Warm materials, expansive windows and room to unwind.
Powder House Pass, Lead, SD · A mountain home with warmth at its center.
The project
Gather in the light. Settle into the hills.
At Powder House Pass near Lead, Embers Way pairs clean exterior lines with a warm, wood-rich interior. A tall window wall brings the surrounding pines into view, while the great-room fireplace anchors an open arrangement of living, dining and kitchen spaces.
The home offers many ways to spend time together: an upper-level sitting area, a separate media room and a covered deck with its own stone fireplace. Wood cabinetry, dark metal railings and pale counters carry a consistent material palette through the rooms, with generous bedroom spaces and practical storage completing the picture.
