Private Residence
Aspen, CO


Square Footage: 8,400
Completion Date: 1992

Located on a peaceful prairie surrounded by mountains, this Colorado vacation home blends into its beautiful surroundings. Rustic log cabins are clustered around a shaded, quiet courtyard pierced by radial constructions of copper and glass which track the movement of the sun. Exterior solar shades and roof overhangs monitor the quantity of daylight brought into the home to avoid excessive heat and glare. Occupants of the home may enjoy a 270-degree view of the surrounding mountains. Room temperature is kept comfortable and constant through radiant exposed concrete floors and bermed walls. The weathered exterior befits the environment and offers a rich contrast to the polished interior.
