Storage, style and functionality meld to create a sophisticated and practical space for a ski-loving family to change in and out of ski boots as well as to store their gear.

What the judges said: This design illustrates how an unfinished storage and laundry room can be turned into a new ski room. With consideration of a series of physical challenges, this space expertly handles both pragmatic access and storage as well as the various aspects expected of a ski room. The use of wood, granite and dark tile materials, along with the carefully designated lighting effects, works quite well.
