The concept for this home renovation was to showcase the owners’ love for the mountains of Colorado and meet their health needs in an aesthetically pleasing manner. The home must accomodate a wheelchair and a sensitivity to rough surfaces while creating a relaxing atmosphere. It must also allow for a large number of guests as the couple has recently retired and have more time for their grandchildren. Through the utilization of biophillic design and inspiration from their surroundings, the home is a calming space that encourages family time, rest, and the feeling of nature.
