Located below a mature Aspen grove, the 4 acre site commands spectacular views toward the lower Roaring Fork Valley. The owners wanted to capture the long views of the valley at every opportunity from the interior, and maintain intimacy of the natural landscape. Adjacent to a ski run for in and out access the conceptual design is that of a hill village that maintains scale to the massing of the homes elements as it gracefully climbs the steep site. Layers of stone and timber on the exterior and interior comfortably balance large fields of glass to consistently engage the landscape and views. The 10,000 SF home removes the heavy character of traditional timber framed homes, and refines the simpleness and beauty of the finishes, and interior for a lighter transitional feel.
