Centered on the long axis of the swimming pool, the fire pit area is a great place for the family to gather. Even the dogs love it! Westhauser Photography

Tucked into mature Ponderosa pines in a rolling golf course community south of Denver is a warm contemporary mountain modern house that emphasizes the horizontal plane with layered bands of dark, cantilevered fascia. The glowing stair tower signals the adjacent entry, delicately screened from view with a “secret garden”-style gate. The lushly planted courtyard is cast in a warm glow from the obscure garage windows abstracting the elegant shape of the owner’s Ferrari. Wall-to-wall glass doors and patios allow the home to capture stunning views of the front range with all the spectacular skies above. The exterior finishes consisting of coursed limestone, dark-stained cedar, and warm stucco, were chosen to harmonize with the surrounding ponderosa trunks and the winter grass hues.

We started by levelling the top area into two terraced lawns of low water Kurapia and more than doubling the space on the lower level with retaining walls. We built a striking new pergola with a graphic steel-patterned roof to make a covered seating area. Along with creating shade, the roof casts a movie reel of shade patterns throughout the day. Now there is ample space to kick back and relax, watching the sun spread its glow on the surrounding hillside as it makes its slow journey down the horizon towards sunset. An aerodynamic fan keeps the air pleasantly cool and refreshing. At night the backyard comes alive with an ethereal lighting scheme illuminating the space and making it a place you can enjoy well into the night. It’s the perfect place to end the day.

DECEMBER 2014 For this project the scale of the Montego Bay oversized rectangular chandelier was perfect for the dining room. The high ceilings, room size as well as the large dining table required a light fixture with substance and presence. Iridescent Mother of Pearl shell extensions were added to each layer, with the inside tier even more exaggerated. The dramatic customized Mother of Pearl shell chandelier was the focal point of the open concept main floor.
