Located on a site with lake front acreage in the
Meadowood sub-division of Aspen, the residence marries the
breezy, relaxed character of a beach house with classic materials
and deliberate proportion and detailing. The design responds directly
to the client’s desire to create a central funnel bringing together
family and friends. The house consists of two masonry
bookend walls. As one flows through the house, they are continually
passing through and experiencing these walls. Indoor/outdoor
relationships are strong throughout the house and large windows
bring the multiple direction mountain views into the house. The
house program is considered for all ages. Public spaces are generously
sized and flexible for entertaining and spending time together.
A green house allows for year round horticulture with an
adjacent recreation room for rough housing and art projects. Private
spaces are well proportioned and include an adult retreat
complete with artist studio, music room and rooftop terrace for stargazing.
