Roots Architecture + Design has completely overhauled the interior and exterior of this gorgeous ski house in Okemo, Vermont. This inviting chalet has 2,700 square feet of living space, five bedrooms, and four bathrooms.
On the exterior, the third level was bumped out to increase floor space in the owner’s bedroom suite. Decks were reconfigured to incorporate an exterior entry and ski storage room. New metal and cedar railings were added for all new deck areas. The deck was extended to the east to incorporate a storage room below and a deck area for the hot tub above.

New windows open the living room up to maximize the view of the green mountains. Clear cedar at the entry and behind the hot tub adds a touch of warmth. A board-formed concrete wall with native slate cap serves as a base and support for the deck above. A new standing seam roof and new cedar siding complete the exterior of the home with a classic grey stained finish.
What We Love: After a beautiful makeover, this ski house now offers sophisticated, modern, and comfortable spaces for family gatherings during ski seasons and holidays. The newly renovated interior layout features luminous living spaces courtesy of large windows, framing idyllic views of the wooded landscape and beyond to the Green Mountains. With inviting guest bedrooms and spa-like bathrooms, guests will never want to leave!
