Big Wood River

Emulating clusters of buildings that once formed neighboring farms and ranches, you move through a series of breezeways that alternate between open-air and glass-enclosed, each branching out from the heart of the home.

The living spaces are casually arranged to encircle a courtyard facing the Boulder Mountains and a terrace overlooking the river. The views create a relaxing atmosphere that envelops the entire property.

Locally-sourced stone reappears throughout, with muted greens and grays evoking springtime in the valley. Materials naturally patina year after year, reinforcing the connection to the landscape.

Rugged concrete walls match the color of the sand, which shifts in tone and texture as the sun moves overhead. The infinity pool, finished in dark plaster, flawlessly reflects the sky above.
