Design: When our clients purchased their vacation home in Winter Park, they loved the location, but the exterior no longer reflected their style. Having partnered with us on their Boulder home a few years ago, they knew what it felt like to go through our process. There was already trust, already a shared language around design. So when it came time to reimagine their mountain retreat, they reached out again, ready to create something that felt cohesive with their personal aesthetic yet uniquely suited to its alpine surroundings. And so, the goal of this Winter Park remodel was simple: transform an outdated exterior into a refined mountain-modern retreat. We used their Boulder home as a stylistic foundation (clean lines, thoughtful contrast, intentional materiality) but softened and adapted the palette to embrace the rugged beauty of Winter Park. The design leaned into a more natural, mountain-inspired expression while maintaining the minimal sophistication they love. Every selection was made to feel timeless, grounded, and appropriate for a home nestled in the Rockies. Build: Although there were no structural changes, the transformation was comprehensive. We redesigned and refreshed every exterior component to align with the new mountain modern vision. Updated finishes, refined details, and a carefully curated material palette gave the home a cohesive, elevated presence. Durability was equally important. Mountain homes must stand up to heavy snow, intense sun, and fluctuating temperatures. We selected long-lasting, low-maintenance materials, including composite decking, to ensure the exterior performs beautifully for years to come. The result is a fully realized Winter Park remodel that feels intentional, contemporary, and perfectly at home in its surroundings, a vacation retreat that now reflects the same warmth and design clarity as their primary residence.

As the garden transitions to winter, winterberries change from green to bright red, where they will glow brilliantly during the winter, providing food for the birds when they need it most. Winterberry shrubs enjoy a sunny but moist location for best growing conditions. It's also important to have both male and female plants (about a 1:4 ratio), and for them to have the same period of pollen receptivity for the female and pollen production for the male, otherwise there will be a suboptimal production of berries (check the details with your local nursery, horticulturalist or landscape designer or landscape architect). Winterberry shrubs take time to produce their berries, so the sooner they are planted, the better. This female plant is approximately 5 years of age and is situated in optimal conditions, with a male plant nearby. Photo credit: M A Jaworski Landscape Design
