Safdie Architects and PWP Landscape Architecture have unveiled their design for a master-planned residential development in Killington, Vermont. Developed by Great Gulf, the “mountain village community” will include the largest ski beach in the Eastern United States.

The 450-acre development is framed by the 4,241-foot Killington Peak, one of six mountain peaks to surround the village. The first phase of the community will see 32,000 square feet of commercial space accompanying 225 residences, comprising condominiums, townhomes, and single-family homes. The residential community will also feature ski-in/ski-out access.

“We aim to capture the spirit of, and character of, the Vermont village in a contemporary rendition of vital public spaces for all seasons,” Moshe Safdie is quoted on a website dedicated to the development.

Pre-construction is currently underway on the site, with sales for the first residences expected to launch in 2024.

News of the scheme comes months after Safdie Architects, Epic Games, and Neoscape collaborated on the recreation of Habitat 67’s original vision in Unreal Engine. Last week, the firm was also included as part of our featured employer highlights.
