Description

Part of a family compound, the home is  positioned at the edge of a meadow, amid existing evergreens, spruce and gambel oak trees. With the goal of integrating the home on the site as seamlessly as possible, the team designed an iconic, gabled house form that gradually “peels up” from a traditional symmetrical front to an open back that transitions into the landscape and focuses on the views.

 Indoor spaces are light filled with a balance of outdoor connections. The public spaces are curated and crafted for their intended use while maintaining an open floor plan. Outdoor living spaces are designed to both maximize mountain and meadow views, and provide easy transitions between the interior and exterior. Exterior materials were influenced by the organic palette of the surroundings.

 A separate greenhouse building was designed for a year-round edible garden and enable a farm-to-table learning experience for the family.
