Nestled in scenic valleys of southern Colorado, the Rio Grande River begins its descent in the Rocky Mtns. Through its twists and turns the river allows room for settlement. This residential home sought to capitalize on its site characteristics to fit one with the land. Built into the side of a hill, an artistic home grounds itself. Two different forms create one wholistic viewpoint to the river from anywhere within. Step into the entry and be greeted by a channeled view to the river with monolithic stone walls featuring captivating art on either side. Walk a little further and chose your path – to the main living area integrated with the existing trees and lively spaces below– or to the master sweet -serenely perched on the hill. No matter which path you chose this home impresses with its incorporation of modern materials that seamlessly take you from inside – out.
