Building design at Nordic Valley will blend mountain design elements that are proven over time to be appropriate for the mountain setting, local climate and materials that blend into the existing setting. All architecture within the project will strive to preserve the pristine views and natural beauty while creating an identifiable and cohesive US Alpine
modern mountain design aesthetic. This style “Alpine Modern” is intentionally open-ended in its definition to allow for diversity yet consistency of common elements that create the basis for all designs. All architecture must balance with the natural landscape. The land and its magnificent panoramas shall remain the dominant design feature, and
improvements are not to detract from the site’s natural surroundings. Buildings should be sited to minimize grading by following the natural features of the topography. Building masses and articulation are to create shadow, texture, and patterns that help buildings recede into the landscape rather than dominate it.
