A Private Residence at Marabou
Planned to be this great client's primary residence, the home consists of the quintessential ranch house layout - primarily single story living spaces - spread wide to capture stunning westerly views - and open in its plan. With twists of modernity subtly included, the home clearly embodies the warmth, material, texture and color of true Colorado living at its best.

A Private Residence at the ArraBelle at Vail Square
This high-end condominium, in the same Bavaria-inspired complex that the NAKA principals designed in total for VRDC while at their previous firm, was a contemporary adaptation of mountain design and was smartly executed for a pair of successful Chicago-based physicians. The colors are strong and dynamic; the textures are modern yet warm; and the furniture and fabrics utilize traditional references while standing proudly as recognizable elements of the most current of styles.
