A Private Residence at Maytag Mountain Ranch - Hillside, CO
The planning of this classically "ranch-style" 4800 s.f. house reacts predominantly to the wishes of the New Orleans-transplanted clients to feel the joy of the Colorado outdoors and the security of their mountain view. On a plane of sod within the active Maytag Ranch, this home offers spectacular skies, quite terraces and is based partly upon vestiges of old ranch structures (in particular, a series of colonnaded organizing elements derived from a "log-henge", a series of ancient-ruin/posts still standing on site along the seasonal stream) The home takes advantage of its setting, its views and the intense sunlight, while offering flexibility, privacy and hospitality to the extended family and the clients themselves. Perpendicular axis delineate function and form and establish an entry condition that welcomes the guest into the heart of the home and warmth of the hearth.
