\ The Lion Comes to Life in Vail \
The exterior design from OZ captures a mod-
ern take on the Bavarian manor house with a
stone base, natural wood trusses and modern
lines.
OZ Principal Eduardo Illanes coins the look
as, “Alpine Modern,” blending the mountain
getaway with an urban-feel that is in synch
with the surrounding Lionshead community.
Materials such as copper, stucco and natural
cedar impart European styling and are reflec-
tive of forty years of Vail tradition.
Large windows in each unit take advantage
of the natural surroundings providing expan-
sive views of the valley. Interior comforts are
reflected in fine design details such as open
floor plans and luxury materials. The residen-
cies are clean and contemporary, with plenty
of natural light and vaulted ceilings.\\
