Seldom in 3DS’s work have contrasting elements been so dramatically juxtaposed as in this bold Aspen sales center. In a surprising alliance of styles, huge, sweeping sheets of gleaming, angular metal coexist in the space with rough, rustic barn wood, for an effect described as “Daniel Boone Meets Blade Runner”. This Snowmass Village Presentation Center occupies a …
In this quaint Catskills town, Windham Mountain Ski Resort does a perennially brisk business. “Legends Bar & Grill” was a 15,000-foot restaurant and bar in the base lodge that hadn’t been renovated for decades. 3DS was asked to update the entire decor, but retain the logistical advantages of a large space. Even though it’s a …
The 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley came to define Squaw Valley as one of the continent’s preeminent Ski Resorts. The food and beverage facilities of this mountain resort had not been renovated since the 1980s. In terms of theming, the mountain’s Olympic history was a natural place to start.

The Snowshed Lodge food court was an extremely tired facility in a cramped, claustrophobic space, with an inefficient use of space. In this full design/build, 3DS transformed the cafeteria by turning it inside out and arranging food kiosks around the periphery. With the dining area now open and spacious, customer traffic flow happens naturally, rather than …
Red Pine Lodge at The Canyons was becoming too small for the enthusiastic crowds it was entertaining. This is an intimate mountaintop lodge in a heavily visited resort and needed a more efficient foot traffic system to avoid congestion and keep its food and beverage operation running smoothly.

Alyeska Resort wanted to capitalize on an underutilized corner of the Bore Tide Deli in their mid-mountain lodge. The space had incredible views over sprawling Turnagain Arm, the Chugach Mountain Range, and the seven local “hanging” glaciers. 3DS knew just what to do. We created an intimate lounge and bar and brought the natural surroundings …
Lake Louise came to 3DS with two on-mountain lodges, one small, one not-so-small. Temple Lodge was a little wooden jewel.
