20

years ago,

Pat Cooley, then-publisher of Colorado Homes & Lifestyles magazine, bought a modest townhouse in Breckenridge, Colorado. “After living most of my life in the flatlands of Florida, I didn’t want to just gaze at the mountains from afar,” she said. “I wanted to experience daily life in the Colorado high country, even if only for a few days a month.” That experience sparked an idea: a special edition showcasing some of the most beautiful mountain homes that had been featured in Colorado Homes & Lifestyles over the years. It was called Mountain Living. One year later, Mountain Living was a quarterly magazine with a growing readership of mountain-home enthusiasts. And now, two decades later, we’re still here and stronger than ever, thanks to our faithful readers, advertisers—and the amazing people we’ve had on our team. Which brings me to another big anniversary we’ll be celebrating this year. Back in 1994, a fresh-outof-college Wyoming gal named Loneta Showell moved to Denver in search of her first job as a graphic designer. After two weeks of pounding the pavement with no solid leads, she was getting antsy. But then she sent her portfolio to Colorado Homes & Lifestyles magazine, which was searching for an assistant art director to produce its new mountain home magazine. One day later, she had the job. And just one year after that, she became Mountain Living’s art director. “I remember sitting in [publisher] Eliza Cross’s office, saying, ‘I’m not ready to do this!’” Loneta recalls. “But Eliza said, ‘Yes, you are.’” Eliza was right. For the past 20 years, Loneta has been knocking herself out to create Mountain Living’s stylish features and covers. She’s constructed a replica of the Chrysler Building out of tile and wired crystal goblets to tree branches (pictured at left), built a river bed, smuggled logs out of parks, fished wood planks out of lakes, and hand-painted dead grass to look spring-green—all in pursuit of the perfect shot. So Loneta, on behalf of all of us at Mountain Living, happy anniversary! And thank you for two amazing, adventure-filled decades. And to our readers, please accept my thanks for spending time with us over the years. As Pat Cooley wrote in that very first edition of the magazine, I hope Mountain Living is everything you hoped for, and ask that you let us know how we can grow to accommodate your interests and ideas in the years to come.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Happy 20th, ML! Over the past two decades, Mountain Living has photographed hundreds of mountain homes, filled thousands shared with our readers nationwide. But in all that time, the most rewarding part of this business for me has remained constant: I still get a rush of adrenaline each time a beautiful, glossy new edition of the magazine is delivered to my desk. So many decisions go into producing each issue. Our editors scour the high country to find the most interesting and inspiring mountain homes, our writers carefully choose each word to convey the story behind each one, and our art director orchestrates each photo shoot to ensure we get the perfect shot every time. Meanwhile, our sales team braves downpours, snowstorms and even the occasional moose encounter as they travel the West to help our advertisers create the right marketing plans for their businesses. Over the past five years, Mountain Living has grown in ways I had never imagined. Our reach has expanded and our content is now delivered through a variety of new channels, from a daily blog to Twitter feeds. But the sense of wonder I feel when I’m in the mountains has never faded. There’s one moment that has stayed with me for years: I was in Telluride, Colorado, riding the gondola down into town for a day of meetings, and as I looked at the aspens around me and the towering mountains ahead, I just had to gasp, “How did I get so lucky?” I guess when you love what you do, it becomes a part of you. It’s not work, it’s part of a greater journey. So thank you for taking this wonderful journey right along with us. And thanks for making the last 20 years of Mountain Living such a peak experience.

The magazine you’re holding in your hands was 20 years in the making. And on the pages that follow, we’re proud to share our two decades’-worth of insider observations on what’s happening in the mountain communities of the American West: architectural trends, interior design tips and travel hotspots. It’s a privilege to showcase the best of the high country, and you can count on Mountain Living to keep an eye focused on the latest and greatest. Because 20 years may seem old, but it’s really just the beginning.

Our First Issue

Though Mountain Living debuted in 1994 as a special edition of Colorado Homes & Lifestyles magazine, our premiere issue as a stand-alone magazine came in 1995. In it, we featured cozy cabins and cottages; a Taos, New Mexico, travel guide; the opening of Aspen’s then-new Ajax Tavern; and a cuisine feature that began, “There’s Tiramisu in them thar hills!”

1995

Styling 20 years of photos took art director Loneta Showell several thousand hours, and:

1996

When famed Native American artist R. C. Gorman opened the doors of his 115-acre Taos, New Mexico, estate to Mountain Living in 1996, we were favored with a rare glimpse of a great creative mind at work. Comprised of a 14-room main residence (originally a four-room, 200-year-old adobe sheepherder’s house), three guest houses, a studio, a ceramics studio, a one-acre Zen-inspired enclosed courtyard and a three-acre cemetery, Gorman’s compound was welcoming, full of life and character, and— most strikingly—art. Gorman’s studio was the heart of his home; a huge room where

is

he not only worked but also entertained, with a Steinway grand piano graced by autographed photos of friends like singer Arlo Guthrie and former Texas governor Ann Richards. Like the other rooms in the house, the studio walls were covered with art, including several nudes, landscapes and Navajo women by Gorman. The dining room (pictured above) contained spectacular pieces by Miró, Fernand Léger, Rodin, Chagall and Picasso. “As many material things as I have, I’m really not that material,” Gorman reflected. But what he had, he delighted in. “If I have something, I really enjoy it.”


Quite possibly the future of rustic architecture was how we described this Jackson, Wyoming, home designed by architect Eric Logan, who is now a principal of Jackson firm Carney Logan Burke Architects. With its simplified barn form and palette of recycled and industrial materials—oxidized steel paneling, oiled concrete floors, aluminum-plate countertops and galvanized corrugated-metal ceilings—the house certainly defied conventional notions of a rustic home. And today, 14 years after it was built, the design still feels fresh, forward-thinking and perfectly at home in the West.

2000

Eliza Cross and Mountain Living go way back. In 1995, she was the magazine’s co-owner and founding publisher. Today, she’s one of our favorite contributing writers (not to mention an accomplished book author). We asked Eliza to share some of her best memories from the magazine’s early days, and while we only had room for one here, you’ll find the rest online at mountainliving.com.

During our first year we wrote about Robert Redford’s preservation efforts and were given permission to use his photo on the cover; it was quite a coup. One afternoon my phone rang, and the caller said: ‘This is Robert Redford, and I really appreciate Mountain Living’s support.’ I almost passed out! I stammered a reply, and he said, ‘I’m going to be in Boulder next week for an environmental conference. Would you like to have dinner?’ His voice didn’t sound quite like I thought it would and it all seemed a little too good to be true, so I asked, ‘Can I check my calendar and call you right back?’ and he hung up. When I yanked open my office door, everyone was in the hall listening and having a big laugh. I love practical jokes and they got me so good!

The number of high-country homes Mountain Living has featured since 1994

what makes a design timeless? It seems we found the answer in this baita (a term for a remote, rustic alpine shelter), perched on a near-perpendicular slope of the Val Veny in the Italian Alps. For centuries, the structure was a cattle stable with living quarters for the cowherd; it later collapsed after standing deserted for generations. Rome-based architect Franco Raos carefully restored the structure by reassembling its original granite walls, using modern mortar to replace the original earth-and-lime mixture. Larice (hard pine) wood from the original floors and stalls was used throughout the house; during the decades the baita was abandoned, the wood inside was protected and preserved by manure, which also aged it to a rich golden-red hue. The wood is pocked with holes left after the removal of hundreds of antique handmade nails. The home’s simple furnishings and color palette create a sense of peace—and an aesthetic that will appeal to many generations to come. “It’s basic,” Raos said, “and I think, because of that, it’s very beautiful.”

2013 in 20 years, we’ve witnessed the evolution of many significant high-country structures, like this National Historic Landmark in Crested Butte, Colorado:

log & timber style

photos, clockwise from top left: David O. Marlow, tom rider, frank carter, michael shopenn, tom stillo

In 2001, the publishers of Mountain Living debuted a new magazine called Log & Timber Style. Its editions celebrated timber-frame homes—those in which the structural elements of the home are left exposed on the interior—of all shapes and sizes, from beach houses on the rugged Oregon coast (pictured below) to cabins in the Adirondacks. The last edition of Log & Timber Style was published in 2005, but the architectural legacy of the timber-frame home lives on.

1996

2001

In 1996, we introduced readers to the Crested Butte Club, a charming Victorian inn in downtown Crested Butte, Colorado. Located in a National Historic Landmark building, it offered seven rooms furnished with cozy beds, fireplaces with carved mantels, and old-fashioned pull toilets; rates ranged from $150 to $225 per night. Last year we returned to the inn, now an ultra-luxe retreat called Scarp Ridge Lodge that offers its discerning guests roadless-traveled excursions by day and fivestar-hotel pampering at night—and rents for a jaw-dropping $12,500 per night!

our first show home

photos, clockwise from far left: AUdrey Hall, Martin Crabb, James Ray Spahn, jeff scroggins

Art director Loneta Showell has done some crafty things to style the perfect photo for our “Shopping” department, from whittling branches into clothespins to hand-crafting miniature suitcases from tiny bits of tile. For this picnic scene, we needed lush green grass. Trouble was, the photo shoot was in February. So what did Loneta do? After purchasing some crispy brown grass from a sod farm, she found four different shades of green spray paint and painted the grass green herself. Can you tell it isn’t real?

“Why can’t a luxurious mountain house be sustainable, too?” That’s the question that inspired us to create our first Natural Dream Home, an energy-efficient, fire-resistant, low-maintenance dwelling built from natural, reclaimed and organic materials. As technology evolved, we knew we could build even “greener,” so in 2009, we debuted our second show home, a luxurious, LEED-certified lodge in Cordillera, Colorado, filled with hundreds of green-building products and ideas. One of our readers loved it so much, she purchased it and moved right in!

a mountain home is more than shelter , more than a roof to protect from the rain and snow. it is a Architect Larry Pearson window to the wilderness.

the list: top mountain architects

log construction may be a timeless choice for a mountain home, but that doesn’t mean logs haven’t changed a bit with the times.

photos, clockwise from near right: Emily Minton Redfield, Gibeon Photography, Audrey Hall, Gibeon Photography, AUdrey Hall, Jim Bartsch

Twenty years ago, the log homes we featured were often built from blonde, round logs, which created a cozy, homey feel.

But as homeowners began to incorporate more contemporary décor into their mountain homes, logs got an update, too.

2012

2009 Some were stained a dark espresso hue. Others were painted white.

2012

2006

And it wasn’t long before architects began experimenting with the chinking between the logs, too. In this Wyoming home, glass chinking puts a modern spin on a traditional design detail.

Soon after our first issue debuted, readers began asking us to recommend mountain architects and interior designers. So in 2006, we compiled those recommendations into a list we called the Top 100 Mountain Architects. The next year, we honored top interior designers, too. These days, there are more than 100 firms on each list, but that doesn’t stop readers from visiting the website of each one to find their favorite.

Christine DeOrio, editor in chief

One of the best parts of my job is Learning that readers are saving pages from the magazine to show their architects and interior designers.

We’re always delighted to hear from readers whose mountain homes were inspired by the designs featured on our pages. One of our favorite examples is pictured here. Interior designer Lisa Kanning and contractors Todd Thesing and Rob McRae, of Highline Partners—the team that created Mountain Living’s 2011 Home of the Year, pictured at left— recently reunited at the request of new clients who had admired the Home of the Year’s mountain-modern style. Though their new home (below) isn’t a carbon copy of the original, both rustic-luxe designs share a dramatic simplicity created by muted colors, earthy materials and richly contrasting textures.

thanks to the Web-based pinboard approach of Pinterest. We can now “pin” our favorite images according to category (Kitchens, Bedrooms) or theme (Rustic, MountainModern) or design element (Staircases, Antlers). It’s a great way to follow trends, while maybe even starting a few ourselves. Who knows what technogadgets we’ll be using 20 years from now, but the excitement of sharing an “Oh wow!” photo will never change. Here, a few of Mountain Living’s most-pinned images.

park city Lifestyles Visitors to Park City, Utah will find much more than just a ski resort town. This historic community has roots reaching back to the 1800’s; now, modern-day Park City offers upscale lodging and restaurants, and world-class events and activities.

What To Do Park City is widely known for

its three resorts, Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley Resort and Canyons Resort. These awardwinning destinations offer far more than just skiing and snowboarding, however. Each offers luxurious accommodations, four-star dining both on and off the mountains, spa experiences, adventures such as ziplines and a mountain coaster, family-friendly getaways and much more. The Utah Olympic Park is a year-round training ground for athletes of all abilities. Visitors can watch athletes in training, visit the Alf Engen Ski History Museum and the 2002 Eccles Winter Olympic Museum, take a spin down the bobsled track or take an intro to luge camp. The nonprofit Sundance Institute hosts the massive Sundance Film Festival each winter, and also hosts free community programs throughout the year. For those who want to enjoy off-snow activities, Park City is filled with shops, museums, galleries, spas and historical tours. The wildly popular Sundance film festival takes place in mid-January. Celebrating independent filmmakers, the event draws stars from around the world. During the holiday season, make plans to catch the annual torchlight parades at the ski resorts; January brings the FIS Freestyle World Cup, a prestigious athletic competition, featuring aerials, moguls and dual moguls, as well as the USAA Freestyle Sprint U.S. Grand Prix at Park City Mountain Resort. The Cross Country Round Valley Roundup Nordic Ski Race, taking place in February, is a 5K, 20K, and 40K community based event designed to encourage skiers of all levels.

THE COWBOY SHOP

C

owboy boots were born to protect rugged pioneers tending cattle herds on wide swaths of often-inhospitable rangeland. Today it’s all about style, Burns 1876, made-in-America style.

The Burns family of Salina, Utah and Park City have embellished and perfected all facets of western attire these past 138 years with boots, belts, hats, saddles, tack, and handbags to outfit country and city folks alike. Burns Cowboy Shop, on Park City’s historic Main Street displays this generational march toward functionality, and eye-popping pizzazz. According to fifth-generation owner, Danna Burns-Shaw, this year’s top sellers are the short (3” tall), little Botines constructed of surprisingly soft and supple leathers thanks to expert tanning. “They are sleek and sexy worn with leggings and skinny jeans.” Her husband Scott adds, “This is the home run, Burns’ latest and greatest.” Also big this winter are 17” boots, either equestrian or western. “It’s really short or really tall this year,” claims Danna. Sourcing their hides worldwide, the company features exotic leathers like Caiman, American Alligator, elephant and giraffe. Ostrich, goatskin and calfskin have long been favorites. The knowledgeable, well-outfitted staff can help customers choose a pair of boots in many colors, shapes, and designs from their store shelves, or they can measure your feet to provide a custom pair. Burns boots are bench made in Texas using a 100 plus step process. Choose a beaver or Panama hat in a variety of styles handmade at Burns Saddlery in Salina. An expert will assist in shaping your hat. Burns belts are also crafted by hand at the saddlery displaying artistry with hand tooling and three layers of leather as part of their “Authentic American” product line. The family-owned company has added silversmith to their repertoire with solid sterling silver buckles produced in their Texas facility. Burns’ gorgeous ostrich handbags are a look of elegance and come in multiple sizes: clutch, midsize, large tote, wallets and billfolds. See where this legacy of leather has led the family.

A Place to Play Story by Hilary Masell Oswald

interior design by Abby Hetherington Interiors

This one-bedroom guesthouse in Bozeman, Montana, pulls double duty: When the homeowners (whose main house is just a short walk away) have company, it’s a quirky, charming place for guests to kick back. But during football season, the guesthouse is game-watching central for the owners and their three sons. So it’s no wonder that interior designer Abby Hetherington let playfulness inspire her vision for the space. “You could call it a tongue-incheek tribute to a 1970s Montana lodge,” she says. Whether the ’70s gave us anything as cool as this guesthouse is up for debate. Hetherington’s interpretation easily blends modern lines, rustic finishes, retro details and hunting-lodge accessories. The result: a space that feels both surprising and perfectly at home in Montana. The first thing Hetherington bought for the house is an enormous neon “BAR” sign, discovered at a vintage shop in Bozeman. “You could say that set the tone,” she laughs. “We weren’t going to have an earnest space with a giant neon sign in the middle of it all.” The designer transformed the kitchen area beneath the sign by extending the height of the existing cabinets and painting them black. “When you’re designing something this over-the-top, black is a good choice because it grounds the space,” she advises. The bar got a coat of silver leaf and a custom top. To create it, the homeowners gathered currency from the countries they’ve visited, and a craftsman arranged it under a layer of acrylic—a retro treatment and sentimental element all in one. To add more storage space, Hetherington chose an armoire made from the doors of a Model T Ford; inside are the coffee maker and other breakfast accouterments. And the whole space gets a little extra glow from blue FACING PAGE: The kitchen got a facelift to complement the funky “BAR” sign overhead: Hetherington painted the existing cabinets black, then gave the bar a silverleaf finish. The armoire is made from a Model T Ford’s doors, and stools from Halo Styles swivel like classic diner stools. The living area’s curved sofa from USA Rags is covered in cobalt-blue brushed velvet. “You could basically drive over it and it would still look awesome,” Hetherington says.

etched-glass pendants made from seltzer water bottles. Transforming the rest of the main room proved a bit trickier because “it’s so linear,” Hetherington says. “We had to maximize seating and arrange it so everyone could see the TV.” To add a little softness, she chose a curved sofa from USA Rags covered in cobalt-blue brushed velvet and finished with silver studs. “Don’t they remind you of the ‘Rhinestone Cowboy’?” she asks. A coffee table from the Bozeman gallery Misco Mill features caster legs and can be raised to function as a dining table—perfect for game-time meals. Under it all is a beautiful and durable rug that was custom-made in Istanbul from remnants of antique kilims. The pièce de résistance in this space is the giant map that covers an entire wall. Hetherington found the 11-by-17-inch original in an antiques store in Portland, Oregon, and worked with a graphic designer to scale the map to fit precisely. The designer also adjusted the color to blend with the home’s palette. “I love adding art that means something to the family,” Hetherington says. “It’s an easy way to personalize a space.” With so many high-octane elements, the real question is how Hetherington made the design look smart and cheeky, not weird and wild. The secret, she says, is in a consistent color palette. The cobalt-blue hue of the couch shows up again in a pillow in the bedroom’s sitting area, the kitschy framed prints in the bathroom, the light fixtures above the bar, the woven leather on the antique-cart-turned-bench, and the streams on the map. The bright orange bedroom lamp has a mate in the living-room coat rack. And bold red makes an appearance in each area of the house. “You get visual consistency, even with all these extraordinary elements,” Hetherington says. All in all, the design delivers a good dose of fun, which is just what the owners wanted. “Some people try to be so serious and literal about their homes,” Hetherington says. “This space is just to make people smile and laugh and have a good time.” Let the games begin. o


93


Hetherington topped this bench cart, from Bobo Intriguing Objects, with colorful woven leather from Dedar. “It’s rustic with a modern twist,” she says. Doug Nordberg, a craftsman in Cody, Wyoming, made the side table, complete with enough fringe to satisfy Buffalo Bill. Wellloved pieces of mountain adventure gear, from a fishing net to ski poles, become objets d’art on the wall.

94


FUN & FUNCTION

Ready to add a little fun to your home’s design? Start here. Custom art For Hetherington, there’s nothing better than creating large-scale art from a beloved photo, local map, favorite poem or any other visual element that her clients love. “Find a graphic designer who does large-scale pieces, like car ads or billboards,” she suggests. “He or she will have the capabilities to scan the original image and produce something high-quality.” And one more tip: The designer should measure the space before you start.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: Hetherington stocked the bar with vintage bottles that represent places the owners have traveled. A funky custom chandelier adds personality to the living area. Hetherington originally wanted to hang blue mercury glass pendants over the bar, but fell in love with these seltzer bottle lights from Unearthed instead.

Quirky wallpaper You might not want it all over your house, but playful wallpaper can add just enough flair to a room. Ask your designer about putting it in a powder room, den or bedroom (or a bed and bath, like Hetherington did, to visually tie the two rooms together). Start your search at Andrew Martin, Aimée Wilder, Timorous Beasties, Graham & Brown or Ferm Living. Bold lights “Lighting is so interesting,” Hetherington says. If your home suggests otherwise, consider swapping out your ho-hum fixtures for something bolder. You might want color-infused glass pendants that draw out a color in the room’s palette, or maybe you should crown a space with a sparkly chandelier with hand-cut white glass. Ask your designer to help you cull good ideas from the wide range of lighting companies producing gorgeous options.

95


about the “ think purpose of the room before you start the design process. If the purpose is to watch tv, don’t spend a bunch of money to hide the TV. Splurge on durable fabrics, comfy seating and cool accessories instead.

Abby Hetherington

In the bedroom, Hetherington paired Andrew Martin wallpaper—a cheeky riff on a traditional log wall—with an antique Montana map and topped the dresser with a vintage duck decoy, a nod to the owner’s love of hunting. She kept the couple’s existing lodgepole pine bed and side table and selected neutral bedding “to create the feeling of a traditional Montana lodge.” Then she added a few funky elements to modernize the space: an industrial lamp-hand light from Misco Mill and a bright orange table lamp. FACING PAGE: To visually tie the bathroom to the bedroom, Hetherington used the same Andrew Martin wallpaper in both spaces. Lights from Schoolhouse Electric add retro charm, and custom barn wood frames show off kitschy photos from Fab.com.

Two aesthetic-minded homeowners and a cutting-edge architect collaborate on a residential sculpture in Missoula, Montana

Photography by Gibeon Photography


Viewed from a courtyard concealed from the street by the L-shaped layout, the home’s exterior siding of standing-seam COR-TEN steel makes it resemble a live-in modern sculpture. When construction was completed in early 2013, a solution of vinegar, water and salt was sprayed onto the steel-alloy material, which then developed its protective oxidized coating within an hour.

Architecture by Chris Pardo Design: Elemental Architecture Construction by Jason Lonski construction & historic preservation

“ We wanted to live in a work of art that made people think differently about what houses could be,” says Glenn Kreisel of the home in the residential heart of Missoula where he, his wife Jennifer Leutzinger, and their 11-year-old daughter Wren moved last March. The family had already resided on the site for five years, in a mid-1950s prefab measuring just 900 square feet. When the house next door came up for sale, they decided to combine the two lots, tear down both old buildings, and finally achieve their “dream of a modern house” custom-tailored to their lives, tastes and careers—Leutzinger, an artist, owns a local art gallery, and Kreisel is an inventor and software entrepreneur. They searched Google Images for homes that looked like their dream come true. To their surprise, half of their 10 favorites were the work of one man: Chris Pardo, principal of Chris Pardo Design: Elemental Architecture, with offices in Seattle and Palm Springs. Soon, they met up with Pardo and agreed on common goals. Beyond a live-in sculpture, the couple wanted to create a sense of privacy within a very public neighborhood “a mile from downtown, half a mile from the university, and a block from Dairy Queen.” They also wanted to make minimal impact on the site, preserving as many trees as possible while maximizing energy efficiency (see sidebar). Connecting the existing cement-slab foundations of the two teardowns, and removing only one small tree, Pardo created an L-shaped configuration—which conceals a courtyard—consisting of a two-story main house and a smaller structure containing a guesthouse, art studio and garage. Placing family bedrooms and baths on the main building’s ground floor, with windows set high, achieved even more privacy. Upstairs living and entertaining spaces and rooftop decks offer panoramic views in the largely single-story neighborhood. Two indoor staircases and an exterior stairway and rooftop ramp not only link the various spaces but also enhance the sculptural look while adding a sense of fun. As for materials, Kreisel says, “We wanted something that will last for a hundred years with minimal upkeep.” Adds Leutzinger, “That meant things with

100

an industrial feel, like cement or oxidized metal. But those kinds of materials can also blend into the colors and landscape of the region.” For the cladding of the upper living spaces and art studio, they chose COR-TEN, also known as weathering steel, composed of alloys that oxidize to a stable, weather-resistant, rust-like finish. The 16-inch-wide metal panels have 2-inch standing seams that cast ever-shifting shadow patterns during the day. To define the exteriors of the home’s ground-floor living areas, Pardo suggested a material that, though traditional in Japan, is unconventional for North America: wood with a burnt surface, which is surprisingly durable and also naturally resistant to water and insects. They reclaimed planks from a century-old barn near Flathead Lake, north of Missoula, and used some in their natural state on the rooftop deck’s parapets. Other planks, in varying thicknesses that create a subtle interplay of shadows, were charred onsite using a propane torch. Inside, surfaces were deliberately kept spare and sleek, with white drywall and poured-concrete floors and countertops. “It feels clean, uncluttered, but still very homey,” Leutzinger says. Subtle touches underscore the aesthetic spirit that drove the creation of what she and Kreisel came to call Wren House, after their daughter. Switch plates designed by Kreisel (and made with the “Helix” 3-D printer created by Acuity, LLC, a startup Kreisel is involved with) keep Lutron lighting controls flush with the walls. LEDs trimmed in stainless steel light the baseboards, stair risers and foyer ceiling. Pale-green laminate kitchen cabinets add a quiet pop of color. Photographic woodland-image wall and bathroom-window treatments echo the Rocky Mountain setting. “Our main goal,” sums up Kreisel, “was to live just slightly differently than normal, to give people something different to think about and enjoy. Now, every day, when we look out the windows, we’ll see cars going really slowly when they drive by.” o

Showcase for Sustainability Though the home was inspired by a modern-art aesthetic, the owners, architect and construction team also prioritized sustainability. In addition to using environmentally responsible and recycled materials requiring low maintenance, the design incorporates an array of energy-saving features that help reduce the home’s carbon footprint, including: solar power Two full solar arrays on the rooftop decks provide energy for the home’s hot water and electricity. Rooftop shelter Encircling the decks are 42-inch-tall walls that effectively block breezes, making the outdoor spaces surprisingly habitable even on cold winter days.

Ground-source heat pump Underground heat exchangers use the more constant, moderate below-ground temperatures to help warm the house in winter and cool it in summer. Passive solar Concrete floors on the home’s upper level retain the warmth they receive from the ample winter sunlight that streams through southfacing windows, offsetting heating costs. Cross ventilation The floor plan was configured to keep fresh air flowing through the house, especially in summer, eliminating the need for air conditioning. Energy monitoring The home’s electrical systems are all run and monitored through Lutron controls that can be monitored and adjusted directly from an iPad.

In the living room, a wall of bookshelves is built into a niche that projects outward above a low line of windows with views of the treetops on the home’s street façade. The sturdy library-style ladder is made of clear-coated natural steel, and rolls back and forth on skateboard wheels. Custom wallpaper printed with a black-and-white blow-up photo of a tree trunk wraps around an interior structure containing, at the top of the stairs, a powder room and, facing the nearby kitchen, a pantry.

New York artist Peter Tunney’s painting “We Live In A Beautiful World” is the home’s unofficial slogan, a gentle reminder for visitors to take stock of the stunning surroundings. Combined with the artful typography, the Edison bulbs on the vintage brass-and-pipe chandelier evoke a fun theater marquee. A weathered driftwood console is a nod to the forest setting.

Against the Grain Story by Leilani Marie Labong

architecture by walton architecture & engineering interior design by Jeffers Design Group construction by Jim Morrison construction

The thing to remember when decorating a mountain getaway is that the warm and cozy look only works for half of the year. Heavy tapestries, woolen plaids and oversized leather seating certainly go a long way to keep inhabitants feeling snug when the snow is falling, but, as designer Jay Jeffers says, “when spring and summer roll around, all of that stuff feels completely out of place.” So when a young Bay Area family chose Jeffers to outfit their second home in Martis Camp, an upscale development near Lake Tahoe, the designer and his clients decided to take it easy on the traditional mountain trappings to keep the home looking fresh all year long. “The architecture of the home is very contemporary, with lots of big windows all around, so we wanted cleaner lines and a lighter feel,” explains the homeowner. Kelly Hohla, principal at San Francisco-based Jeffers Design Group, says, “We knew we didn’t want to go ‘traditional Tahoe,’ but we didn’t want to make it a funky city house, either.” Though the home’s pecan wood floors and exposed beams of red western cedar are certainly orthodox mountain materials, the designers paid tribute to the high-country surroundings in more subtle ways: A sofa in the second-floor media room—or, as the family calls it, the “vista room,” named for its views of the Carson Range—is upholstered in plaid, but the accompanying furnishings are decidedly modern. The unexpected ethnic ikat pattern on the living room’s midcentury chairs is a nod to The architecture’s high-country roots manifest in oversize ceiling beams made from western red cedar and floors of reclaimed pecan-wood planks. Expansive windows break up the heaviness of the timber and dramatically frame views of the landscape. A sneak peek of the living room reveals classic midcentury furniture silhouettes—a taste of the “modern mountain” design just around the bend.

the tapestries that might normally be found in alpine cabins, while accent pillows are covered in classic tartan. And though the bunkroom (where the homeowners’ young daughters and their friends get their shut-eye) is a space often found in traditional cabins, the designers put a fresh melon-green-and-sky-blue spin on the heavily timbered archetype. Jeffers put a moratorium on taxidermy animal busts and any decorative iteration of antlers, including the classic chandelier. Instead, he and Hohla opted for lighting with an industrial vibe to play up the modernity of the architecture. Over the dining table in the great room, for instance, a steel fixture from the eclectic Coup D’Etat showroom in San Francisco has beaker-like shapes and long filament bulbs that seem inspired by a scientific laboratory. The interplay between the lighting, the rustic wood table and the elegant upholstered chairs is emblematic of the design throughout the home. “I like to call this style ‘mountain modern,’” Jeffers says. Though there’s nary an antler to be found, that’s not to say animals don’t make appearances in the design. Martis Camp comprises more than 2,000 forested acres, after all, so failing to reference the wild environs would be a missed opportunity. Here again, in true Jeffers style, customs are given the tongue-in-cheek treatment. An abstract photograph of a bear by artist Robert Stivers hangs in the dining area, while in the downstairs guest bedroom a contemporary painting by Jay Kelly features, among other iconic symbols of the American West, an elk— slyly satisfying the antler requirement for dwellings located in the wilderness. And in case the vast windows that frame High Sierra views leave any doubt, a piece in the entryway by New York artist Peter Tunney spells it out in plain English: “We Live In A Beautiful World.” o

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP RIGHT: The bed in the master suite is covered in a dapper wool fabric from Holland & Sherry. With its fresh color palette, the kids’ bunkroom feels like summertime in Key West. Low-maintenance succulents make great second-home plants—they pull nutrients and moisture from the air. FACING PAGE: Gray ikat upholstery by Romo loosely represents the ethnic patterns often seen in native rugs. A secondary dining area with industrial aluminum chairs is situated on a spacious covered porch, just steps from the action outdoors.

Mountain-Modern Materials Designer Kelly Hohla pares down the mountain-modern style to its essentials. Reclaimed Woods “Bring in the light barn woods, but use them sparingly. They’ll make more of an impact if they’re not all over the place.” Wallpaper “Grasscloth wallpaper has natural texture that goes well in a mountain environment. You wouldn’t think of using wallpaper in a place like this, but it works.” Hohla likes coverings from Phillip Jeffries, phillipjeffries.com. Cozy rugs “They feel like a huge sweater on the floor.” Check out the plush offerings from Mark Nelson Designs, marknelsondesigns.com. Steel “Nickel sometimes feels too contemporary and bronze feels too formal. Steel is a great in-between metal that goes with everything.” While the kitchen seems like an obvious place for metal accents, Hohla also suggests using steel for mantels and stair railings. Blown glass “Fixtures made with imperfect blown glass create light and movement.” Works by Pennsylvania artist John Pomp are especially beautiful (we love the Infinity Pendant). johnpomp.com

ABOVE: The formal dining area, located in the great room, brings together city elegance (upholstered chairs), metal-age edge (the steel “Jules Verne X-ray” chandelier from San Francisco’s Coup D’Etat showroom) and modern art (the photograph by Robert Stivers depicts a bear). RIGHT: Even from the exterior, the home’s architecture feels more midcentury than mountain, despite its rustic palette of wood and stone.

A dining room in one of the Jay Jeffers-designed RitzCarlton Residences, Lake Tahoe, subtly nods to the High Sierra surroundings with the large whipstitch on the orange leather chairs and the chandelier’s frosted orbs. The “Snow Birds” painting by Daniel Jackson gives the black-and-white “Fuoco” photographic wallcovering by Trove a wintry feel.

San Francisco designer Jay Jeffers to outfit a few of its new luxury residences—a sort of “Million Dollar Decorators” version of home staging—the owners had just one unwavering guideline: “We wanted the furnishings to be so beautiful, people would be tempted to steal them,” says Stuart Cramer, president of the Kennedy Wilson residential investment group, which owns the property. Naturally, this kind of modus operandi is a designer’s dream. However, to appeal to the Ritz’s desired demographic—young active families who would make use of the slopes right outside their

door—going the route of rustic mountain lodges felt a bit too traditional. “We went for understated elegance and lots of cool factor,” Jeffers says. The designer decked out the three model units—sun-bright rooms with 20-foot ceilings and IMAX-quality views of the Sierra Crest and Martis Valley—with graceful upholstered seating, contemporary wool rugs (no bear skins) and industrial lighting (chains and orbs, no rawhide lampshades). “Cool factor” took the form of, among other things, wallpaper by Andrew Martin that cheekily depicts >> CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: The Compass chandelier by Apparatus is a sleek counterpoint to the dining room’s curvy chairs.

a stack of firewood and chalkboard walls emblazoned with fun campfire sketches. The color palette isn’t typically of-themountain, either: Gray, rather than brown or beige, was the baseline neutral (“It works better with Tahoe light,” explains the designer), with vibrant interjections of red and orange. True to Cramer’s wishes, everything— from the modern art on loan from Dolby Chadwick Gallery in San Francisco to the striking charred-wood coffee tables to the design ideas themselves—is worthy of thievery. So far, nearly 40 percent of the residences have sold, which isn’t too shabby >> TOP: Philip Gorrivan furnished a dining space at the Montage Residences Deer Valley with a generous upholstered banquette and oversize black-and-white prints of old whiskey bottles.

Gorrivan chose these bronze light fixtures for the master suite “to give the effect of being under the boughs of trees in the mountains.” While the leather club chairs from Baker are classic lodge furnishings, the color-saturated bedding unexpectedly evokes the midnight sky, especially in combination with the branch chandeliers—the twinkling bulbs could inspire some real stargazing.

Slifer Designs opted for a jewel-tone palette of jade green and gold for their model residence at the Four Seasons in Vail. A gallery wall in the dining room features art and photography curated to appeal to the well-traveled buyer. From the trio of brass occasional tables to the velvet wingback chair, the eclectic look conjures a Moroccan diplomat’s residence rather than a mountain home. 118

on what they dubbed a “high-altitude chic” space. “And designers have an opportunity to showcase their work to a larger audience with the hope that more opportunities develop in the future.” In this case, Gorrivan got his wish. Within weeks of completing the design—think East Coast sophistication (classic furniture silhouettes, grown-up color scheme) meets the western frontier (Hopi prints in the family room, cactus wallpaper in the master bath)—the home sold to a Los Angeles family, who subsequently hired Gorrivan to infuse the space with their personal touches. Jeffers, too, has signed on new clients who admired his work at the Ritz. Liza Salowey, marketing manager at the Montage Residences Deer Valley, isn’t surprised. “Buyers are moving away from the ‘lodge’ standard of snowshoes mounted on the wall,” she says. “The designer approach ensures the home is one of a kind.” o

wconsidering the 23 units, priced from $1.25 million to $5 million, were placed on the market within the last year. “Jeffers’ residences represent an evolutionary change in the industry,” says Cramer. To wit, designer tableaus are popping up in luxury resorts all over the country. Eddy Doumas of Avon, Colorado-based Worth Interiors put his touch on the Ritz-Carlton Residences in Vail, and awardwinning Slifer Designs in Edwards, Colorado, primped a space at the Four Seasons Private Residences, also in Vail. The relationship between hotel and designer is a symbiotic one, notes New York- and London-based designer Philip Gorrivan, whose work can be seen at the Montage Residences in Deer Valley, Utah. “The hotels benefit from the alchemy that designers can create,” explains Gorrivan, who collaborated with Ali Pincus, co-founder of the home-design flash sale website One Kings Lane,
