Village Center
Teton Village, Wyoming
Completion Date: In Design
Along with the new Four Seasons hotel and the Carney Architects-designed tram building, this mixed-use development comprises part of an endeavor to revitalize the base of Teton Village.
In addition to creating an inviting, pedestrian-friendly passage to the ski resort's new aerial tram, the program for this 70,000 sf building consists of two levels of prime retail and office space, three levels of high-end short-term rental condominiums, and one level of below-grade parking.
As the only Teton Village building with primary pedestrian corridors on all four sides of a tight lot, the design team faced numerous height and safety regulations as well as a rigorous code of aesthetics imposed by the Teton Village Architectural Committee. By designing around these challenges and applying sustainable technologies, the team arrived at a high-performing building solution that fits with the existing architectural fabric of the village while incorporating new environmentally conscious strategies.
Key sustainable elements of the project include the use of regionally quarried stone, fast-growth timber glulams, bio-based spray foam insulation for energy efficiency and human health, Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood cabinetry and flooring, no-Volatile Organic Compound paint, a green roof section comprised of native grasses, and recycled rubber floor tile.
