The Sequoia Mountain House was built by HR Pacific in 2014 at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, British Columbia. Designed by Willms Design Services, the residence is centered around a vertical red cedar log that supports the main timberframe and staircase. This feature serves as both a structural element and a focal point within the home.
The house is finished with numerous species of wood sourced from across North America, highlighting a wide range of textures and tones throughout the interiors. The combination of timberframe construction and varied finishes creates a residence that emphasizes natural materials and craftsmanship.
The name “Sequoia” was chosen by the homeowner, reflecting a family tradition. The original family home in Malta carried the same name, given by the homeowner’s grandfather. That home, known for its strength and resilience, became a lasting symbol for the family. In recognition of this heritage, the Sequoia Mountain House incorporates a central tree element as a tribute to the family’s history and legacy.
