Designed for a development partnership, this Single-Family spec home is sited on a south facing Colorado hillside with great solar exposure, southeast views to nearby ski resort of Arrowhead and southern views to the valley below.. One-level living is accomplished with Garage/Master/Kitchen/Dining and Living Room all on the main level. Southwest setting sun is mitigated by glazed recesses on the south elevation and by a protected deck on the eastern corner. The lower living level containing bedrooms and a Family Room walk-out onto patios and a terraced, delineated lawn.
Houses in the immediate neighborhood of this single family residence incorporate both flat roofs and pitched roofs, both desert inspired southwest pueblo architecture, and mountain architecture, and both stucco and wood siding. Melding the styles in one home, a low-slung roof system and wood sided volumes hover over blocks of stucco base elements. Employing “white-washed” recessed niches and mini courtyards on the facade refers to a vernacular practice in territorial southwest architecture that functions to allow protected exterior spaces that are shaded to be not overly darkened by the high contrast of sunlight and shade of high desert environments.
