Bainbridge, WA
Perched on a ridge with commanding views of the Roaring Fork Valley and a breathtaking panorama of Rocky Mountain peaks, the Roaring Fork Residence is strategically situated along the ridgeline. This location, where the wind subsides, and sagebrush transitions to scrub oak, orchestrates experiences that immerse inhabitants in both the intimate details of the landscape and the vast expanses beyond. At the northern terminus of the home's axis, a sauna and spa seamlessly integrate into a natural stone outcropping.
The primary outdoor spaces align with the natural grade, establishing a harmonious connection with the surroundings. In contrast, the Primary Bedroom wing and a Private Office elevate gracefully as the topography descends. Each spatial relationship offers a distinct encounter with the site's varied landscape and sweeping views. The selection of materials is thoughtfully calibrated to harmonize with the earthy hues of the soil, sagebrush, and the bark of the oak trees.
