Powder House Pass, Lead, SD · Warm interiors, generous windows and outdoor rooms in the Black Hills.
The project
A tall gathering room. A close connection to the trees.
RNR Lodge pairs a gabled exterior with warm, comfortable interiors. The main living room rises to a wood-lined ceiling, with a tall window wall bringing the pine setting into the heart of the home. A fireplace and open kitchen keep the gathering spaces connected.
Outside, an elevated deck creates another place to share a meal or sit among the trees. A sheltered patio below, a second lounge and a mix of bedrooms give the home several ways to gather and unwind. Dark cabinetry and trim carry a consistent material palette from the kitchen to the quieter rooms.
