mountain star residence 1
Avon, Colorad
The architecture of this house follows the simple design philosophy of the Mountain Star Community which states that “the built environment should be sensitively designed to integrate with the natural beauty of the area and create a subtle presence in the landscape”.
Located on a steeply sloping site amongst a maturing glade of aspen, this residence commands magnificent views of the distant Sawatch Mountain Range of Colorado. Using a simple theme of roof forms and a series of elevated native stone terraces tie the house to its natural setting and topography.
An efficient floor plan accommodates a variety of useful rooms including a state of the art home theater, an exercise/spa facility, wine display and storage, a study/library, a hearth room, and even a golf simulator room! Exterior terraces with their warming gas fire pits create intimate family gathering areas surrounding much of the house. A highly detailed finish package of premium grade walnut millwork compliments the unique tile and granite selections making for a comfortable interior feel throughout the entire house. Using the latest Phone and Savant technologies, all mechanical, power and lighting equipment as well as the advanced audio visual systems can be remotely controlled making this a truly unique residence.
