Contemporary Ski Chalet

The result of a four-year collaboration between Emerson Bailey and its client, this 6,422-square-foot ski-in, ski-out lodge in Beaver Creek balances the warmth of a wood-clad chalet with genuine European sophistication. Built for multigenerational gathering, the home holds six bedrooms and eight bathrooms without losing its sense of intimacy. Organic wood and stone give way to custom-carved marble bathtubs, stone sinks, and Moroccan plaster walls, layered with mohair, wool, cashmere, and alpaca textiles. Furnishings move fluidly between custom EB Interiors pieces, artisan work, and a curated mix of antiques: an Arne Jacobsen 'Egg' chair, Qing Dynasty yoke-back chairs, Swedish factory crucibles and root bowls among them. Beneath its rustic surface, the chalet is quietly high-tech, with hidden solar panels, motorized sunshades, and energy-efficient systems supporting a home deeply tied to the mountain landscape around it, a retreat as at home in the Rockies as in the pages of a design magazine.
