Inspired by historical railroad avalanche sheds, this Sugar Bowl beauty features a highly functional, yet stylish, bent planar roof that gathers and dumps snowpacks behind the building safely away from pedestrian traffic. To warm up the retreat’s exaggerated geometric forms, Real Cedar was used extensively throughout the project.
