Nestled high in the mountains at an elevation of 11,000 feet, this newly established lodge sits at the summit of the American Eagle lift, offering unparalleled access to the Colorado Rockies. With a variety of dining options, including a cafeteria, a formal restaurant, a cozy café, and two lively bars, guests can indulge in delicious meals while enjoying breathtaking panoramic views through the expansive glass façade.
RTM provided a full range of services, including MEP, technology, and specialty lighting design. The project incorporated high efficiency lighting and heating systems.
Design challenges included the logistical difficulties of construction at 11,000 feet above sea level and the impact of altitude on the HVAC system design, which required special consideration from our team.
Meanwhile, our lighting design team carefully collaborated to bring this luxury lodge to life, curating a lighting design that enhances its architectural beauty. The lighting scheme highlights the warm wood ceilings and accentuates the industrial concrete walls, creating a balanced and inviting atmosphere. In the cafeteria, a perimeter grazer highlights the light tile walls, providing vertical illumination that complements the natural brightness from the surrounding windows. Upstairs, flexible track lighting adapts to different dining arrangements, allowing the bold, decorative chandeliers to take center stage. The result is a visually captivating space that combines functional lighting with sophisticated design, elevating the overall guest experience at this exclusive mountain retreat.
