New View Designs by Laurie Cole Inc.Black vinyl board and batten style siding was installed around the entire exterior, accented with cedar wood tones on the garage door, dormer window, and the posts on the front porch. The dark, modern look was continued with the use of black soffit, fascia, windows, and stone.
Vetter ArchitectsThe owners requested that their home harmonize with the spirit of the surrounding Colorado mountain setting and enhance their outdoor recreational lifestyle - while reflecting their contemporary architectural tastes. The site was burdened with a myriad of strict design criteria enforced by the neighborhood covenants and architectural review board. Creating a distinct design challenge, the covenants included a narrow interpretation of a “mountain style” home which established predetermined roof pitches, glazing percentages and material palettes - at direct odds with the client‘s vision of a flat-roofed, glass, “contemporary” home.
Our solution finds inspiration and opportunities within the site covenant’s strict definitions. It promotes and celebrates the client’s outdoor lifestyle and resolves the definition of a contemporary “mountain style” home by reducing the architecture to its most basic vernacular forms and relying upon local materials.
The home utilizes a simple base, middle and top that echoes the surrounding mountains and vegetation. The massing takes its cues from the prevalent lodgepole pine trees that grow at the mountain’s high altitudes. These pine trees have a distinct growth pattern, highlighted by a single vertical trunk and a peaked, densely foliated growth zone above a sparse base. This growth pattern is referenced by placing the wood-clad body of the home at the second story above an open base composed of wood posts and glass. A simple peaked roof rests lightly atop the home - visually floating above a triangular glass transom. The home itself is neatly inserted amongst an existing grove of lodgepole pines and oriented to take advantage of panoramic views of the adjacent meadow and Continental Divide beyond.
The main functions of the house are arranged into public and private areas and this division is made apparent on the home’s exterior. Two large roof forms, clad in pre-patinated zinc, are separated by a sheltering central deck - which signals the main entry to the home. At this connection, the roof deck is opened to allow a cluster of aspen trees to grow – further reinforcing nature as an integral part of arrival.
Outdoor living spaces are provided on all levels of the house and are positioned to take advantage of sunrise and sunset moments. The distinction between interior and exterior space is blurred via the use of large expanses of glass. The dry stacked stone base and natural cedar cladding both reappear within the home’s interior spaces.
This home offers a unique solution to the client’s requests while satisfying the design requirements of the neighborhood covenants. The house provides a variety of indoor and outdoor living spaces that can be utilized in all seasons. Most importantly, the house takes its cues directly from its natural surroundings and local building traditions to become a prototype solution for the “modern mountain house”.

Marià Castelló, ArchitectureCan Xomeu Rita es una pequeña vivienda que toma el nombre de la finca tradicional del interior de la isla de Formentera donde se emplaza. Su ubicación en el territorio responde a un claro libre de vegetación cercano al campo de trigo y avena existente en la parcela, donde la alineación con las trazas de los muros de piedra seca existentes coincide con la buena orientación hacia el Sur así como con un área adecuada para recuperar el agua de lluvia en un aljibe.
La sencillez del programa se refleja en la planta mediante tres franjas que van desde la parte más pública orientada al Sur con el acceso y las mejores visuales desde el porche ligero, hasta la zona de noche en la parte norte donde los dormitorios se abren hacia levante y poniente. En la franja central queda un espacio diáfano de relación, cocina y comedor.
El diseño bioclimático de la vivienda se fundamenta en el hecho de aprovechar la ventilación cruzada en el interior para garantizar un ambiente fresco durante los meses de verano, gracias a haber analizado los vientos dominantes. Del mismo modo la profundidad del porche se ha dimensionado para que permita los aportes de radiación solar en el interior durante el invierno y, en cambio, genere sombra y frescor en la temporada estival.
El bajo presupuesto con que contaba la intervención se manifiesta también en la tectónica del edificio, que muestra sinceramente cómo ha sido construido. Termoarcilla, madera de pino, piedra caliza y morteros de cal permanecen vistos como acabados conformando soluciones constructivas transpirables que aportan más calidez, confort y salud al hogar.
