Photo: Susan J. Tweit mountain prairie garden in Salida, Colorado, of native bunch grasses, shrubs, and wildflowers designed to provide habitat for pollinators and songbirds. The plants include Sunset hyssop (Agastache rupestris, the pink spires on the left), blue grama grass (Bouteloua gracilis, golden “eyebrow” flowerheads), common Gaillardia or blanketflower (Gaillardia aristata, the yellow daisy-like flower with red markings), rubber rabbitbrush (Ericamera nauseosa, the multi-stemmed shrub in the background with gold flowers), and Bigelow’s tansy aster (Dieteria bigelovii, the purple flowers).

Designed around a courtyard, this modern home both extends the interior views outwards and creates a sense of privacy. We carefully calibrated the proportions of all the volumes forming the building, as well as the size of the courtyard, to emphasize these qualities. The highly polished concrete floor is continuous throughout the entire house. Wood slats, metal siding, and exposed masonry round off the material palette.

A swooping charcoal-gray stone wall tells the story of this modern home in one gentle but generous gesture. Enveloping trees, entry, living room, and vistas all at once separates the main wing for two from an in-law suite and carefully guides this ensemble around a set of mature tress. Lightly placing this house on a heavily wooded Charlotte, NC site while keeping the natural setting intact, paired with concerns of privacy, sunlight, and views of nature has made the initial design phase especially fun and challenging.
