Sun Valley

This stunning contemporary mountain home, nestled in the heart of Sun Valley, Idaho, is a true reflection of the breathtaking landscape that surrounds it. Designed for dear friends of Frank’s, the home was thoughtfully crafted to enhance the natural beauty of its location, offering panoramic views of Bald Mountain from virtually every room.

The project blends modern design with the serene elegance of mountain living. From the selection of materials to the custom furnishings and finishes that give this home its unique character, the Ponterio team handled every aspect of the interior architecture and design. The design emphasizes open spaces, clean lines, and an abundance of natural light, creating an inviting, airy atmosphere that complements the majestic surroundings.

Inspired by the natural environment, this home boasts a warm, neutral color palette and a carefully curated collection of architectural materials such as stone, wood and metal as well as natural, textural materials including leather, alpaca, forged bronze and blown glass, offering both sophistication and durability in this rugged mountain setting. The layout of the home fosters a seamless connection between the indoors and outdoors, with spaces designed for relaxation, entertaining, and enjoying the views at every turn.

This project is a testament to the deep personal connection between Frank and the homeowners, where every detail has been tailored to their lifestyle, tastes, and love for Sun Valley’s distinctive beauty.
