Description

Tucked into the gentle slope of a sage covered hillside site just minutes from Aspen, this 8,250 square foot residence sits lightly on the land and enjoys unobstructed views of Roaring Fork Valley peaks from Snowmass Mountain to Mt. Sopris.

Open yet private, each of the three levels is purposefully terraced to sustain the beauty of the natural landscape and individually angled to curate the mountain views and maximize sunlight throughout the day. The wellness focused concept utilizes biophilic design to invite the exterior inside with a series of stacked green roof terraces that provide natural
outdoor areas to reinforce the connection to the surroundings.

This net zero house utilizes both photovoltaic roof panels and ground source heat pumps to remain off the grid. A solar back up battery is planned. Triple pane windows and continuous insulation provides a super-efficient core and shell. The green roofs lessen site run off and offer habitat for flora and fauna.
