​

Featuring panoramic views and dramatic scenery, the Aspen mountain home is inspired by its surroundings. It takes advantage of the sweeping views and mountain range beyond.  The client requested an open concept floor plan with easy flow that could serve as a quiet weekend retreat as well as a place to entertain friends and family.

 

​In collaboration with Siena Valley Club, the mountain home includes a contiguous kitchen, dining and living spaces, as well as three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Fluidity is achieved with huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the main house (capturing spectacular views of mountains), oversized sliding doors, and a double-sided stone fireplace that can be enjoyed from the great room and dining room. The living and dining spaces open onto almost 900 square feet of covered outdoor patio. These spaces create outdoor living rooms, providing perfect spots to lounge on sunny afternoons or gather around an outdoor fireplace on cool evenings. A deck off the upper level master suite offers a private outdoor area and a hot tub.

​

The mountain home's primary elevation faces almost due south, with extensive glazing at both upper and lower levels to admit winter sun and views. Large overhangs supported by exposed steel columns block summer sun to the upstairs bedrooms.
