Light on the Land
Set on a heavily wooded site in Telluride, Colorado, this custom contemporary residence is a thoughtful expression of mountain architecture that responds directly to its natural surroundings. Drawing inspiration from the native Aspen and conifer trees, the design incorporates natural stone, warm wood finishes, narrow-profile windows, and exposed structural steel to establish a strong connection to the landscape.
Crafted details throughout the home echo the organic forms of the surrounding forest, showcasing fine craftsmanship and adding a layer of character to the architecture. Designed to sit lightly on the land, the residence is carefully sited to minimize environmental impact while maximizing privacy and views. The steep terrain opens opportunities for elevated decks and generous outdoor living spaces, offering seclusion without sacrificing light or openness. The result is a harmonious blend of contemporary design and Colorado mountain living.
