Sun Peaks Resort, Canada
Since 1992, Ecosign has acted as the prime consultant and project planner for the transformation of the Tod Mountain Ski Area into Sun Peaks Resort, a four season resort community with approximately 500 residents and 8,000 beds. Over $400 million has been invested by the resort and private developers to expand the ski area onto 3 mountains, construct an 18 hole championship golf course and build over 1,600 new dwelling units. During this period annual skier visits have increased by a factor of 5.5 from just over 62,000 in the early 1990's to over 342,000 in 2007/2008.
Ecosign, in conjunction with architect Mory Bergmeyer, developed the Sun Peaks Master Plan and designed the "look" of the resort, which reflects traditional alpine villages of Central Europe. The village's architecture incorporates gabled rooflines, colourful façades, a variety of intriguing window treatments and ornate signage. Covered pedestrian walkways known as "arcades" are also provided on one or two sides of all the village buildings. Decks and balconies provide useable outdoor space and add interest to the buildings when viewed from the village street.
Ecosign has guided every step of development at Sun Peaks, starting with the initial Resort Master Plan in 1992, followed by a detailed Village Plan and then moving on to detailed design and construction supervision of numerous projects over the past 18 years.
