Architecture of Summeraugust2011
estern architects, designers and homeowners are always finding creative ways to blur theboundaries between indoors and out. Sometimes the barriers are literal, like the walls of glass in a Boulder, Colorado, home (on page 114) that slide open to connect almost every living spacewith an adjacent porch or patio. Other times, the connections between manmade and naturalenvironments are more subtle. In Jackson, Wyoming, architects Tom Ward and Mitch Blake usesod roofs to “bring architecture into a dialogue with the land” (see page 66).
There’s an art to letting the outdoors in when you want it—and keeping it out when youdon’t—and many of the striking architectural details you’ll see in this issue were designed to do
just that. You’ll find a beautiful example on page 128, in a home on a windswept meadow in the shadow of theTeton Range, designed by Wyoming architect Eric Logan. Here, roofs tilt upward to capture views and daylightwhile broad overhangs taper to thin brims that protect the trio of buildings from harsh weather. Even the structures themselves were positioned to wrap around a south-facing courtyard, creating a warm refuge foroutdoor living during Wyoming’s short summers.
The architecture of summer—those homes that celebrate a life lived outdoors—isn’t about making a bigstatement. It’s about creating a backdrop from which to experience the landscape. Here in the high country,that landscape is pretty extraordinary, and we shouldn’t have to turn our backs on it when we’re in our homes.
Best wishes,

Executive Committee, I work to help our members take advantage of the opportunities that HBA membership offers. Your membership includes a listing in Mountain Builder magazine as well as a subscription to NAHB’s Builder Magazine and discounts at the International Builders Show and other valuable trade shows. Membership in your local HBA also includes membership to the Colorado Association of Home Builders (CAHB) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). NAHB has played the role as “Consumer Guardian” since 1942, setting the standard for professional ethics, the latest building techniques, and professional resources for the building community. Now is the right time to become involved in your local Home Builders Association! I look forward to hearing from you and to getting to know you as a member of this prestigious professional organization.
Sue Hibbs
On behalf of Mountain to Mesa Home Builders Association (M2M), we are pleased to be a part of bringing you the 2011 Roaring Fork Valley Parade of Homes and Home and Garden Show. It is through our partnerships with organizations like Mountain Living magazine that we are able to meet M2M’s goals of bringing exposure, advoca-cy, and education to the individuals in our industry that make Aspen to Parachute their home. M2M is focused on meeting the needs of all disciplines involved in home building in our territory (Aspen to Parachute). Whether it is monitoring legislation that will affect us, and advocating our collective positions, or providing “Green Building” classes
through our partnership with Colorado Mountain College, we continually strive to ask our members what is missing, and then look to fi ll the gaps. Our affi liation with the National Association of Home Builders and the Colorado Association of Home Build-ers, provides our members with multiple advantages including the ability to access discounted insurance rates. On December 2nd, we are holding our third annual GreenThink Symposium. This all started with asking ourselves, what education is missing locally for our builders, architects and subcontractors on sustainable building. GreenThink 2011 will again focus on the technology, legislation, and fi nances of build-ing green. The home building industry has changed in the past few years. It is more competitive, skilled labor is harder to come by, and our customers continue to be more educated and demanding. I urge you to join us and our available local networks that are working to support you and your success.
Sincerely,
Randell Johnson, AIAMountain to Mesa Home Builders Association President

Mountain to Mesa Home Builders Asso-ciation (M2M) is pleased to present the 1st Annual Roaring Fork Valley Parade of Homes and
Home and Garden Show. M2M’s Parade objective is twofold: (1) evaluate the crafts-manship of homes on tour by an unbiased panel of judges from outside the territory who do not have a special interest or conflict on any home the judges are assessing; and (2) celebrate the craftsmanship with a first class media sponsor who understands the unique attributes of mountain building. The Home and Garden Show provides an opportunity to showcase unique building products, crafts, and other exhibits of inter-est. The HGS is geared for homeowners and trade professionals and, thanks to the Town of Snowmass, there is fun for all ages at the Discovery Center adjacent to the show.
Judges were recruited from around the State of Colorado who are builder/professional trade members from the Board of Directors of the Colorado Association of Home Build-ers (CAHB). M2M derives its charter from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and its members are part of CAHB and NAHB. NAHB has played a role as Con-sumer Guardian since 1942 setting the bench mark of professional standards. NAHB’s Home Builder Institute (HBI) is dedicated to advancing the quality of craft, education, and training programs bringing forward in-novation and new building technology to its members and the general public. Homes on tour will be judged on a variety of factors fo-cusing on craftsmanship, building standards, building systems, green building, building products, and other criteria.
M2M, through Merging Rivers Media, publishes Mountain Builder–Aspen and Vail edition–with its sister organization Eagle Valley Home Builders Association. In 2011 M2M and Merging Rivers Media forged a partnership with Mountain Living magazine. Mountain Living is a key partner in this year’s event. The reach Mountain Living provides professionals in our territory was a natural marriage for M2M’s high altitude building professionals. In 2011, distribution of Moun-tain Builder through Mountain Living and local M2M sources exceeded 60,000 copies.
We look forward to seeing you at the Home and Garden Show and on tour!

Some places reverberate with enchantment and magic. There is no question that the Roaring Fork Valley is one of them and you don’t need Harry Potter’s wand to experience it! I can’t begin to tell you how many residents and visitors to the area have told me, “I feel like I’ve come home.”
When it comes to being home, it’s a special pleasure for Mountain Living to be a part of the first annual Roaring Fork Valley Parade of Homes and Home & Garden Show. Aspen/Snowmass attracts cutting-edge architects, innovative builders, creative designers, realtors, and some of the world’s finest craftsmen whose goals are to create homes that epitomize luxurious comfort and functionality in both contemporary and traditional residences.
From recently completed homes to the well-established, each property participating in our private and public events celebrates what it is to live in this beautiful valley. Many are located for ski-in/ski-out convenience—always highly desirable—while others are focused on seclusion and privacy within our awe-inspiring landscape. You’ll see the latest in elegant materials and trends and discover fresh resources for custom artistry. All of these homes address the increasing importance of energy efficiency and sustainable practices. The exceptionally high caliber of creative imagination and experience among those related to our building industry leads to a high degree of competitiveness. The results benefit the community and the homeowner alike, raising the bar ever higher.
Aspen/Snowmass is a four-season destination. Anyone who visits quickly sees that it’s not just about skiing, hiking, wilderness adventure or spiritual solitude. It’s about all of those and so much
more. World-class shopping and dining, festivals, family fun, art and literature, paleontology, geology—and residents drawn from around the world—imbue the community with an unceasing and unique energy seldom found in one location.
I join with our partners to invite everyone to participate in an event sure to become a highlight of the annual summer season. Dream your way home. Step into the magic!

But beyond its world-class outdoor activities, ultra-fi ne dining and shopping, many fi nd a peace and serenity here long missing in the media-jammed chaos of the outside world. If you long for a sanctuary that can nurture your soul, this elegant contemporary home, fi lled with light, thoughtfully designed, and surrounded by award-winning landscaping will enchant you!
Key architectural features include over 200 linear feet of rammed-earth wall, vertical rusted panels, sandblasted masonry block, and zinc roofi ng. Divided into a public zone, private master wing, and a separate guest/children’s wing, careful attention to detail has created comfortable, welcoming living spaces. An artfully orchestrated mix of lighting sources subtly emphasizes the home’s architecture, furnishings, and landscape, while the materials palette combines earthen tones and textures to echo its natural surroundings. Alongside premium fi nishes and luxurious accoutrements, furnishings complement the bold architecture yet retain the warmth of a real home.
Walls of sliding-glass panels open to a private courtyard complete with the quiet grace of an invisible-edge, Asian-style pool. The meandering grounds, framed by a Bruno Romeda sculpture, invite you to stroll among wide expanses of lawn, huge arcs of fl owers, and almost 100 cottonwood, spruce, Austrian pine, and maple trees.
More than a home, this property’s special ambiance invites you to stay awhile, think about life’s big questions, connect with nature’s magnifi cent creations—or simply invite a crowd and party hearty.

INDEPENDENCE PASS RESIDENCE HOME 03 ASPEN
Tucked neatly into its gorgeous natural surroundings and shielded from the highway, this unique, one-of-a-kind energy-effi cient home emerges from its setting to strike a signature silhouette against the sky. Its orientation, adjacent to a pond and with stunning views of forest and mountain peaks beyond, emphasizes the property’s environmental unity.
Considerable attention has been given to integrating the land’s natural features with those of the buildings to create inviting outdoor living spaces. Flagstone patios around existing rock outcroppings, two water features, a built-in BBQ and fi re pit, solid mahogany decking, glass rails, and well-designed lighting and sound generate welcome harmony.
Over the course of construction, a team of fi ne craftsmen coordinated sophisticated interior materials and fi nish work.

A spiral staircase with glass treads and rusted-steel frame fl oats upward and, throughout the house, luxurious detail reigns. The master suite is
the ultimate in comfort and design, with its bath showcasing a marble-slab shower and carved-stone bathtub, a fl agstone fl oor, and a three-sided fi replace open to the bedroom.
This property is not just a home, it is an experience. It is a roadmap for living beautifully while honoring your environment.

NOT ON TOUR
some things change and some things stay the same. As we host the very first Roaring Fork Valley Parade of Homes and Home & Garden Show this summer, we’re reminded that the same majestic natural beauty that has existed since prehistoric times endures today. Millions of visitors attest that the year-round allure of Snowmass keeps them coming back for more. So much so that many vacationers chose to make their part-time home in Snowmass over the past forty years; as time goes on these same folks are transitioning to full time residents. There are many reasons why the magic of Snowmass takes hold of so many, and we’re excited to share them with you during this very special weekend in July.
Mountain to Mesa Home Builder Association and Mountain Living magazine are partnering with us in Snowmass Tourism for the first annual Roaring Fork Valley Parade of Homes and Home & Garden Show. The event welcomes visitors and residents to tour some of the area’s most handsome residences – featuring new construction and artfully executed remodels – with both complimentary and special ticketed, chef-catered private tours.
Concurrent with the home tours, the Snowmass Mall will be the site of a free expo where architects, general contractors, product and service vendors of the building, home and garden industry will be on hand to share

their expertise and offerings. Snowmass was an early adopter of sustainable construction practices, and its local and regional contractors are some of the best “green” builders in the nation. As thought leaders in this specialized area of construction, Mountain to Mesa Home Builder Association teaches and promotes these progressive practices to its members. Every visitor to the Parade of Homes and Home & Garden Show will have an opportunity to learn more about sustainable building and homes that support this lifestyle.
With summer in full swing, there will be plenty more to enjoy in the Snowmass area July 15 through 17. From nature walks to single tracks, gondola rides to whitewater adventure, a free outdoor concert on July 14, a visit to historic Anderson Ranch Arts Center, the Treehouse Kids’ Adventure Center or a round of golf, there is a wealth of activities perfectly suited to your group or family. Our new Ice Age Discovery Center, next to Gene Taylor Sports on the Snowmass Mall, celebrates our now famous (and former) prehistoric residents: mastodons, mammoths , a giant sloth, ancient bison, deer, horses and even a camel. It’s why you’ll hear locals saying, “I Dig Snowmass.” Kids can visit this free and interactive venue during the Home & Garden Show and learn more about the Snowmass Ice Age dig site, the animals whose bones have been discovered, and the fascinating work of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science paleontologists.
The Parade of Homes and the Home & Garden Show celebrates quality, value, and enduring appeal, ideals that align perfectly with Snowmass. Please visit us during this fi rst-ever event in July to experience our amazing alpine setting, gracious homes and warm hospitality. Find out more at www.snowtourism.com.

If the Colorado Rockies are a glorious state of mind, then this modern two-level home, with its emphasis on select natural materials and a striking blend of design elements, reveals the heart of mountain living.
A rugged stone wall begins at the driveway, continues through the entryway and on into the rooms beyond—a warm invitation to embrace nature’s bounty indoors and out. The home’s main level is accessed via a dramatic stairway with tempered glass guard rail and brushed steel accents. Walls of windows frame majestic mountain peaks, forested wilderness, and four ski areas. The open fl oor plan fl ows gracefully beneath coffered ceilings and timbered arches, fl ickering fi replaces offer a cozy haven on cold winter days, and the gourmet kitchen provides ample space to mingle with guests while preparing meals. Custom cabinetry fi gures prominently in several rooms, artfully mixing fi gured anigre with walnut inlays and accents, fi gured eucalyptus, and alder. Extending the home’s sense of space and luminosity,
Art Deco glass, etched-glass master bath surrounds, and glass block and mirrors allow light to echo from room to room.
This is a property that opens itself to the joyful ambiance of the Snowmass/Aspen setting. It combines comfort and luxury with highly sought after elegance.

Sited in an unbeatable 9.52-acre setting, surrounded by national forest, Midnight Ridge is the ultimate recreational property. Hundreds of miles of trails, snow-capped mountain views, ski-in/ski-out convenience, abundant wildlife, and year-round access—what more could you ask of a King-of-the-Mountain luxury home? It’s all here, from the best of green and sustainable features and dramatic architecture to an airy, open interior embodying warmth, color, and comfort.
Construction of a one-of-a-kind property presents enormous challenges to master the demands of both a dramatic climate and the need for exceptional aesthetics.

Environmentally friendly technology and materials were employed at every step.

entertainment kitchen, and lounge areas, loft, southern deck, and terraced patio all invite your viewing pleasure. Interior fi nishes include stone and travertine masonry, cast concrete counters, heavy timber beams, and rich woods.

STORY BY NORMAN KOLPAS PHOTOGRAPHY BY DOUGLAS KAHN
ml | go green
A series of sod roofs step down a home’s sloping, grassy site in Jackson, Wyoming, giving way toviews of the Tetons in the distance. Although surrounding residences hewed to traditional Westernlodge style, this design by Ward + Blake Architects met the subdivision’s requirement of respecting the setting by using natural materials and blending the low-key structure into its environs.

UP ON THE ROOFSCAPEJackson architects Tom Ward and Mitch Blake link understated, modern homes to their surroundings through an updated take on a Western tradition: sod roofs
ML | www.mountainliving.com 67
68 ML | August 2011
A hundred and thirty years ago, as pioneers spread across the north-ern Great Plains and into the Rockies, those who settled on treeless land had few op-tions for building homes to shelter them from harsh winters and summer heat. But onematerial existed in abundance: sod.
With tightly knit root systems as deep as 8 feet, America’s native amber waves of graincould be easily cut with basic farm tools, then formed into sturdy blocks used to buildrudimentary walls that provided superb insulation. These sod houses were then toppedwith grasses that swayed in the wind. Affectionately called “soddies,” the dwellings soongave way to more permanent residences evoking the styles of settlers’ homelands. Butthey were fondly remembered for the cozy, if often grimy and damp, comfort they pro-vided, and sod has endured as a practical roofing material for some log cabins.
Beginning in the 1970s, sod roofs enjoyed a comeback as part of a larger eco-conscious architectural movement spurred partly by the fuel crisis of 1973-1974 andpartly by the growth of environmentalism. That revival led Tom Ward and Mitch Blake,both sons of the Rocky Mountain West, to begin exploring innovative ways to employsod roofs when they formed Ward + Blake Architects in Jackson Hole in 1996.
“Our desire,” explains Ward, “was to use sod roofs as a historic prototype that an-chors architecture visually to its site and surroundings.”
Adds Blake, “Advances in technology enabled us to make sod roofs happen in asmart way that eliminated the problems those early soddies had.” The result: beauti-ful, natural roofscapes that are moisture-proof, reduce water runoff, provide some en-ergy benefits during summer months (see sidebar, opposite), and sometimes evenprovide rooftop outdoor living areas.
“After the wet spring we’ve had [in Jackson] this year,” says Ward, “you wouldn’t be-lieve the lush, ripe-looking, knee-high grasses on some of the roofs we’ve planted. Inthe fall, they’ll go golden. These roofs add a dynamic component to the structure thatchanges with the seasons.” ●

ML | www.mountainliving.com 69
Contrary to popular belief, modernsod roofs don’t contribute much toHOME INSULATION. While they
offer some thermal mass properties,those designed by Ward + Blake are
just 8 to 12 inches thick and employ ablend of soil and perlite beads that’s30 percent lighter than ordinary soil,
so they don’t have significant thermalmass. They also must be isolated
from home heating systems, whichcould kill off grasses during winter.
During summer, the extra vegetationdoes reduce the overall ambient
temperature surrounding the structure.
For a leak-free sod roof, CAREFUL INSTALLATION
is essential. Before the sod is added,a waterproof membrane is laid down.Most problems result from impropercare in that process, such as micro-punctures from nails, tools or boots.
Planted with native grasses, sod roofsare LOW MAINTENANCE, requiringjust “an annual weed-whacking in thefall,” says Ward. For more color, they
can be sown annually with native wild-flowers. But, left to its own devices,
the roof will revert to native grass.
Depending on the environment and plants used, sod roofs may requiresome IRRIGATION, especially in
climates where perennial plants wouldneed a little water to help them getgoing come spring. Drip-irrigation
systems work just fine. And, clog-freedrains built into the roof can direct
irrigation and rainwater from the roofto landscaping surrounding the house.

Dwayne Harty is one of North America’s leading wildlife artists. The artist in residence at the
Murie Center in Grand Teton National Park and the Jackson Hole Art Association, with a
studio at the Community Center for the Arts of Jackson Hole in 2010, he has just completed
three years of wildlife fi eld studies from Wyoming to the Canadian north as part of the major
exhibition: “Yellowstone to Yukon: the Journey of Wildlife and Art” mounted in collaboration with
Jackson’s National Museum of Wildlife Art, the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies and the
Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative.
Dwayne is a gifted fi eld study painter who brings his plein air sketches made while horse-packing, hiking or rafting in the
wilderness back to his studio for the preparation of major paintings. He was formally trained at the Arts Student’s League
in New York City and mentored by three of the 20th century’s important wildlife artists: Bob Kuhn, Robert Lougheed and
Clarence Tillenius. He has a particular gift for capturing the subtle colors found in nature and the natural behaviors of
animals in all their moods. His ability to paint animals in their habitats has led to commissions to paint dioramas for several
major museums and park interpretive centers. Dwayne has the trained eye of a scholar and an impressionist’s touch, which
he developed by traveling to Europe to study the work of the great Bruno
Liljefors, and by following the footsteps and canvasses of North America’s
great wildlife artist Carl Rungius from Yellowstone to Yukon.

THE 19TH ANNUAL WESTERN DESIGN CONFERENCE EXHIBITION & SALE
will take place September 8 through 11 in Jackson Hole,
Wyoming, one of the nation’s largest traditional art markets.
The juried show features 100+ artists who have successfully
competed for invitations to showcase their works. These
talented artists and craftspeople bring unique qualities and
interpretations to Western design, creating original and
innovative pieces of functional art that are not mass-produced.
This type of work is valued by collectors and designers
worldwide, many of whom will attend the conference.
“The artists, artisans and designers chosen to
participate in the Western Design Conference
truly are the best in their fi eld, whether they work
in wood, metal, fabric or another medium,” says
conference director Nancy McCullough-McCoy.
The Western Design Conference will continue
its tradition of providing artisans, exhibitors and
patrons an unparalleled experience in Jackson
Hole. Hosted by Teton Home and Living magazine,
the conference brings together craftspeople,
collectors, interior designers, architects and
fashion designers who share a passion for the West. A series
of lectures takes place on Thursday, September 8.
The conference’s Exhibition and Sale showcases contemp-
orary crafts that highlight artistic Western traditions, including
such infl uences as Adirondack, Rustic, Lodge, Asian, Hispanic,
Southwestern, Native American and Modern. All artists selected
for the show will exhibit their work in a gallery-style pedestal
display. All pieces displayed are handmade in the United
States or Canada (mass-produced or imported items do not
qualify for the juried show).

According to Allison Merritt, the Western Design Conference event manager, “The energy building up in
anticipation of this nationally recognized event is invigorating to all involved, but it especially excites the
artists who work all year to create a one-of-a-kind piece to display.” Merritt says that a brightly colored pair of
handmade cowboy boots, a book-matched maple coff ee table, and a handcrafted wrought-iron garden bench
are a few of the creations currently in the works to be shown this fall in the Pavilion at Snow King Resort. “I’ve
received countless calls from artists telling me that not only are
they extremely happy to have made it through the jury process,
but now they’re working on a piece to win Best in Show. This is
really going to be a great exhibit and sale.”
The conference and exhibition will take place at the Pavilion at
Snow King Resort from September 9 through 11. The always-
popular Western Design Conference Fashion Show lights up
the runway Thursday, September 8, at the Center for the Arts
in downtown Jackson. Kicking off the Gala Event will be a live
model Jewelry Show and country music entertainment. The
conference is a signature event of the 26th annual Jackson Hole
Fall Arts Festival, taking place September 8 through 18, 2011.
The Western Design Conference is produced in Jackson Hole
by Nancy McCullough-McCoy, publisher of Teton Home
and Living, Teton Valley Magazine, and A Grand Wedding
and Event Planner; and by Kevin Olson, associate publisher
of Jackson Hole News & Guide, Jackson Hole Daily, Jackson

A cornerstone of the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival, the
National Museum of Wildlife Art’s 24th annual Western
Visions® brings over 1,000 works by top contemporary
artists and artisans together each September. A month-
long cultural tourism draw to the Tetons in their autumn
glory, the 2011 Western Visions combines lectures, hands-
on demos and fabulous parties and the opportunity to
view and purchase the best of Western contemporary art
in a wide variety of mediums, including painting, sculpture,
jewelry and more, August 20 – September 28. This
year’s featured artists, Daniel Smith and Bart Walter, will
be on hand to share their different yet equally passionate
approaches to wildlife art in several special events.
“One of the most rewarding and inspiring elements of
my job is the fi eldwork,” says Montana painter Daniel
Smith, whose work appears in a number of museums,
including the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and
Western Art, where he had a one-man show. Smith is
sometimes categorized as a “photo-realist” for his lifelike
depictions of wildlife studied in the fi eld from Africa to
his own backyard. Similarly, Maryland sculptor Bart Walter
travels extensively to pursue honest interpretations of his
subjects. Offering a unique and dynamic approach to
surface, Walter’s artwork, currently featured in Southwest
Art magazine and the subject of multiple solo exhibitions,
captures the energy and spontaneity of direct experience.
Scheduled events for the 2011 Western Visions include
the Sketch Show & Sale and Original Prints Show &
Sale, August 20 – September 25; the Jewelry and
Artisan Luncheon, September 14; the 24th Annual
Wild West Artist Party, September 15; and the 24th
Annual Miniatures and More Show & Sale, September
16. A coffee-in-the-gallery Art A Brewin’ event on
September 28 allows a fi nal in-person chance to browse
works still available for sale. For a complete calendar
of events, visit wildlifeart.org or contact Jennifer Lee at
(307) 732-5412. An online catalog allows those who can’t
attend in person to participate in the Miniatures and
More Show & Sale auction with a “bid by proxy,” and also
provides bios, interviews with the artists, and photos of
the artists and their works.
A member of the Museums West consortium and
accredited by the American Association of Museums,

ABOVE: Family photographs adorn the buffet in the foyer just off the entryway. LEFT: For thekitchen, homeowner Charly Rotermund chose white and stained-wood cabinets and Carraramarble counters for a sophisticated look. The adjacent dining space features comfortable chairsand banquettes in a style Rotermund calls “upstate New York meets the mountains of Colorado.”
homeowner Charly Rotermund says of her family’s contemporary mountain dwelling situatedin a grove of aspens not far from the ski mountain in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. From theliving room, views stretch to the southeast, through the trees and over a creek that flows inspring and summer, toward the mountain. In the kitchen, two-story windows frame views ofa large ridge. And behind the freestanding bathtub in the master bathroom, windows facenortheast toward the property’s in-ground swimming pool.
The home’s connection with its surroundings is no accident. Rather, it’s the result of care-ful planning on the part of Rotermund, her husband Scott, and architects Brandt Vander-bosch and Rob Nadolny, of Steamboat Springs-based Vertical Arts Architecture, whocollaborated closely with the homeowners to envision the 5,900-square-foot timber-framehome made of wood, stone and dramatic walls of glass.
The family fell in love with Steamboat Springs back in 2005, when the then-Denver resi-dents vacationed in the area. So they decided to purchase a 2.6-acre parcel of land in Steam-boat’s Elkin Meadows development—just a few minutes from the ski slopes and a short drivefrom town—and build their own mountain home. “When we found this piece of propertyhere in this meadow, we knew it would be a great place to raise our kids. It was a perfect fitfor us,” Rotermund says.
To create a home that celebrates its owners’ love for the mountains, the design team atVertical Arts made views a priority. Throughout the house, fine-mullioned windows and doorsfrom Hope’s Windows frame views of the landscape from every room. “The home is stunning,but the landscape is equally spectacular and we wanted to see it all,” Rotermund says. “Theonly thing separating us from the outdoors is these glass doors.”
The indoor-outdoor connection is strengthened by a continuity of building materials. “Theexterior patio’s bluestone floor flows into the home’s entryway and screened porch, and thesame material is used around the pool,” explains Vanderbosch, principal at Vertical Arts. >>
“When you walk through this house, it feels like you’re walking outside,”
110
“The whole idea was to blur the line between indoors and outdoors ... to have strong

The screened porch was a special request from the home-owners. “My husband is from Connecticut and I’m fromNew York; they’re really popular where we come from,”Rotermund says. Doors lead to the porch from the coveredexterior entry, the inside entryway and the covered patio, sotraffic flows smoothly when the Rotermunds entertain. Abuilt-in grill lets them barbecue outside year-round, andscreens on three sides let cross breezes blow through evenon the hottest days. “It’s really an extension of the house,”Rotermund says.
Between the porch, the pool, the patios and decks, andthe lawn on the south side of the house, the property offersplenty of opportunity for the family to get outdoors. “Wenever run out of places to go. In summer, we’re outside all thetime—we eat out there, play out there. We only come insideto sleep,” Rotermund laughs.
For the home’s interiors, Rotermund wanted to keep thingssophisticated. “I just don’t like that ‘rustic mountain’ look,”she admits. “I didn’t want the house to be out of place, but Iwanted it to have a modern flair.” The living spaces also had
to be kid-friendly. “It was built for the children, but we alsowanted it to be refined,” says Rotermund. “We didn’t want afussy house where they felt they couldn’t go in certain rooms.”
Working with Steamboat Springs-based designer KimRomick, of Romick’s Into the West, Rotermund chose fur-nishings and finishes that are comfortable yet elegant. Forthe kitchen, she selected honed white Carrara marbleslabs for the countertops, polished marble subway tile forthe backsplash, all-white Shaker-style cabinets, andespresso-stained wood for the base of the center island.Floors throughout are wide-plank stained walnut. The ad-jacent dining space features comfortable chairs and ban-quettes in a style Rotermund calls “upstate New Yorkmeets the mountains of Colorado.”
“It’s eclectic,” Rotermund says of the mix. “The RalphLauren fabric on the banquettes feels a little bit coastal,and the leather wing chairs are a little bit Western—butstill sophisticated. Each space in the house has a strongmountain feel, but it’s also a reflection of our personal-ity: a little more refined, but still casual.” ●

WHERE THE PLAINS MEET THE FOOTHILLS OF BOULDER,COLORADO, ARCHITECT E.J. MEADE DESIGNS A MODERN
DWELLING IN CONCERT WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS
“The design was conceived as a threshold between the city and the mountain meadow,” architectE.J. Meade says of the LEED Gold-certified house. The dining area offers unobstructed views of theFlatirons beyond. The 11-foot ceiling height was dictated by Meade’s determination to preserve theridge view throughout the main floor. FACING PAGE: The homeowner’s favorite spot on the property was preserved as an undisturbed grassy area above the patio. A splayed railing around thesecond-story master bedroom deck acts as a backrest for a bench that wraps the perimeter walls.

TOP RIGHT: The morn-ing garden provides additional outdoor dining directly outside the kitchen. The glass walls retract, allowing the countertop to be utilized as apass-through from the kitchen. FACING PAGE: A pair of narrow but high-functioning steel columns provide unobtrusive support and appear to be grounded in a small pool with a water feature. “The waterfall brings humidity to the microclimate of the patio area,” Meade says.
a couple from Boulder, Colorado, invitedseveral members from one of the front-running firms to visit the site. As the group settled for a picnic on a patch of lawn facing theFlatirons, the homeowner remarked, “This happens to be my favorite spot on the whole property.”
“Then this is where we should not build the house,” replied architect E.J. Meade, principal of Boulder-based Arch11, Inc. Of thisunexpected response, Meade explains, “I believe we should all have the restraint to preserve the best places.”
The architect’s design philosophy resonated with his prospective clients. “We felt like we really communicated,” the homeowner says.“From that point on, Arch11 worked collaboratively with us and always treated us like part of the team.”
Despite its great views and location, the lot presented numerous challenges: an irregular, triangular shape, strict height restrictionsfrom the city of Boulder, several easements, and a wetlands buffer zone and solar shadow restrictions that had to be respected. SoMeade and his team created a computer model of the available envelope, taking the physical and regulatory limitations of the site intoaccount. With the space mapped out, they began honing the design of the house.
“The homeowners love the outdoors, and they wanted a gateway between their town life and the mountains,” Meade says. “Ini-tially, we talked more about the rituals of their life than about specific building features, because I wanted their house to foster theway they live day to day.”
After an old, unsalvageable A-frame that sat on the site was dismantled, Boulder builder Hammerwell, Inc. began constructing thenew home. “The process was technically complex,” Meade says. “The structure is a series of steel frames designed to withstand 160-mph winds. Unlike wood, you can’t shave steel down by a quarter inch if a measurement is off, so everything had to be precisely >>

GREEN BY DESIGNAlthough Meade applied for LEED certification almost as anafterthought, the building earned the coveted Gold status.Here, he highlights the home’s cutting-edge features:
SEAL IT UP “Sustainability starts with the envelope,”says Meade, who specified renewable-based Icynenespray-foam insulation throughout the home. “It lendsstructural capability to walls, prevents condensation, elim-inates mold and deadens sound.” The thin, high-perform-ing roof is composed of structural insulated panels.
SEE THE LIGHT “We utilized some of the highest-performing glass coatings on the market,” Meade says ofthe large expanses of windows throughout the home.West-facing windows were glazed to prevent the homefrom overheating in summer, while south-facing windowswere glazed to allow solar heat gain during winter.
DIG DEEP A ground-loop heat-exchange system with seven300-foot wells taps into the constant temperature of theearth for heating, cooling and hot water. A solar photovoltaicroof system drives the pump and generates electricity.
BREATHE IN Because this is such an airtight house, an energy recovery ventilator with multiple zones exchangesindoor air with fresh outdoor air.
GET SMART A smart house-control system ties every-thing together, allowing the homeowners to programand manage the home’s systems via computer—even remotely, if necessary.

“The box is broken,” Meade says of the home’s main floor living area corner, where two slidingglass walls can be pushed away to completely open the space to the outdoors. The floors arehoned bluestone. FACING PAGE: “The choice of stone was easy, because limestone is the home-owner’s favorite rock to climb on,” Meade says of the staircase, which he describes as “a seriesof solids floating in space.” The handrail appears to float above the transparent glass balustrades.
“A home should last forcenturies, not decades.Buildings that are truly sustainable are also durable andlong-lasting.” — E.J. Meade
“The kitchen is command central,” Meade says of thestreamlined space, which features American Walnut cabinetry, high-tech appliances and a center island toppedwith a thick slab of Carrara marble. The aluminum- andglass-faced cabinets retract to reveal an appliance garagethat helps keep counter surfaces uncluttered.
“Sustainability is implicit in what we do.We don’t describe ourselves as green architects any morethan we call ourselvesstructural architects.”

shop-fabricated and erected on the site.” The site’s proximity to the mountains added an additional challenge when the excavation crewencountered boulders “the size of a pickup truck,” according to Meade. “The project required extraordinary attention to sequencing.”
The finished 4,500-square-foot home is grounded by a spacious two-story living area with abundant windows that connect thehome to its natural setting. “We wanted to weave the inside with the outside by placing windows facing the views in as many areasas possible,” Meade says. “The high-performing roof allowed us to bring the glass right up to the ceiling.”
The clean-lined kitchen—which has since won several major design awards—was configured so that the homeowners can alwayssee the mountain ridgeline. A receding glass wall allows the room to open to—and the countertop to serve as an outdoor bar for—the adjacent open patio. “I love this corner of the house, where there’s so little distinction between inside and outside,” the home-owner says. “We have so many fine days here in Colorado, and we leave the windows and doors open every day we possibly can.”
Leading up to the bedrooms, a sculptural steel-and-glass staircase features sustainable jarrah wood treads harkening to the hus-band’s Australian roots, while the Texas limestone wall is a nod to the wife’s passion for rock climbing. Retractable glass walls inthe master bedroom embrace the sweeping landscape.
A green roof planted with native grasses and wildflowers tops the garage, visually connecting it with the mountain meadow behind the house. And near the patio, the original grassy plain that the homeowner loved has been left untouched. “This house isso perfectly sited, we don’t even see the neighboring homes when we’re in the living spaces,” she says. “It’s amazing to live life everyday with this connection to nature.” ●

LEFT: Sandston designed a large French-inspired table to use as the back terrace’s center-piece. “It’s at a height where it can be a buffet for entertaining,” she says, “and I also use itto create vignettes that we change seasonally.” The compositions might feature the owner’sBauer pottery in the summer or giant aspens during the holidays.
The landscape here is so big and so prominent,” says Linda Iverson, a landscape designerknown for the varied terrains she has crafted with her signature light hand all across the BigSky state. “No two projects are ever the same because of the diverse settings,” she says. Butone project in particular stands out as a departure.
When working for a family in Bozeman, Montana, Iverson was presented with a river-bottom property with ample water, a wide-open meadow and a dense grove of aspens. Herfirst thought was to create a meadow of native woodland plantings, but the client wantedsomething more sophisticated. “It was a wonderful chance to go beyond what I wouldnormally do,” she says.
Responding to her client’s wish for an elegant landscape that would offer brilliantblooms and cut flowers, Iverson created what she calls a “Montana cottage garden.” Shelooked to the colors and textures in the surrounding meadow as a starting point andbrought in a mix of natives and ornamentals—including billowy flowers like peonies andhydrangeas, not often associated with Montana’s rustic setting. “I wanted the landscape toblend into the setting, but I also wanted to give it an artistic feel,” she explains.
The clients’ residence provided additional inspiration. Designed by architect LarryPearson of Pearson Design Group, the rustic structure, built from Montana moss rock andreclaimed barn wood, “is not a house you want to cover up,” says Iverson. “It’s a houseyou want to accent.”
To complement the weathered materials of the home’s exterior, Iverson planted flowingbeds around it, separated by lawns of soft fescue grass. “We wanted to echo the stone on thehouse,” she says, “so we used the same stone periodically throughout the garden’s edges.”
As for the selection of plants, the choices were driven by the drastic seasonal shifts. “I’mvery attentive to how a garden goes through the seasons,” says Iverson, who relied on redtwig dogwoods, aspens and evergreens to stand up to the thick snow cover of winter andplanted woodland bulbs to “help you wake up” in early spring. Summer’s white echinaceaand tufted hairgrass make way for the riotous colors of autumn and its black-eyed Susansand woods blue aster. “This garden has a long season of blooming interest,” she notes.
While flowering beds and spiky grasses mark the front of the property, the back of the house,sheltered by the aspen grove, provides the perfect spot for an outdoor living space. Iverson col-laborated with Pearson on designing a flagstone terrace and low stone wall to define the area,and interior designer Stephanie Sandston, of Shack Up Studio, added the last layer.
“I wanted to bring in some fanciful sculptural elements,” says Sandston, who createdtwo distinct areas for gathering. An oversized marble-and-mahogany table, based on aFrench garden design from the 1600s, serves as a buffet for entertaining and provides a set-ting for Sandston’s seasonal decorative vignettes. Tucked into a curve of the stone wall, aconcrete faux-bois dining set is paired with a modern rusted-steel Rais fireplace.
“Both of the tables are outside year-round,” says Sandston. “Apart from being reallyuseful, they’re also sculptural elements, which is very important in the dead of winter.They’re both pleasing and highly functional. It doesn’t get better than that.” ●
“You can’t help but be inspired by the natural world when you’re in Montana.
126
WHEN IN BLOOM“You’re able to do things in Bozeman that you can’t do in other parts of Montana,”Linda Iverson says of the city’s unique microclimate. “It gets more rain and has won-derful soil.” Iverson took advantage of these attributes—along with the client’s elegantvision—and used her go-to native plantings alongside ornamental species not oftenfound in her landscapes. “I love natives and didn’t want the landscape to feel like it wassomewhere else,” she explains, “but I also used a lot of ornamentals. We were able tostretch our boundaries.” Here, Iverson shares her top three plants from each category:
NATIVESPRAIRIE SMOKE (Geum triflorum) One of the first flowers to bloom; soft, wispyseed-heads give this plant a long season of in-terest. We paired it with the ornamentals salva‘May Night’ and white creeping phlox.
PRAIRIE DROPSEED (Sporobolus heterolepis)This plant is slow to green up in the spring buthas a wonderful soft texture for most of theseason. Even though it’s a prairie grass, itseems to tolerate rich garden conditions.
BUSH CLEMATIS (Clematis integrifolia) We planted these velvety blue-violet noddingflowers near the aspens along with columbinesand globeflower.
ORNAMENTALSSIBERIAN IRIS ‘Caesars Brother’ (Iris sibirica) Its strong vertical foliage is maintained throughout the season, and we paired it with golden thyme for contrast and good “footing.”
PEONY ‘Couronne d’Or’ (Paeonia ‘Couronne d’Or’) It has an exceptional fragrance and billowy white flowers. The perfect cut flower.
SPIREA ‘Halward’s Silver’ (Spiraea nipponica) A great shrub for low-light areas of the garden. The fine-textured foliage makes a great backdrop for big-leaf geraniums.

HOME NODS TO TRADITION, EMBRACES

t the base of Teton Pass in Wilson, Wyoming, architect Eric Logan found a unique challenge: design ahome that marries traditional forms with a modern vibe and transforms Wyoming’s intense (if fickle) sunshineinto a pleasant houseguest.
The homeowners, a couple with three children, live in Wilson year-round; there would be no escaping toless capricious climes. “They were interested in light and bright spaces, and a simple materials palette,” saysLogan, principal of Carney Logan Burke Architects in Jackson. “And they wanted something less traditional”than Jackson’s prevailing architecture.
But the neighborhood’s relatively conservative design guidelines meant that Logan would need to get cre-ative. First, he sited the home on an east-west axis on the 3.5-acre property to capture the most warmth andlight from the sun. Then he and his team created a plan to divide the 6,500-square-foot home into three dif-ferent building forms. In the center stands a one-story living pavilion topped by a broad roofline. This airyspace is flanked by a pair of two-story “pods” with gabled rooflines set perpendicular to one another. One podcontains the children’s bedrooms, with the garage, mudroom and a wine storage space below them. In theother, the master suite tops guest quarters and a media room. The three forms surround an intimate, south-facing courtyard, ideal for dining al fresco.
The strategy delivered a design victory: The front of the home suits the neighborhood’s traditional bent, whilethe back satisfies the owners’ desire for a modern pedigree. Plus, “it allowed us to create narrower building formsthat can deliver natural light and cross-ventilation more easily than a thick building would,” Logan says.
The design also considers Wyoming’s wily weather, says landscape designer Mark Hershberger, principal of Jack-son-based Hershberger Design. “We looked at the entire perimeter of the building and designed for outdoor livingin different places at different times of day,” he explains. For example, when the sun is beating down on the south-facing courtyard, the family can lounge in the outdoor seating area on the north side. Hershberger’s team also foundspaces for a shade garden, a kitchen garden, and even an expanse of bluegrass lawn for the children to play on. >>
“We deliberately set the built-ins off visually as objects,” architect Eric Logansays of the kitchen cabinets. Made of sapele wood, they contrast pleas-antly with the light hickory floor. FACING PAGE, FROM LEFT: The living roomis anchored by a cast-in-place fireplace chimney. Many of the room’s windows and doors open to the expansive west-facing outdoor space. Thesculptural, open-riser staircase “was an opportunity to make somethingbeautiful,” Logan says. “It becomes a lantern that filters light all day long.”

“Think about how you will live on the site, and incorporate the landscape into the plans from the very beginning. You’ll feel the connection to the outdoors much more naturally that way.”

ABOVE, FROM LEFT: An heirloom kimono feels less like a showpiece and more like a part of the home’s architecture thanksto a thoughtfully designed display area between the entry and living spaces. Architect Eric Logan tipped his hat to traditionalarchitectural forms with the home’s gabled roofs, but his interpretation is playful: Notice the off-center ridge and slightlylonger overhang on the right. The east-west axis and abundant glass help the home capture natural light and warmth.
Pare It Down: The Secret to a Perfect PaletteTo achieve a sophisticated, warm design, challenge yourself to limit your materials palette. “A little bit of everything never works,” Logan says. Here, a guide to the prevailing materials in this home:
CEDAR SIDING If you just can’t commit to one exterior material, take a cue from this home and choose two types of sidingmade of the same material in the same stain. The difference is in the width and profile of the boards, giving subtle texture.
CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE Choose one or two bold exterior elements (such as the cast-in-concrete chimney here)rather than many smaller ones. Concrete can add a strong, modern element, especially if you’ve chosen a more traditionalexterior material, such as wood, as the predominant material.
INTERIOR WOODS The kitchen cabinets and the shoji-inspired screen by the interior staircase were made from sapele,which is similar to (but more durable than) mahogany. The floor and stair treads are hickory; the ceiling, hemlock. By carefully editing the wood palette, Logan brought unity to the home’s interior spaces.
GLASS Some of the larger panes of glass in this home don’t open. “They’re more abstract; they’re about the views and the light,” Logan says. Not all windows have to be operable, as long as the design allows for plenty of cross-ventilation.

But the most spectacular of the outdoor spaces is an extension of the home’s living room. The “aircraft-carrier-esque” roofline from the home’s central pavilion stretches west, toward a pond and wetlands on theproperty’s edge. The sitting area beneath is an ideal spot for viewing the wildlife attracted by the water. “Sittingthere is all about the views and big, open spaces,” Logan says.
Inside, the home responds to a view of a different sort: an heirloom kimono given to the homeowner by herfather. “We had to place the kimono carefully; it needed to be prominent without becoming a trophy, like a buf-falo head over the fireplace,” Logan explains. They chose a display area between the entry and the living spaces.“The kimono certainly influenced our thoughts during the development of the home’s interiors,” he adds.
The interpretation is hardly literal. For example, the open-riser staircase off the entry is paired with a shoji-inspired wooden screen. “We mirrored the materials palette used throughout the house and created a light,open staircase because the adjacent windows face south,” Logan says. The result is a horizontal pattern of lightthat plays on the stairs and floor below, changing as the sun moves.
The horizontal glass forms in the front entry echo this pattern. “The entry—with the kimono and the glassand the staircase—is where you get dipped in the home’s identity,” Logan says.
In the kitchen, the design team created a light, almost porous feel by setting the cabinets off as objects—what Logan calls “individual floating components”—instead of lining the walls with them. A frosted-glass cabinet floats over the kitchen island, hinting at the horizontal elements in other rooms, while the vertical grainof the sapele wood cabinets gives subtle contrast.
The remaining elements are simple: smooth white plaster walls with matching baseboard to hide the mill-work. Where it’s not plaster, the ceiling is covered in hemlock planks; the floor, in hickory. “When you choosea refined take on materials, the effect is timeless,” Logan says. “This home isn’t intended to be trendy or categorized in a style.” Just don’t tell the neighbors. ●
“Our refined take on the materials palette was an attempt to achieve timelessness. The design should feel relevant today—and in the future.”
—Eric Logan
A spiral steel staircase leads from the children’s bedrooms to the intimate,south-facing courtyard. “It’s a sculptural piece that we designed to be seenfrom the courtyard and from within the house,” Logan says. FACING PAGE,FROM LEFT: The home’s interior palette—from finishes to furnishings—is warmand neutral, so as not to compete with the verdant views outside. The masterbath’s floating vanity is made of the same FSC-certified sapele wood as thekitchen cabinets. The tile is from Sausalito, Calif.-based Heath Ceramics.

After the plaster sets, a burnish-ing process can reveal several different shades and results in the appearance of polished stone. This Old World look, with its subtle pits and etchings, adds character and a textured backdrop, particularly suitable for this mountain residence.

IRRESISTIBLE DETAILS Where the mountains meet the ocean in West Vancouver, British Columbia—one of the most up-scale communities in all of Canada—is a private enclave called Seaside Place. Within this exclusive collection of 13 homes,all of which sit at water’s edge, is a sleek dwelling conceived by award-winning architect Paul Merrick. His design for this 3,430-square-foot, two-bedroom, West Coast contemporary-style dwelling is faithful to the home’s context. Glass walls and multi-level patios call attention to the ocean views, while an exposed natural rock outcropping forms an interior wall, hugging hometo land. And a refined palette of natural finishes—from first-growth end-grain fir to copper, honed granite and natural stone—complements the beauty outdoors. But these earthy touches hardly eclipse the home’s creature comforts: seven fireplaces, atwo-story media room, gourmet kitchen and a luxurious seaside master suite with spa-like bath round out the residence. ●
