A sense of place MAKE YOUR HOME A STATEMENT OF CONNECTION TO THE ROCKIES by KIMBERLY NICOLETTI

reating a home is a personal statement, an interaction between a family’s lifestyle with its environment. When it comes to mountain living, homeowners have a unique opportunity to connect their unique style to the Rockies, through architecture, interior design and outdoor living features. Crafting your home into a statement of connection to mountain living results from transforming a structure into a place of comfort and lasting bonds, both with human beings and with nature. “A home should speak to two equally important things: the nature of the place it is a part of and the nature and aspirations of the people who live in it,” says Daniel Dettwiler, an intern at Shepherd Resources, Inc. AIA Architects.
