At the base of Mount Disney at California’s Sugar Bowl Resort there sits an understated wooden structure. The house, which belongs to a family of four and its dog, embodies the quintessential cabin in the woods with a new cedar board and batten facade, shingles, and deck rails. Pennyroyal, an existing 1970s ski house, was recently renovated by San Francisco–based architecture firm, Obata Noblin Office (ONO).
ONO wanted the interiors to reflect the beauty of the wood-clad exterior. As such, rich wood tones were brought to the forefront outside as well as in. Case in point: a monolithic oak staircase gently demands attention from one floor to the next. The oak millwork makes its presence known in every room of the house—from ceiling beams and door frames to entire walls. Hallways are completely clad in the warm material, garnering a cohesive design from one room to the next.
