Perched at an elevation of 9,000 feet (2,743 metres), Horizon is a new development located atop a popular ski resort destination in the midwestern United States. MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple sought to avoid the clichés and "excessive" designs often seen in resort settings. The simple structures are clad in cedar planks and shingle roofs, drawing from traditional homes located in the nearby Eden Valley below. Generous amounts of glazing provide plenty of views of the landscape. Images of the project show several units that have a partially covered terrace overlooking the mountainous panorama beyond. "The siting of the buildings and bridges was carefully organised to minimise views into neighbouring units, while framing unobstructed, southwest sunset views," said the studio. - Dezeen
