Sustainable development is the masterful balance of meeting our own needs
while preserving future generations' ability to do the same
Recently retired from a rigorous medical practice in the east coast, this individual was looking for a forested retreat for themself and their extended family. Mountain modern was the established aesthetic goal, and with a mix of rich, complimentary natural textures and tones, that’s exactly what we created. The core of the home quickly became a large, custom island (nicknamed “The Continent”) for entertaining and hosting loved ones. The breathtakingColoradomountainscreateanidealbackdropforthishideaway.
