Ecological responsibility, and uncompromising views, guided the design of this 4,300 square foot modern mountain home. Placing the house on a series of concrete piers, color-matched to the sites soil, and bridging across from the road, allow original hillside runoff patterns to remain, & flow under the house. It is a home that celebrates the intersection of earth and sky.

Unlike most homes, which in themselves are intended to be the feature element, this home serves as a viewing platform for what is truly the feature element. Nestled among evergreens at almost 9,000 feet on a steeply sloped hillside, this home makes no attempt to frame the ever-changing views of alpine forests & snow-covered peaks, but allows those views to run to, and off, the edge of the canvas.

It is the views from within the home that predicated its design, to lift the patrons above the trees, to allow one to step to the edge for the full, unhindered expansive view. When entering the front door & moving through the relatively shallow entry area, the simplistic interior architecture makes no effort to compete with the views beyond the glass, but provides a comfortable place from which to take in the always-changing vistas.
