A warm golden light fills this Alpine home in the same way it filters through the Aspen trees. Sitting low and expansive on the land, there is a transparency that connects you to the landscape and forest beyond.

Trees step down along an outdoor staircase, inviting you to move into a sunken courtyard that offers light and greenery into the lower living spaces. By carving into the earth, a deceptively expansive program maintains a modest sense of scale.

You flow from space to space easily, without the need to open or close any doors. Intersecting blade walls choreograph the movement while seamless panels conceal rooms not in use, allowing the home to naturally adapt to its inhabitants.

In the spa room, stone is made to feel like water. And in the primary bathroom, rhythmic vertical patterns echo layered tree trunks of the forest. A commissioned sculpture continues this theme with a design that evokes a cross section of Aspen wood as seen under a microscope.
