When full-time Massachusetts residents contemplate building a second home in Telluride, Colorado the question immediately arises; does it make most sense to hire a regionally based Rocky Mountain architect or a sea level architect conveniently located for all of the rigorous collaboration required for successful bespoke home design. Determined to prove the latter true, Siemasko + Verbridge accompanied the potential client as they scoured the undulating Telluride landscape in search of the perfect house site. The selected site’s harmonious balance of untouched meadow rising up to meet the edge of an aspen grove and the opposing 180 degree view of Wilson’s Range spoke to everyone. A plateau just beyond a fork in the meadow provided a natural flatland, requiring little excavation and yet the right amount of upland slope to capture the views. The intrinsic character of the site was only enriched by an elk trail and snake-rail fence. Establishing the expanse of Wilson’s range would be best served by rejecting the notion of selected views, the central sweeping curve of the roof inverts a small saddle in the range with which it is perfectly aligned. The soaring wave of custom windows and the open floor plan make the relatively modest house feel sizable despite its footprint of just under 2,000 square feet. Officially a two bedroom home, the bunk room and loft allow the home to comfortably sleep ten, encouraging large gatherings of family and friends. The home is completely off the grid in response to the unique and fragile qualities of the landscape. Great care was taken to respect the regions vernacular through the use of mostly native materials and a palette derived from the terrain found at 9,820 feet above sea level.

Contemporary wood flat roof idea in Seattle

PA has created an elegant Modern Farmhouse design for a farm-to-table lifestyle. This new home is 3400 sf with 5 bedroom, 4 ½ bath and a 3 car garage on very large 26,724 sf lot in Mill Valley with incredible views. Flowing Indoor-outdoor spaces. Light, airy and bright. Fresh, natural contemporary design, with organic inspirations.

Look how clean and visually quiet this kitchen can be. There was so little exposed wall left after the cabinetry went in that we didn't overthink using black on the walls. Of course it doesn't "make the room dark". This room has ample light to begin with and at night, a fantastic city lights view is out those doors, so it's as if the walls recede.

White bathroom design by Lori Gentile. The stylish, young couple found us in their search for the right architect and interior designer to collaborate on their first custom home. The design inspiration was modern with a high-style glamorous edge. All of the furniture is custom made and extremely detail-oriented. The decorative lighting sets the signature tone and creates a sexy excitement that completes each space.
