Whisky Creek Lodge Under Construction
We are building a new lodge this summer using sustainable building materials that will create more interior space for people to share the Wind River and our beautiful forest. Designed to bring the forest to the inside and provide cover from the elements when necessary.
No Concrete (worlds most embodied energy construction technique)
Helical Piers for less earth disturbance and flood and earthquake resilience
Structurally Insulated Panels for incredible R value, complete control of air permutation, and 80% less hidden wood framing material
Fir beam rafters for beauty and visible structural support
Metal Roofing and Cementous siding along with 30’ of a cleared landscape for Wildfire mitigation
We had an amazing summer building the lodge with good friends. check out the video below.
