Seven Glaciers sits at 2,200 feet above sea level on the slopes of Alyeska, accessible only by aerial tram — a position that demanded a building envelope engineered for sustained exposure to wind-driven snow and extreme cold.
The interior ceiling structure is composed of custom-milled Alaskan spruce beams, each dried and graded on site before installation to ensure dimensional stability at elevation.
Floor-to-ceiling glazing on three sides captures panoramic views of the Chugach Range while maintaining Code-compliant thermal performance — triple-pane units with argon fill and low-E coatings rated to -40°F.
