These two buildings, completed mid-December 1981, form the first phase of a new year-round destination resort near Park City, Utah-Deer Valley Resort. Although they share a great deal in common, the two buildings are designed for different purposes. Snow Park, at the base of the mountain, is both the gateway to Deer Valley skiing and the marshaling point of day skiers. Silver Lake, located on one side of a valley of shops and houses that will accommodate longer-term visitors to the resort, and is therefore designed in part with them in mind. Both buildings are designed to a common, 20 foot square module, and both share a common structural system and common exterior and interior details and materials (although the detailing of each structure differs from the other). Yet, the two buildings a significantly different in feeling: Snow Park is the more expensive building, designed as a large gabled form, its south facade (and south-facing rooms) open to views and sunlight. Silver Lake is more intimate, more like a hunting lodge, with rooms which, though spacious, are self-contained and seperate from one another. This quality make possible its use as a place for conferences and private gatherings-a desirable feature in a resort that plans to attract a year-round clientele. The design of both lodges reflects both the architects' and the owner's concern for the relationship between building and climate.
