Lodgepole Retreat has been completed by Arch11. The inspiration for creating a house with such an unusual yet simple shape was the natural elevation of the soil. A simple flat roof allows for quick snow drift control while serving as a 1,000-watt photovoltaic system. Heating boilers, heat exchanger and LED lighting allow the house to function even when there is a total lack of power. All building components and materials meet high fire safety standards.

The Lodgepole Retreat project by Arch11 in Colorado, USA seems to offer a captivating mix of natural beauty and human innovation. Are the snow-capped mountains the main attraction, or does the engineered warmth of the retreat hold its own spell over visitors?
