Overland Trail Cabin is a 4,200-SF luxury estate located in the world-renowned Sugar Bowl Ski Resort in California. BCV Architecture + Interiors designed the property so homeowners could take advantage of mountain living year-round; the home is close to several hiking and mountain bike trails for warmer months and offers direct chair lift access during colder months.

The exterior of Overland Trail Cabin pays homages to the traditional village ski lodge with a pitched roof and oversized deck for entertaining. The architecture features a dramatic timber structure shedding snow to the north and east as well as an exposed aluminum structure required to tame the heavy snow loads of Donner Summit. Two granite chimney masses complete the home and act as bookends rooting it to the earth.

The two-story home’s focal point is the entertaining areas including the great room with spectacular mountain views, expansive glazing for plentiful natural light and an outdoor deck running the length of the living and dining areas. Located adjacent to the great room, the gourmet kitchen is ideal for hosting large gatherings and features an island with waterfall slab countertops and premium appliances by Wolf, Sub-zero and Kitchen Aid.

The lower level includes ski and summer storage rooms, additional bunk and guest bedrooms, and a media room with wet bar. Overland also features in-floor hydronic heating throughout and summer cooling systems.

In addition to Overland Trail Cabin, BCV Architecture + Interiors also designed several other Sugar Bowl projects including the award-winning Crow’s Nest Residence, The Belt Room and the Village Station.

“The Snowbound Village at Sugar Bowl is one of the truly magical environments in the United States. Each of our projects seeks to respond to the unique opportunities of its site. At the Overland Trail Cabin we celebrate the extraordinary combination of the Sugar Bowl and Royal Gorge,” stated founding principal Hans Baldauf, FAIA.
