Designed to harmonize with its surroundings, this five bedroom house is modern and yet evocative of the old mountain West. After an ascending approach from the meadows of the valley floor, the ranch-inspired, pitched-roof home appears to emerge from the south-facing hillside, dotted with native serviceberry and scrub oak, and spirals upward, hiding its volume (7,500 square feet). Composed of glass, wood and Colorado buff stone, the house features an open-living plan—yielding magnificent views—and is replete with an art studio and gym. The house sits on 35 acres in the Snowmass Creek Valley, with views of Snowmass Ski Resort, and is 20 minutes outside of Aspen.
