By KELLI HOLTZ
As the authority in color trend forecasting, Pantone has named “Radiant Orchid” the color for 2014. Subtle and soothing yet expressive and energetic, this color can enhance just about anything. Consider incorporating Radiant Orchid into a statement-making rug or piece of art. Or start on a smaller scale, accenting with a pillow or lamp. “While the 2013 color of the year, PANTONE 175641 Emerald, served as a symbol of growth, renewal and prosperity, Radiant Orchid reaches across the color wheel to intrigue the eye and spark the imagination,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “An invitation to innovation, Radiant Orchid encourages expanded creativity and originality, which is increasingly valued in today’s society. Maybe this is the year to be brave: Paint your bathroom, ceiling included! Just remember, no matter the application, surround yourself with this color. It emanates great joy, love and health — what could be better for 2014?
purple hearts Radiant Orchid is both sexy and soothing, especially when used for major accent pieces in the living space.

The forest's floor Wood floor trends are steering clear of dark and heavy; instead, they’re embracing the light By Shauna Farnell
T
There’s no question that when it comes to floors, wood is everyone’s first choice for its rich look and easy care. And not just any wood floor will do. The first priority for most buyers, according to the World Floor Covering Association, is authenticity. They don’t want Pergo or a laminate. They want something that is clearly hand-scraped with signs of natural distress.

VAIL VALLEY HOME | february 2014
They want something exotic. Owned by Swiss transplant Balz Arrigoni and his wife, Christina, who is from Austria, Arrigoni Woods specializes in such materials, importing dozens of raw and custom-finished varieties from all over Europe. Balz says that as far as trends go for local clients, the hardness and grade of wood are the top priorities. And they also favor
the wider-planked wood. Of course, sustainability and what’s involved in maintaining the floor’s beauty is a consideration. Factors such as where the floor is located — in the bathroom, where it might be subjected to large amounts of moisture, or in a bright kitchen and areas where it is hit by a lot of direct sunlight — are also taken into account. Reclaimed wood is hot right
now. Christina and Balz don’t simply offer it: They used it in their own home, too. “We have gone to barns to be torn down and salvaged wood to use as either structural pieces or decorative embellishments,” Christina says. “In our house, we did a lot of structural reclaimed woodwork on the outside. It never needs to be stained, because its been aged for hundreds of years.”

Dark and heavy woods used to be floor favorites, Balz says, but recently lighter woods have become the big trend. Then there’s the grade, which is determined by one-of-a-kind characteristics in the material such as knots and cracks. “In general it’s European oak with character, with a light

used in beams, cabinetry and even ceilings and walls. Of course, when there is this much wood throughout a home or business, there has to be some variety. “Generally, the natural tones of wood is the trend,” Balz says. “To offset colors, we try to offer a naturally darker wood with no stain or finish on the beams and ceiling treatment and then a fairly light floor.” Rather than creating variety with, say, a bamboo floor and cherry beams, Balz recommends using the same type of wood but with different textures: a brushed floor with perhaps a block-style wall and hacked beams. The main goal when using wood in construction is that it makes a space feel natural and comfortable. “The trend of rustic woods with a light finish is actually across the board,” Balz says, no pun intended. “Both in the city and the Vail Valley.” – Shauna Farnell

Tubs reinvented Aeration and art come together to give tubs new life
I
It’s not quite Prozac, but the latest hydrotherapy tubs on the market claim to improve serotonin levels through their release of negatively charged ions. And that’s not the only thing new in bathtubs. Just when you thought jetted tubs weren’t safe, due to possible mold and bacteria buildup in jet components, companies like Jacuzzi have introduced new, self-cleaning products

to increase sanitation. Plus, tubs have become more artistic and innovative.
Microbubble your way to happiness
Jason Hydrotherapy’s MicroSilk oxygenates water with microbubbles they say can enter pores to exfoliate and naturally moisturize skin. But even more mind blowing
is the effect these tiny bubbles may have on, actually, the mind. According to the company, MicroSilk’s dissolving microbubbles release anions at a concentration above 80,000 ions/cc, which has been shown to increase serotonin levels. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved in myriad processes, including sleep, learning, mood, endocrine regulation and wound healing. The rapid
bubbles also help neutralize free radicals, which have been associated with signs of aging. The microbubbles also retain heat by collapsing in the water, as opposed to floating to the top and releasing heat into the surrounding air. This provides consistent warmth, akin to a sauna effect, which improves circulation and the release of toxins. However, you will pay a pretty

penny for your serotonin in a tub; models range from about $3,000 to $9,000 and up. Other aeration bathtubs may be less expensive, but despite price, almost every tub that designers such as Chris Stevens, owner of Design Project Inc., install is an air tub.
Find the proper fit
Tubs come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, to fit nearly any bathroom — and body. Walk-in tubs make bathing experiences safer for people who have difficultly climbing in and out of a traditional tub. For example, Jacuzzi offers tubs with grab bars and a double-sealed door and magnetic latching system, which prevents leaks, even with the jets on full blast. These days, many homeowners opt for smaller tubs to conserve water, said Barbie Bright, owner of Bright Designs. “There was a period where everyone went to ginormous tubs where you’re using up (who knows) how much water,” she 24
VAIL VALLEY HOME | february 2014
said. “Now the concept is to stretch out but (conserve).” When choosing a tub, Stevens insists her clients visit a showroom and sit in it.
Six-inch-wide faucets create a tiny waterfall effect, while other types of faucets allow water to flow from the ceiling; the latter faucet can look like a 4-inch
“What we’re seeing more of is homeowners creating a water feature effect, whether it’s an infinity, faucets coming out of the wall or the ceiling,” “People have to be comfortable … and if they want two people in it, they have to make sure it physically fits them,” Stevens said.
Add water features
You’d think tubs couldn’t get much more watery than they already are, but as it turns out, they can. Kasch produces a line of infloor bathtubs that mirror infinity pools. A surrounding ring catches overflowing water from the tub, and then circulates it.
ceiling can light. “What we’re seeing more of is homeowners creating a water-feature effect, whether it’s an infinity, faucets coming out of the wall or the ceiling,” Bright said.
Finish with lights, scents, sound
In this technological age, bathing has become a multisensory experience. Chromotherapy, aromatherapy and music therapy are alternative health therapies that have made
there way into the bath. Green can restore a sense of balance in the rhythm of life, according to mr.steam’s website, while orange can suddenly create a sense of curiosity. Newer bathtubs feature digitally controlled LED lights, so you can play around with whatever color suits your fancy. Everyone knows that a specific scent can conjure an associated memory. For some, the smell of warm apple pie may soothe the spirit, for others, the scent of the ocean may calm nerves. And, you don’t even need a special bathtub to surround yourself in scent. Just add a few drops of aromatic oil, and sink into the experience. And though you can place your iPod on a tub deck or countertop, there’s a new way to surround yourself in sound — and that’s to literally immerse yourself. Sound immersion transforms the bathtub’s shell into a huge speaker. The system usually comes with a floating remote control, so you can adjust programming, volume and lighting — depending on what your serotonin’s doing that day.

Add bling to blah Metallic leathers add shine to dull rooms
M
Metallic leathers may not be for every mountain home, but the bling factor has its place when injected into the right nooks and crannies. The shiny leather material, finished with special metallic mica powders combined with aniline dyes, give a shout out to the 1950s — only these days, they come in a palette of colors

to reflect modern hues. Colors range from silver, gold, bronze and platinum to strong yellows, teal, blues, purples, reds and more. Edelman Leather, a staple supplier of metallic leathers, calls it: “A shine from the past, colors moving forward towards the future.” Most people encounter metallic leathers in commercial
settings, such as hotel lobbies and bars. As Yvonne Jacobs, president of Slifer Designs in Edwards, pointed out: Hotels and restaurants need to update their style about every five years, so using metallic makes sense. In residential settings, “it takes a special client” to incorporate metallic leathers in the mountains, since people often “think
of it as a little glitzy,” she said. Still, homeowners and designers tend to take cues from the commercial world, as well as urban settings, where metallic leathers show up in avant-garde offices, yachts and urban lofts. “It can add glamour to a home,” said Carol Moore of Carol Moore Interior Design in Edwards. “It adds a certain kind

of sophistication to a mid-century modern home or to a retro, Hollywood glamour home.”
Mountainous methods of piling on the bling
A luxurious, small condo in Vail could be the perfect place to pull off a pile of bling in the form of metallic leather upholstery, and perhaps even wall coverings. “I could see (it) in a condo like Solaris, where it’s completely slicked out with an urban, glamorous look,” said Nancy Sanford, owner of Nancy Sanford Interiors in Vail and Denver. Short of glitzing up the whole place, most Vail Valley interior designers use metallic leathers as accent pieces. Sanford suggests using embossed metallic leathers, because the textured embossment tames down the shine a bit, allowing it to blend better with the mountain environment. “I think it’s a better (fit),” Sanford said. “Too slick comes across as too urban or too beachy. (With embossment), you get the glamour, or the punch, but at the same 28

time, it’s grounded by having that three-dimensional texture to it.” She recently upholstered a full bed — headboard, footboard and sideboards — in a metallic shell color and surprised even herself with how “great” it looked, she said. She also created a pebbled leather mirror frame in a master bathroom to match the bluish gray Calcutta marble countertop. Jacobs has upholstered powder room walls with smooth metallic leathers, as well as those in crocodile and stingray textures. She also employs the leather on accent walls to add “sparkle” to a room. And, for those who can’t quite spring for real leather, experienced faux painters can recreate the look of metallic ostrich, snake skin or any other exotic type of leather, using acrylic materials and mixing tissue and plasters. “Now they’ve come up with so many vinyls that look like snakeskins, crocodile skins and other exotic hides that people are going with the more cost effective vinyl rather than the real thing,” said faux painter Joe Wakeman
“The shine is nice as an accent piece instead of a larger piece. (It provides) more of a sophistication factor, rather than being loud.”
of Norling-Wakeman Studios. But when metallic leathers are used as accent pieces — as they mostly are in the Vail Valley — most people opt to use the real thing. Jacobs sees clients purchasing metallic leather ottomans. Pillows are also the perfect place to go glitzy. And homeowners don’t need a leather sofa to add metallic leathers; Jacobs said they
blend nicely with mohair, wool or other neutral or dark palette sofas. “The shine is nice as an accent piece instead of a larger piece,” Jacobs said. “(It provides) more of a sophistication factor, rather than being loud.” In this way, metallic leathers find a fit in mountain culture, where there’s a place to get a little showy, in the midst of the relaxing alpine environment.

Arrowhead
Right on Target Arrowhead offers a cozy retreat, yet is within walking distance to Avon, Beaver Creek and Edwards. By kathy filgo
W
When Arrowhead Mountain opened to skiers, Arrowhead residents had access to their own little part of the mountain with 180 acres of skiable terrain, 12 trails, and a vertical drop of 1,700 feet. That was in 1988, but there’s been a bit of change that has taken place in the last quarter-century. The single-wide trailer with a ski shop and ticket office has been
32
VAIL VALLEY HOME | february 2014
replaced by the luxurious and elegant Alpine Club. And when the village-to-village ski connection opened in 1996, linking Arrowhead Mountain with Beaver Creek Village and Bachelor Gulch, creating access to 1,625 skiable acres, Arrowhead was on the map! But the new ArrowBahn highspeed quad ski lift whisking skiers and boarders (including the pub-
lic) to world to renowned skiing is only a small part of the splendid year-round picture that the Arrowhead community features. A superior golf course, Country Club of the Rockies, is also on-site. A Jack Nicklaus signature golf course meanders throughout this beautiful, gated community with the Eagle River criss-crossing the course along its 18-holes.
A 27,000 square foot clubhouse with a superb patio, laden with flowers in the summertime, boasts an outdoor dining experience second to none in the entire county. Overlooking the golf course and a pond complete with cascading waterfall, the soothing sounds of falling water combine with an explosive burst of color that unites to put all diners’ senses on alert.

They further expounded, “We set out to create a subtle, quiet background for the art and collectibles we’ve found in our travels. We wanted to build a home that would fit in with its extraordinary natural setting. This is a site that few people have enjoyed since the Ute Indians camped in these hills more than a century ago.

And the green house, patterned after the I.M. Pei structure at the Louvre, is one among many special hideaways that are treasured by the owner. When asked why this has been such a special place to call home, the owner’s response was eloquent and insightful. “It has been the center of my emotional, physical, and thinking being.

It refreshes my soul daily with its magnificent views, and the sheer toughness of the isolated nature that abounds.”

After several tumultuous years, it appears the real estate market here in the Vail Valley is not only stabilizing, but also trending positive. Although residential sales are down slightly from this time last year, they are only down by 6.7 percent; and we have seen pockets of growth despite the overall number. Month-to-month comparisons continue to fluctuate slightly, with this past spring and summer seeing the most positive sales then dropping off in the fall. As of November 2013, inventory is down causing demand to swing

upward—a great time to enter the market. According to Mike Bud, Vail Board of REALTORS chairperson, “It appears the market has flattened in terms of transactions, indicating stability. Certain markets have seen appreciation, with respect to inflation, while others seem to lag behind,” Bud says. “This is an good indication that there is still room for improvement, but all in all a stable market.” For in depth analysis on specific market areas of appreciation and decline, contact your trusted real estate professional.

Each is knowledgeable about the market in general and many have extensive experience in neighborhood market niches. Taking a closer look at market activity, we shift our attention from an era of top selling prices and volume to seller behaviors, dropping inventory levels, and increased building permit activity. Currently, new and active listings are down approximately 20 percent. This lower inventory is by all means affecting the closing sales rates. Another factor to highlight is a slight increase in mortgage rates to over 4 percent where they are expected to stay. Despite lower inventory, there are several areas of increase. Pending Sales in the single family/ duplex residential offerings are up 10.3 percent. As well as an increasing Median Sales Price, which is up 31.3 percent to $722,000 for single family/duplex homes and up 23.9 percent to $440,000 for residential
townhome/condominiums. This indicates that with a lower inventory, sellers have more confidence due to lower supply and higher demand. Buyers seem to be accepting the increases in price, as the

dicating more realistic listing prices for the homes available. Historically, the holidays are not a busy time for house hunters. A focus on family takes precedence over viewing homes and writing of-
fers. Yet the New Year seems to be promising with the economic and job market data surprisingly higher than expected. The real estate market confidence will surely rise with the positive job market trends. If you have been “buying your time” and holding off on listing your home, now would be a good time to consider putting your home up for sale. Whether a single family/duplex or a townhome/ condominium, the competition is down with a lack of inventory. As a seller, you have an upper hand in this market trend. You can set a realistic price for your home and more than likely get what you are asking for. However, ascertaining that price can be difficult at times. Enlisting the help and knowledge of an experienced REALTOR will make this process easier and more exact. This will also ensure that your home will move quicker than in the past couple of years.

harming Swiss chalets and enormous log structures: These are often the main architectural styles that conjure traditional, romantic notions of mountain living. But the European feel and the ranch look are only two of three main architectural styles in the Vail Valley. Mountain modern is a classification that allows homeowners and architects to borrow from the two traditions, while designing a timeless and unique home.
European tradition It all began in and around the European mountains: Simple wooden structures popped up in valleys and pastures. As far back as the 1300s, the original term “chalet” described a rudimentary shelter used by farmers a few months out of the year. They utilized the natural resources — wood and stone — they found in the surrounding environment. The modern term “chalet” refers more to an in-town house designed by French and English travelers who, after visiting Switzerland, romanticized the Swiss homes they encountered by heavily adorning them until they

smacked of gingerbread houses. Defining characteristics of these mid-19th century homes include: wooden construction with little or no finish; a shallow roof angle (to hold snow for better insulation) that overhangs a prominent, single gable; tiny windows, since glassmakers could not fashion large windows; and small rooms so inhabitants could more efficiently heat them with wood-burning stoves. “Vail was built with an alpine European vision, so many of the original homes, and even recent homes, reflect that heritage, although they’re often updated with a modern influence,” said
Doug DeChant, president of Shepherd Resources, Inc. AIA Architects. Modern technology now allows homes and luxury condominiums to employ larger glass windows than any 19th century villager could have imagined, and heating systems provide plenty of warmth to create open floor plans, rather than individual rooms that rely on wooden stoves. This means any European influenced home in the Vail Valley makes a bolder statement, while still maintaining the charm of yesteryear. When Sonnenalp sprung to life in Vail decades ago, with its decorative balconies, shutters and
rooftops, homeowners followed the European cue. In the Vail Valley, European architecture dominated architectural styles into the mid-1990s, and some homeowners still opt for the Old World style, said Jack Snow, owner of RKD Architects. Log cabins and Colorado ranches Of course, any mountain vision usually invokes at least one image of a log, or ranch-style home. “It’s just what people’s vision of a mountain house is,” said Kyle Webb, owner of K.H. Webb Architects. While log cabins have come a

long way in terms of adaptability, Webb says fewer homeowners are choosing to build traditional log homes these days because log homes “functionally can’t adapt” as well as timber homes. However, as architects mix logs with timber, they find “new ways of pushing the boundaries of what timber used to do, in terms of spans, cantilevers (and more),” DeChant said. For instance, he has used heavy log columns, beams and trusses on a sturdy stone foundation and inserted huge glass windows between the log columns. The latest technology in durable, well-insulated materials like glass has allowed architects to expand the range of possibilities when it comes to log and timber homes. One of the things architects like DeChant consider when building a more traditional mountain, or Colorado lodge, home is: What did the original Colorado home in the mountains look like, and what can it look like when adapted to the Vail Valley and a specific client’s needs? Then, they tend to push the limits. One of the grandest examples of pushing the envelope comes in the form of mimicking National Park Service lodges. Bachelor Gulch and Red Sky Ranch mandated the style in their subdivisions, calling for the use of heavy stone foundations, large-scale logs and timbers “that almost exaggerate, to push the evidence of the structure” and a priority upon overt structural expression, DeChant said. Large, open floor plans and expansive windows also became a necessity. Many neighborhood design guidelines mandate certain adaptations of European or Colorado lodge features, which have greatly influenced much of the architecture, DeChant said. In fact, some of the restrictions have restrained architects when they attempt to build too modern. “The area is a Colorado resort, so we see traditional mountain homes and lodges that reflect the

heritage of the Rocky Mountains,” DeChant said, “thus the use of log and timber, stone, steel and, of course, glass to receive warming sunlight and take in views. Transitional to mountain modern In the mid-2000s, mountain modern became a buzzword, and it has stuck. Though it seems each homeowner and professional has a slight variation on the exact definition, one thing is certain: It’s an updated version of any European or ranch style architecture that has been going on in the mountains, and it lends itself to stretches of the imagination.

825 Holden Road $4,350,000 │ 5 bedrooms │ 5,300 square feet One subcategory — or style just before a home is actually defined as mountain modern — is called “transitional.” Transitional style is a progression toward modern, or contemporary. It’s “a little neater and cleaner, but not (mountain) modern,” Webb said. He distinguishes transitional from mountain modern in the following way: Transitional is clean and simple but still tends to utilize decorative, or ornamental base and case, and can carry lines of old stone mountain homes, while mountain modern is more sleek with a lot of stone and no case or base trim (or very little). The latter employs fewer materials and is overall sleeker and cleaner. It doesn’t have traditional gable roofs and can often feature flat roofs. Transitional may take a timber, ranch style home, and blend steel beam work “to change it up a bit,” Webb said. DeChant
describes it as a mix of traditional and emerging. When it comes to defining modern vs. mountain modern, there’s also a fine line. Webb describes it by summoning visions of a white, sleek box in Palm Beach, vs. a mountain modern home that “uses natural materials to pay homage to the mountains with modern design.” In other words, it merges organic materials like wood, stone and stucco with modern materials, forms and arrangements, DeChant said. Color palettes and materials tend to echo the surrounding environment. Smooth stone paneling inside and out, along with larger, smoother wooden panels and much more glass are common elements in mountain modern homes. Snow explains it this way: Modern employs flat roofs and rectangular boxes, while mountain modern draws from ranch materials like wood and stone but

employs it in cleaner, lighter ways. “We’re talking the difference between jazz and rock, so there are differences, but there are some gray lines in there,” Snow said. Mountain modern imagination And that’s where the magic comes in. No matter what exact definition or term people use to describe the “mountain modern” trend, one thing is certain: It allows architects to be creative. “Modern architecture gives us the opportunity to (settle) onto a

piece of ground and, with our client’s program in mind, ask, ‘what does this piece of ground want — what is it asking for?’” DeChant said. “It’s a place to more freely imagine what could be here … It’s a place where almost any form is worth considering.” The style lends itself to solar absorption through south-facing widows; stone walls that absorb heat; and sod roofs, where wildflowers and grass help blend the home into its surroundings. Snow draws from sculpture and art when designing homes; his
goal involves taking advantage of a piece of land and making a piece of art, he said. In fact, he avoids categorizing his homes, instead striving to create designs and features that others are not. Still, most homeowners initially call for mountain modern (and then, possibly push boundaries from there). “Contemporary is moving to the top of the heap,” Webb said. “As people become more receptive to mountain modern, we’re allowed to do more things that we weren’t able to do before.” One example involves siding

Webb calls it a clean version of wood siding. Other options include exterior and interior concrete and steel paneling. The concrete can be tinted to warm up the appearance, and a patinated, bluish steel looks warm as well, Webb said. Overall, mountain modern encompasses a plethora of design options and materials.
“Clients are becoming more sophisticated in architecture in general,” DeChant said. “They want to imagine what can be. They don’t just want to recreate the past. They want to imagine.” Fortunately, the merger of technology and inspiration — which leads to more open-mindedness — provides the perfect opportunity to create a true home of your dreams. “There are all sorts of new things that are on the horizon,” Webb said. “Before, we were limited by palettes. But now, it’s a work in progress.”
