Welk NorthStar Resort at Lake Tahoe

This building sits on the steep bluff overlooking entry into the spectacular NorthStar Village at the base of the ski gondola, 11 miles off the north shore of Lake Tahoe.

Design inspiration behind this third and final phase came from desire to give the visitors and residents alike a gateway into the village and a capstone for the resort.

Exterior material palette is in concert with the established character of the village. It features natural stone, 3 shades of stained natural wood, and heavy timber. Resort accommodations range from studio to 5-bedroom units. Amenities include extensive facilities for fitness and entertainment both indoor and outdoor.

The sharply sloping topography of the site; a desire to save existing mature vegetation; the site, building & material sustainability all worked together to help shape the structure and site amenities.
