A residence on a secluded property south of Aspen, Colorado. The house was designed to take maximum advantage of its passive solar orientation and wraps around a south facing courtyard. Designed to respectfully gesture towards its unique alpine environment by taking advantage of the panoramic mountain vista, and encouraging contact with the surrounding landscape by allowing all internal spaces to open out to the landscaped courtyards.

The warm contemporary style of the house draws on the local palette of materials and colours and reinterprets the use of traditional 'mountainesque' materials such as wood and stone in a modern context.
