Mountainous Retreat

Ski Resort expands to add upscale sales center

When Utah's Deer Valley Ski resort needed to add
a facility for its sales consultants they quickly realized
the enormity of their task.

Mountainous surroundings and thick evergreen forestry left little construction space for a new building, while annual snowfalls averaging 300 inches made installation seem impossible. They had to find a way to develop attractive and functional space on their existing land. How do you do that?

Deer Valley looked to ModSpace's Component Construction. By using this advanced construction method the ski resort found they could work within their challenging site conditions and still gain a beautiful, fully customized building.

Working with local code requirements, ModSpace and Deer Valley incorporated several safety elements into the building's design. Roofing and trussing was constructed to withstand 200 lb snow loads and an antifreeze sprinkler system was installed to ensure operation during frigid temperatures. A 6' high concrete sonitube foundation was developed upon which the building's components were craned-in and set permanently to the foundation.

Thoughtful planning to the building's interior design yielded spectacular results, including rich earth toned plaster walls, reclaimed wood flooring, and hand carved wood beams and doors. The floorplan guides visitors around a display gallery, on to the site model and back to the lobby area. Comfortable furnishings that enhance the building's rustic appeal were added as a final touch.

As a result of choosing ModSpace, Deer Valley was able to work within their difficult site conditions and gain an exquisite, fully functional sales facility in nearly half the time of conventional construction methods.
