Moving away from the traditional trend of the classic ski cabins, contemporary mountain retreats are throwing up a whole new design style that blends the modern with the rustic in an exquisite fashion. Nestled in the snowy slopes of Colorado, this breathtaking getaway was designed for a family of passionate skiers by Morgante Wilson Architects and brings the comforts of urban lifestyle to a relaxed, mountainside setting. Spread across three different levels and 3500 square feet, the fabulous home is perched atop a hillside and offers captivating views of the scenic landscape that surrounds it.
One can see the seamless combination of the contemporary and the classic from the very outset as the façade of the home blends stone and wood with exquisite use of glass. This theme continues inside the residence as well with each room showcasing lovely textural contrast. A grand entry welcomes you into the house with the living area being housed on the top level along with the bedrooms. The basement level features additional kitchen and social spaces and a smart, neutral color scheme is employed across the three floors.
Natural materials and surfaces dominate the interior and smart lighting accentuates this touch of traditional Colorado timber style. Yet, the grand retreat is not all about aesthetics alone as smart power-saving systems along with a roof clad in solar panels ensures that it is as energy-efficient as possible.
