Windcliff Residence
Ecological responsibility, and uncompromising views, guided the design of this 4,300 square foot modern mountain home. Placing the house on a series of concrete piers, color-matched to the sites soil, and bridging across from the road, allow original hillside runoff patterns to remain, & flow under the house. It is a home that celebrates the intersection of earth and sky.
The tendrils of this home thread among the existing Lodgepole Pine trees to create a complex intermingling of architecture & landscape. The earthen-colored piers, blurring the boundary between building and site, are juxtaposed against the homes uninterrupted expanse of triple-glazed windows, capturing the dramatic panorama of Rocky Mountain National Park’s Continental Divide, anchored by Longs Peak to the south.
