Project information

Located on a small, narrow, “unbuildable” corner parcel, the owners requested a contemporary mountain home design to gain a variance approval to allow the home to be built. Inspired by San Francisco urban loft living and clad in extruded metal to protect against the snow filled winters, the home was designed for a growing young family.
