Mountain Retreat

Aspen, Colorado

This modern lodge-style home set in the Five Trees neighborhood at the base of the Aspen Highlands ski area is a legacy home for extended families to gather in Aspen’s setting of natural beauty. The tri-level home is located on a steep site set in a forest of aspen and fir trees, and was designed in a mountain vernacular with modern influences. It includes multiple bedrooms, extensive decks and terraces, a pool and spa, and a generous motor court. 

The interior layout provides visual connections between main level public spaces, plus the ability to close off rooms for privacy. The home’s design includes connections to outdoor living spaces and views of Maroon Creek, Roaring Fork, and Hunter Creek valleys. The lower level includes space for a game room, gym, and massage room, as well as back of house support. Four-bedroom suites and a bunk room allow for generous and flexible sleeping arrangements. 

Exterior materials were informed by the textural nature of the surrounding mountains, as well as iconic National Park lodges. Natural stone veneer and wood slat siding pair with a standing seam metal roof. Additional materials and elements include a wood slat screen at the entry, heavy timber rafter tails, steel lintels, and a green roof over the living room.
