece vistas de 360 grados para disfrutar desde las tumbonas, y la oportunidad de dormir bajo las estrellas en los calurosos meses de verano.
