Cornerstone Architecture has a long history of involvement with planning and design of Fernie Alpine Resort. In 1989 Cornerstone, in association with Atelier Montagne Ltd., Hotson Bakker Architects and Planners Ltd. and Eldon Beck and Associates prepared an updated masterplan for the resort. Shortly after preparation of that plan Cornerstone designed the first lodge at Timberline Village. The fourth building is under construction. Plans for the fifth building of the six building complex have just been completed. In 1995 Cornerstone began work on the Polar Peak Lodges complex. Six buildings are built and plans for the seventh building are complete. Cornerstone also designed buildings at Fernie Golf Estates for Mike Delich. The latest and most prestigious project at Fernie Alpine Resort is Bear Paw Lodges, done in association with Cheryl Link, a specialist in timberframe design. These exceptional quality buildings are a unique addition to the resort.
