Overview

The design team approached the renovation of this four-star resort into a five-star hotel/condominium complex with a bold and deliberate precision, and the jurors took note: "Someone took a really strong stand with the big slab of marble," a juror said, describing the marble slab that extends from the wall below the gas fireplace. The jurors liked the elegant materials and precise layout, and they thought the concept of a luxury, mountainside residence was well executed. "The lighting is very good, too," a juror added.
