The design of this private residence is heavily influenced by the site. Located on 12 acres of quiet ranchland and adjacent to the buff-colored stone canyon bluffs directly east of Boulder, the plan was driven by the mature cottonwood, elm, and spruce trees. It is organized in 3 wings, connected to each other and hinged by public spaces and courtyards. In contrast to many Colorado homes, the orientation of the home is not about distant views, but directing energy inward and creating a peaceful intimacy within the site itself.
