"The golden age of Alpine skiing" influenced the interiors and branding of this hotel in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, designed by US collective Commune.
Situated in Teton Village, at the base of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Caldera House provides an up-scale retreat for winter-sports enthusiasts and nature lovers who flock to the region.

Commune was responsible for the design of two of the hotel's eight suites, which each include multiple bedrooms and living spaces, and its communal areas.

The Los Angeles-based studio has plenty of experience in the hospitality sector, having previously completed interiors for Ace Hotel in Chicago and Los Angeles, and converted a 1960s bank in North Carolina into boutique accommodation.

The starting point for this project was the Caldera House logo: a branding iron featuring a downhill ski racer. The team began gathering references from European ski resorts in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, including Casa de Sole by Carlo Mollino and the Meribel accommodation by Charlotte Perriand.

To create the desired ambiance, Commune selected finishes and furniture that range from mid-century Scandinavian to pieces by local designers.
"The result is a mix of European style, American craftsmanship, and the comfort and casual attitude of the West," said a statement on behalf of the hotel.
