Super-Insulated Building Envelopes
Vail, Colorado
6,280 sqft
A private enclave just steps from the slopes of Vail, the exterior of this three-level home features natural stone veneer with mortar smear finish, wire-brushed cedar siding and exposed reclaimed timbers. Ensconced by trees, the rear of the home includes two levels of heated stone terrace with a blackened stainless steel water feature, spa and custom cut stone firepit. An improved natural stream with waterfalls and moss rock boulders cascades through the property, providing tranquil ambient sound. Floor-to-ceiling doors throughout the home have concealed frames and hinges, with magnetic latch and door stops for a seamless design and silent operation.
FIVE TREES RETREAT
Aspen, Colorado
11,966 sqft
Set on a heavily wooded, steep slope site adjacent to the Aspen Highlands ski easement, Five Trees is a modern, three-story, lodge-style family retreat. The site work included an extensive earth retention system, a motor court over living space and a large terrace with extensive view from the pool and spa. The interior of the home is built around the living and kitchen areas which showcase the surrounding mountain views.
From the start of the project until the conclusion, RA Nelson provided excellent communication and transparency, asked questions when appropriate, and demonstrated attention to detail, quality and safety. It was a pleasure working with RA Nelson and we would highly recommend them to anyone interested in building a home in Aspen.
