ml | editor’s letter

estern architects, designers and homeowners are always finding creative ways to blur the boundaries between indoors and out. Sometimes the barriers are literal, like the walls of glass in a Boulder, Colorado, home (on page 114) that slide open to connect almost every living space with an adjacent porch or patio. Other times, the connections between manmade and natural environments are more subtle. In Jackson, Wyoming, architects Tom Ward and Mitch Blake use sod roofs to “bring architecture into a dialogue with the land” (see page 66). There’s an art to letting the outdoors in when you want it—and keeping it out when you don’t—and many of the striking architectural details you’ll see in this issue were designed to do just that. You’ll find a beautiful example on page 128, in a home on a windswept meadow in the shadow of the Teton Range, designed by Wyoming architect Eric Logan. Here, roofs tilt upward to capture views and daylight while broad overhangs taper to thin brims that protect the trio of buildings from harsh weather. Even the structures themselves were positioned to wrap around a south-facing courtyard, creating a warm refuge for outdoor living during Wyoming’s short summers. The architecture of summer—those homes that celebrate a life lived outdoors—isn’t about making a big statement. It’s about creating a backdrop from which to experience the landscape. Here in the high country, that landscape is pretty extraordinary, and we shouldn’t have to turn our backs on it when we’re in our homes. Best wishes,

ON MY MIND THIS MONTH...

French bistro chairs. There’s a reason they’ve long been the chairs of choice for Parisian cafés. Made from durable rattan, they stand up to heavy wear and the dreariest drizzle. Perfect for the porch of a high-country home, they’ll look just as great at the breakfast table come winter. Try americancountryhomestore.com for the real thing in a variety of weaves and colors.

OUTDOOR ART

Studying a site’s historical documents, collaborating with architects and landscape designers, winging to China and Italy to handpick raw material—these are the measures Richard Deutsch takes to create his works, which are careful studies of their environments, from civic centers to residential landscapes.

Studies in community development and European travel inspire artist Andy Dufford to create works—majestic stone totems, artful hardscape elements, sculpted stone plazas— that invite observers into the story of a place.

: ) 6 , - 4 4 2 7 0 6 ; 7 6 ) 1 ) On behalf of Mountain to Mesa Home Builders Association (M2M), we are pleased to be a part of bringing you the 2011 Roaring Fork Valley Parade of Homes and Home and Garden Show. It is through our partnerships with organizations like Mountain Living magazine that we are able to meet M2M’s goals of bringing exposure, advocacy, and education to the individuals in our industry that make Aspen to Parachute their home. M2M is focused on meeting the needs of all disciplines involved in home building in our territory (Aspen to Parachute). Whether it is monitoring legislation that will affect us, and advocating our collective positions, or providing “Green Building” classes through our partnership with Colorado Mountain College, we continually strive to ask our members what is missing, and then look to fill the gaps. Our affiliation with the National Association of Home Builders and the Colorado Association of Home Builders, provides our members with multiple advantages including the ability to access discounted insurance rates. On December 2nd, we are holding our third annual GreenThink Symposium. This all started with asking ourselves, what education is missing locally for our builders, architects and subcontractors on sustainable building. GreenThink 2011 will again focus on the technology, legislation, and finances of building green. The home building industry has changed in the past few years. It is more competitive, skilled labor is harder to come by, and our customers continue to be more educated and demanding. I urge you to join us and our available local networks that are working to support you and your success. Sincerely,

Randell Johnson, AIA Mountain to Mesa Home Builders Association President

Mountain to Mesa Home Builders Association, Eagle Valley Home Builders Association and a member of CAHB’s Executive Committee, I work to help our members take advantage of the opportunities that HBA membership offers. Your membership includes a listing in Mountain Builder magazine as well as a subscription to NAHB’s Builder Magazine and discounts at the International Builders Show and other valuable trade shows. Membership in your local HBA also includes membership to the Colorado Association of Home Builders (CAHB) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). NAHB has played the role as “Consumer Guardian” since 1942, setting the standard for professional ethics, the latest building techniques, and professional resources for the building community. Now is the right time to become involved in your local Home Builders Association! I look forward to hearing from you and to getting to know you as a member of this prestigious professional organization. Sue Hibbs

8):),- +0)1: ,)>1, .17:- Mountain to Mesa Home Builders Association (M2M) is pleased to present the 1st Annual Roaring Fork Valley Parade of Homes and Home and Garden Show. M2M’s Parade objective is twofold: (1) evaluate the craftsmanship of homes on tour by an unbiased panel of judges from outside the territory who do not have a special interest or conﬂict on any home the judges are assessing; and (2) celebrate the craftsmanship with a ﬁrst class media sponsor who understands the unique attributes of mountain building. The Home and Garden Show provides an opportunity to showcase unique building products, crafts, and other exhibits of interest. The HGS is geared for homeowners and trade professionals and, thanks to the Town of Snowmass, there is fun for all ages at the Discovery Center adjacent to the show. Judges were recruited from around the State of Colorado who are builder/professional trade members from the Board of Directors of the Colorado Association of Home Builders (CAHB). M2M derives its charter from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and its members are part of CAHB and NAHB. NAHB has played a role as Consumer Guardian since 1942 setting the bench mark of professional standards. NAHB’s Home Builder Institute (HBI) is dedicated to advancing the quality of craft, education, and training programs bringing forward innovation and new building technology to its members and the general public. Homes on tour will be judged on a variety of factors focusing on craftsmanship, building standards, building systems, green building, building products, and other criteria. M2M, through Merging Rivers Media, publishes Mountain Builder–Aspen and Vail edition–with its sister organization Eagle Valley Home Builders Association. In 2011 M2M and Merging Rivers Media forged a partnership with Mountain Living magazine. Mountain Living is a key partner in this year’s event. The reach Mountain Living provides professionals in our territory was a natural marriage for M2M’s high altitude building professionals. In 2011, distribution of Mountain Builder through Mountain Living and local M2M sources exceeded 60,000 copies. We look forward to seeing you at the Home and Garden Show and on tour!

Private Home Tours featuring Chef Ted Cizma.

Cizma was recruited to Enchantment Group Spas and Resorts in Sedona, Arizona where he now directs their food and beverage services as Executive Chef.

There is no question that the Roaring Fork Valley is one of them and you don’t need Harry Potter’s wand to experience it! I can’t begin to tell you how many residents and visitors to the area have told me, “I feel like I’ve come home.” When it comes to being home, it’s a special pleasure for Mountain Living to be a part of the first annual Roaring Fork Valley Parade of Homes and Home & Garden Show. Aspen/Snowmass attracts cutting-edge architects, innovative builders, creative designers, realtors, and some of the world’s finest craftsmen whose goals are to create homes that epitomize luxurious comfort and functionality in both contemporary and traditional residences. From recently completed homes to the well-established, each property participating in our private and public events celebrates what it is to live in this beautiful valley. Many are located for ski-in/ ski-out convenience—always highly desirable—while others are focused on seclusion and privacy within our awe-inspiring landscape. You’ll see the latest in elegant materials and trends and discover fresh resources for custom artistry. All of these homes address the increasing importance of energy efficiency and sustainable practices. The exceptionally high caliber of creative imagination and experience among those related to our building industry leads to a high degree of competitiveness. The results benefit the community and the homeowner alike, raising the bar ever higher. Aspen/Snowmass is a four-season destination. Anyone who visits quickly sees that it’s not just about skiing, hiking, wilderness adventure or spiritual solitude. It’s about all of those and so much more. World-class shopping and dining, festivals, family fun, art and literature, paleontology, geology—and residents drawn from around the world—imbue the community with an unceasing and unique energy seldom found in one location. I join with our partners to invite everyone to participate in an event sure to become a highlight of the annual summer season. Dream your way home. Step into the magic!

,-;+:18<176 Aspen’s mountains and valleys are alive with the sound of music, and the views can stop you in your tracks. But beyond its worldclass outdoor activities, ultra-fine dining and shopping, many find a peace and serenity here long missing in the media-jammed chaos of the outside world. If you long for a sanctuary that can nurture your soul, this elegant contemporary home, filled with light, thoughtfully designed, and surrounded by award-winning landscaping will enchant you! Key architectural features include over 200 linear feet of rammed-earth wall, vertical rusted panels, sandblasted masonry block, and zinc roofing. Divided into a public zone, private master wing, and a separate guest/children’s wing, careful attention to detail has created comfortable, welcoming living spaces. An artfully orchestrated mix of lighting sources subtly emphasizes the home’s architecture, furnishings, and landscape, while the materials palette combines earthen tones and textures to echo its natural surroundings. Alongside premium finishes and luxurious accoutrements, furnishings complement the bold architecture yet retain the warmth of a real home.

Walls of sliding-glass panels open to a private courtyard complete with the quiet grace of an invisible-edge, Asian-style pool. The meandering grounds, framed by a Bruno Romeda sculpture, invite you to stroll among wide expanses of lawn, huge arcs of ﬂowers, and almost 100 cottonwood, spruce, Austrian pine, and maple trees.

Summer in Snowmass

1 6 ; 6 7 ? 5 ) ; ; > 1 4 4 ) / - + 7 4 7 : ) , 7 some things change and some things stay the same. As we host the very ﬁrst Roaring Fork Valley Parade of Homes and Home & Garden Show this summer, we’re reminded that the same majestic natural beauty that has existed since prehistoric times endures today. Millions of visitors attest that the yearround allure of Snowmass keeps them coming back for more. So much so that many vacationers chose to make their part-time home in Snowmass over the past forty years; as time goes on these same folks are transitioning to full time residents. There are many reasons why the magic of Snowmass takes hold of so many, and we’re excited to share them with you during this very special weekend in July. Mountain to Mesa Home Builder Association and Mountain Living magazine are partnering with us in Snowmass Tourism for the ﬁrst annual Roaring Fork Valley Parade of Homes and Home & Garden Show. The event welcomes visitors and residents to tour some of the area’s most handsome residences – featuring new construction and artfully executed remodels – with both complimentary and special ticketed, chef-catered private tours. Concurrent with the home tours, the Snowmass Mall will be the site of a free expo where architects, general contractors, product and service vendors of the building, home and garden industry will be on hand to share 10 ) 8=*41+)<176 7. 5-:/16/ :1>-:; 5-,1) 57=6<)16 *=14,-: 5)/)B16-

their expertise and offerings. Snowmass was an early adopter of sustainable construction practices, and its local and regional contractors are some of the best “green” builders in the nation. As thought leaders in this specialized area of construction, Mountain to Mesa Home Builder Association teaches and promotes these progressive practices to its members. Every visitor to the Parade of Homes and Home & Garden Show will have an opportunity to learn more about sustainable building and homes that support this lifestyle. With summer in full swing, there will be plenty more to enjoy in the Snowmass area July 15 through 17. From nature walks to single tracks, gondola rides to whitewater adventure, a free outdoor concert on July 14, a visit to historic Anderson Ranch Arts Center, the Treehouse Kids’ Adventure Center or a round of golf, there is a wealth of activities perfectly suited to your group or family. Our new Ice Age Discovery Center, next to Gene Taylor Sports on the Snowmass Mall, celebrates our now famous (and former) prehistoric residents: mastodons, mammoths , a giant sloth, ancient bison, deer, horses and even a camel. It’s why you’ll hear locals saying, “I Dig Snowmass.” Kids can visit this free and interactive venue during the Home & Garden Show and learn more about the Snowmass Ice Age dig site, the animals whose bones have been discovered, and the fascinating work of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science paleontologists.

The Parade of Homes and the Home & Garden Show celebrates quality, value, and enduring appeal, ideals that align perfectly with Snowmass. Please visit us during this ﬁrst-ever event in July to experience our amazing alpine setting, gracious homes and warm hospitality. Find out more at www.snowtourism.com.

A rugged stone wall begins at the driveway, continues through the entryway and on into the rooms beyond—a warm invitation to embrace nature’s bounty indoors and out. The home’s main level is accessed via a dramatic stairway with tempered glass guard rail and brushed steel accents. Walls of windows frame majestic mountain peaks, forested wilderness, and four ski areas. The open floor plan flows gracefully beneath coffered ceilings and timbered arches, flickering fireplaces offer a cozy haven on cold winter days, and the gourmet kitchen provides ample space to mingle with guests while preparing meals. Custom cabinetry figures prominently in several rooms, artfully mixing figured anigre with walnut inlays and accents, figured eucalyptus, and alder. Extending the home’s sense of space and luminosity,

Art Deco glass, etched-glass master bath surrounds, and glass block and mirrors allow light to echo from room to room. This is a property that opens itself to the joyful ambiance of the Snowmass/Aspen setting. It combines comfort and luxury with highly sought after elegance.

A series of sod roofs step down a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sloping, grassy site in Jackson, Wyoming, giving way to views of the Tetons in the distance. Although surrounding residences hewed to traditional Western lodge style, this design by Ward + Blake Architects met the subdivisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requirement of respecting the setting by using natural materials and blending the low-key structure into its environs.

PHOTO BY SUMMER MATTESON; FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE JACKSON HOLE HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND MUSEUM, 1958.0953.001

A hundred and thirty years ago, as pioneers spread across the northern Great Plains and into the Rockies, those who settled on treeless land had few options for building homes to shelter them from harsh winters and summer heat. But one material existed in abundance: sod. With tightly knit root systems as deep as 8 feet, America’s native amber waves of grain could be easily cut with basic farm tools, then formed into sturdy blocks used to build rudimentary walls that provided superb insulation. These sod houses were then topped with grasses that swayed in the wind. Affectionately called “soddies,” the dwellings soon gave way to more permanent residences evoking the styles of settlers’ homelands. But they were fondly remembered for the cozy, if often grimy and damp, comfort they provided, and sod has endured as a practical roofing material for some log cabins. Beginning in the 1970s, sod roofs enjoyed a comeback as part of a larger ecoconscious architectural movement spurred partly by the fuel crisis of 1973-1974 and partly by the growth of environmentalism. That revival led Tom Ward and Mitch Blake, both sons of the Rocky Mountain West, to begin exploring innovative ways to employ sod roofs when they formed Ward + Blake Architects in Jackson Hole in 1996. “Our desire,” explains Ward, “was to use sod roofs as a historic prototype that anchors architecture visually to its site and surroundings.” Adds Blake, “Advances in technology enabled us to make sod roofs happen in a smart way that eliminated the problems those early soddies had.” The result: beautiful, natural roofscapes that are moisture-proof, reduce water runoff, provide some energy benefits during summer months (see sidebar, opposite), and sometimes even provide rooftop outdoor living areas. “After the wet spring we’ve had [in Jackson] this year,” says Ward, “you wouldn’t believe the lush, ripe-looking, knee-high grasses on some of the roofs we’ve planted. In the fall, they’ll go golden. These roofs add a dynamic component to the structure that changes with the seasons.” ● ABOVE: In an early-1900s photo, Jackson resident Edith Sargent fiddles outside a sod-roof-topped cabin built by her husband, John, on the northern end of Jackson Lake. RIGHT: Sod roofs help blend the manmade into the landscape at one of nine private villas designed by Ward + Blake Architects at Jackson’s Amangani Resort.

ML | August 2011

MODERN “SODDIES,” DEMYSTIFIED Contrary to popular belief, modern sod roofs don’t contribute much to HOME INSULATION. While they offer some thermal mass properties, those designed by Ward + Blake are just 8 to 12 inches thick and employ a blend of soil and perlite beads that’s 30 percent lighter than ordinary soil, so they don’t have significant thermal mass. They also must be isolated from home heating systems, which could kill off grasses during winter. During summer, the extra vegetation does reduce the overall ambient temperature surrounding the structure. For a leak-free sod roof,

CAREFUL INSTALLATION is essential. Before the sod is added, a waterproof membrane is laid down. Most problems result from improper care in that process, such as micropunctures from nails, tools or boots. Planted with native grasses, sod roofs are LOW MAINTENANCE, requiring just “an annual weed-whacking in the fall,” says Ward. For more color, they can be sown annually with native wildflowers. But, left to its own devices, the roof will revert to native grass. Depending on the environment and plants used, sod roofs may require some IRRIGATION, especially in climates where perennial plants would need a little water to help them get going come spring. Drip-irrigation systems work just fine. And, clog-free drains built into the roof can direct irrigation and rainwater from the roof to landscaping surrounding the house.

FEATURED ARTIST Dwayne Harty is one of North America’s leading wildlife artists. The artist in residence at the Murie Center in Grand Teton National Park and the Jackson Hole Art Association, with a studio at the Community Center for the Arts of Jackson Hole in 2010, he has just completed three years of wildlife ﬁeld studies from Wyoming to the Canadian north as part of the major exhibition: “Yellowstone to Yukon: the Journey of Wildlife and Art” mounted in collaboration with Jackson’s National Museum of Wildlife Art, the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies and the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative.

Dwayne is a gifted ﬁeld study painter who brings his plein air sketches made while horse-packing, hiking or rafting in the wilderness back to his studio for the preparation of major paintings. He was formally trained at the Arts Student’s League in New York City and mentored by three of the 20th century’s important wildlife artists: Bob Kuhn, Robert Lougheed and Clarence Tillenius. He has a particular gift for capturing the subtle colors found in nature and the natural behaviors of animals in all their moods. His ability to paint animals in their habitats has led to commissions to paint dioramas for several major museums and park interpretive centers. Dwayne has the trained eye of a scholar and an impressionist’s touch, which he developed by traveling to Europe to study the work of the great Bruno Liljefors, and by following the footsteps and canvasses of North America’s great wildlife artist Carl Rungius from Yellowstone to Yukon.

will take place September 8 through 11 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, one of the nation’s largest traditional art markets. The juried show features 100+ artists who have successfully competed for invitations to showcase their works. These talented artists and craftspeople bring unique qualities and interpretations to Western design, creating original and innovative pieces of functional art that are not mass-produced. This type of work is valued by collectors and designers worldwide, many of whom will attend the conference.

“The artists, artisans and designers chosen to participate in the Western Design Conference truly are the best in their ﬁeld, whether they work in wood, metal, fabric or another medium,” says conference director Nancy McCullough-McCoy.

The Western Design Conference will continue its tradition of providing artisans, exhibitors and patrons an unparalleled experience in Jackson Hole. Hosted by Teton Home and Living magazine, the conference brings together craftspeople, collectors, interior designers, architects and

The conference’s Exhibition and Sale showcases contemporary crafts that highlight artistic Western traditions, including such inﬂuences as Adirondack, Rustic, Lodge, Asian, Hispanic, Southwestern, Native American and Modern. All artists selected for the show will exhibit their work in a gallery-style pedestal display. All pieces displayed are handmade in the United States or Canada (mass-produced or imported items do not qualify for the juried show).

According to Allison Merritt, the Western Design Conference event manager, “The energy building up in anticipation of this nationally recognized event is invigorating to all involved, but it especially excites the artists who work all year to create a one-of-a-kind piece to display.” Merritt says that a brightly colored pair of handmade cowboy boots, a book-matched maple coffee table, and a handcrafted wrought-iron garden bench are a few of the creations currently in the works to be shown this fall in the Pavilion at Snow King Resort. “I’ve received countless calls from artists telling me that not only are they extremely happy to have made it through the jury process, but now they’re working on a piece to win Best in Show. This is really going to be a great exhibit and sale.”

The conference and exhibition will take place at the Pavilion at Snow King Resort from September 9 through 11. The alwayspopular Western Design Conference Fashion Show lights up the runway Thursday, September 8, at the Center for the Arts in downtown Jackson. Kicking off the Gala Event will be a live model Jewelry Show and country music entertainment. The conference is a signature event of the 26th annual Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival, taking place September 8 through 18, 2011.

The Western Design Conference is produced in Jackson Hole by Nancy McCullough-McCoy, publisher of Teton Home

and Living, Teton Valley Magazine, and A Grand Wedding and Event Planner; and by Kevin Olson, associate publisher of Jackson Hole News & Guide, Jackson Hole Daily, Jackson

“When you walk through this house, it feels like you’re walking outside,” homeowner Charly Rotermund says of her family’s contemporary mountain dwelling situated in a grove of aspens not far from the ski mountain in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. From the living room, views stretch to the southeast, through the trees and over a creek that flows in spring and summer, toward the mountain. In the kitchen, two-story windows frame views of a large ridge. And behind the freestanding bathtub in the master bathroom, windows face northeast toward the property’s in-ground swimming pool. The home’s connection with its surroundings is no accident. Rather, it’s the result of careful planning on the part of Rotermund, her husband Scott, and architects Brandt Vanderbosch and Rob Nadolny, of Steamboat Springs-based Vertical Arts Architecture, who collaborated closely with the homeowners to envision the 5,900-square-foot timber-frame home made of wood, stone and dramatic walls of glass. The family fell in love with Steamboat Springs back in 2005, when the then-Denver residents vacationed in the area. So they decided to purchase a 2.6-acre parcel of land in Steamboat’s Elkin Meadows development—just a few minutes from the ski slopes and a short drive from town—and build their own mountain home. “When we found this piece of property here in this meadow, we knew it would be a great place to raise our kids. It was a perfect fit for us,” Rotermund says. To create a home that celebrates its owners’ love for the mountains, the design team at Vertical Arts made views a priority. Throughout the house, fine-mullioned windows and doors from Hope’s Windows frame views of the landscape from every room. “The home is stunning, but the landscape is equally spectacular and we wanted to see it all,” Rotermund says. “The only thing separating us from the outdoors is these glass doors.” The indoor-outdoor connection is strengthened by a continuity of building materials. “The exterior patio’s bluestone floor flows into the home’s entryway and screened porch, and the same material is used around the pool,” explains Vanderbosch, principal at Vertical Arts. >> ABOVE: Family photographs adorn the buffet in the foyer just off the entryway.

connections to the exterior living spaces and the special environment we live in.” — Brandt Vanderbosch 111

“We tried to position the house to fit effortlessly into the site, maximize the views and also keep that feeling of being in the aspen grove.” — Brandt Vanderbosch

The screened porch was a special request from the homeowners. “My husband is from Connecticut and I’m from New York; they’re really popular where we come from,” Rotermund says. Doors lead to the porch from the covered exterior entry, the inside entryway and the covered patio, so traffic flows smoothly when the Rotermunds entertain. A built-in grill lets them barbecue outside year-round, and screens on three sides let cross breezes blow through even on the hottest days. “It’s really an extension of the house,” Rotermund says. Between the porch, the pool, the patios and decks, and the lawn on the south side of the house, the property offers plenty of opportunity for the family to get outdoors. “We never run out of places to go. In summer, we’re outside all the time—we eat out there, play out there. We only come inside to sleep,” Rotermund laughs. For the home’s interiors, Rotermund wanted to keep things sophisticated. “I just don’t like that ‘rustic mountain’ look,” she admits. “I didn’t want the house to be out of place, but I wanted it to have a modern flair.” The living spaces also had

to be kid-friendly. “It was built for the children, but we also wanted it to be refined,” says Rotermund. “We didn’t want a fussy house where they felt they couldn’t go in certain rooms.” Working with Steamboat Springs-based designer Kim Romick, of Romick’s Into the West, Rotermund chose furnishings and finishes that are comfortable yet elegant. For the kitchen, she selected honed white Carrara marble slabs for the countertops, polished marble subway tile for the backsplash, all-white Shaker-style cabinets, and espresso-stained wood for the base of the center island. Floors throughout are wide-plank stained walnut. The adjacent dining space features comfortable chairs and banquettes in a style Rotermund calls “upstate New York meets the mountains of Colorado.” “It’s eclectic,” Rotermund says of the mix. “The Ralph Lauren fabric on the banquettes feels a little bit coastal, and the leather wing chairs are a little bit Western—but still sophisticated. Each space in the house has a strong mountain feel, but it’s also a reflection of our personality: a little more refined, but still casual.” ●

The homeowners love the aspen grove on their property, so the architects preserved as much of it as possible. A creek runs across the property in spring and summer.

“The design was conceived as a threshold between the city and the mountain meadow,” architect E.J. Meade says of the LEED Gold-certified house. The dining area offers unobstructed views of the Flatirons beyond. The 11-foot ceiling height was dictated by Meade’s determination to preserve the ridge view throughout the main floor. FACING PAGE: The homeowner’s favorite spot on the property was preserved as an undisturbed grassy area above the patio.

Open House WHERE THE PLAINS MEET THE FOOTHILLS OF BOULDER, COLORADO, ARCHITECT E.J. MEADE DESIGNS A MODERN DWELLING IN CONCERT WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS

ARCHITECTURE BY ARCH11

After interviewing several architects to help them design a new home, a couple from Boulder, Colorado, invited several members from one of the front-running firms to visit the site. As the group settled for a picnic on a patch of lawn facing the Flatirons, the homeowner remarked, “This happens to be my favorite spot on the whole property.” “Then this is where we should not build the house,” replied architect E.J. Meade, principal of Boulder-based Arch11, Inc. Of this unexpected response, Meade explains, “I believe we should all have the restraint to preserve the best places.” The architect’s design philosophy resonated with his prospective clients. “We felt like we really communicated,” the homeowner says. “From that point on, Arch11 worked collaboratively with us and always treated us like part of the team.” Despite its great views and location, the lot presented numerous challenges: an irregular, triangular shape, strict height restrictions from the city of Boulder, several easements, and a wetlands buffer zone and solar shadow restrictions that had to be respected. So Meade and his team created a computer model of the available envelope, taking the physical and regulatory limitations of the site into account. With the space mapped out, they began honing the design of the house. “The homeowners love the outdoors, and they wanted a gateway between their town life and the mountains,” Meade says. “Initially, we talked more about the rituals of their life than about specific building features, because I wanted their house to foster the way they live day to day.” After an old, unsalvageable A-frame that sat on the site was dismantled, Boulder builder Hammerwell, Inc. began constructing the new home. “The process was technically complex,” Meade says. “The structure is a series of steel frames designed to withstand 160mph winds. Unlike wood, you can’t shave steel down by a quarter inch if a measurement is off, so everything had to be precisely >> TOP LEFT: Architect Ken Andrews, project manager for the home, and Arch11 principal E.J.

GREEN BY DESIGN Although Meade applied for LEED certification almost as an afterthought, the building earned the coveted Gold status. Here, he highlights the home’s cutting-edge features:

SEAL IT UP “Sustainability starts with the envelope,” says Meade, who specified renewable-based Icynene spray-foam insulation throughout the home. “It lends structural capability to walls, prevents condensation, eliminates mold and deadens sound.” The thin, high-performing roof is composed of structural insulated panels.

SEE THE LIGHT “We utilized some of the highestperforming glass coatings on the market,” Meade says of the large expanses of windows throughout the home. West-facing windows were glazed to prevent the home from overheating in summer, while south-facing windows were glazed to allow solar heat gain during winter.

DIG DEEP A ground-loop heat-exchange system with seven 300-foot wells taps into the constant temperature of the earth for heating, cooling and hot water. A solar photovoltaic roof system drives the pump and generates electricity.

BREATHE IN Because this is such an airtight house, an energy recovery ventilator with multiple zones exchanges indoor air with fresh outdoor air.

GET SMART A smart house-control system ties everything together, allowing the homeowners to program and manage the home’s systems via computer—even remotely, if necessary.

118

“A home should last for centuries, not decades. Buildings that are truly sustainable are also durable and long-lasting.” — E.J. Meade

“The box is broken,” Meade says of the home’s main floor living area corner, where two sliding glass walls can be pushed away to completely open the space to the outdoors. The floors are honed bluestone. FACING PAGE: “The choice of stone was easy, because limestone is the homeowner’s favorite rock to climb on,” Meade says of the staircase, which he describes as “a series of solids floating in space.” The handrail appears to float above the transparent glass balustrades.

119

“Sustainability is implicit in what we do. We don’t describe ourselves as green architects any more than we call ourselves structural architects.” — E.J. Meade

“The kitchen is command central,” Meade says of the streamlined space, which features American Walnut cabinetry, high-tech appliances and a center island topped with a thick slab of Carrara marble. The aluminum- and glass-faced cabinets retract to reveal an appliance garage that helps keep counter surfaces uncluttered.

shop-fabricated and erected on the site.” The site’s proximity to the mountains added an additional challenge when the excavation crew encountered boulders “the size of a pickup truck,” according to Meade. “The project required extraordinary attention to sequencing.” The finished 4,500-square-foot home is grounded by a spacious two-story living area with abundant windows that connect the home to its natural setting. “We wanted to weave the inside with the outside by placing windows facing the views in as many areas as possible,” Meade says. “The high-performing roof allowed us to bring the glass right up to the ceiling.” The clean-lined kitchen—which has since won several major design awards—was configured so that the homeowners can always see the mountain ridgeline. A receding glass wall allows the room to open to—and the countertop to serve as an outdoor bar for— the adjacent open patio. “I love this corner of the house, where there’s so little distinction between inside and outside,” the homeowner says. “We have so many fine days here in Colorado, and we leave the windows and doors open every day we possibly can.” Leading up to the bedrooms, a sculptural steel-and-glass staircase features sustainable jarrah wood treads harkening to the husband’s Australian roots, while the Texas limestone wall is a nod to the wife’s passion for rock climbing. Retractable glass walls in the master bedroom embrace the sweeping landscape. A green roof planted with native grasses and wildflowers tops the garage, visually connecting it with the mountain meadow behind the house. And near the patio, the original grassy plain that the homeowner loved has been left untouched. “This house is so perfectly sited, we don’t even see the neighboring homes when we’re in the living spaces,” she says. “It’s amazing to live life every day with this connection to nature.” ● TOP LEFT: The LEED Gold-certified house was built using numerous innovative renewable energy systems and a sophisticated palette of enduring materials.

MONTANA MIX LANDSCAPE DESIGNER LINDA IVERSON COMBINES NATIVE PLANTINGS AND COLORFUL FLOWERS TO CREATE AN ELEGANT COTTAGE GARDEN IN BOZEMAN, MONTANA

Designer Stephanie Sandston, of Shack Up Studio, turned outdoor terraces into inviting living spaces. FACING PAGE: For the Bozeman, Montana, residence, landscape designer Linda Iverson created a decorative cottage-style garden that draws inspiration from its setting. She chose plantings in part to complement the reclaimed materials of the house, which was designed by Pearson Design Group.

“You can’t help but be inspired by the natural world when you’re in Montana. The landscape here is so big and so prominent,” says Linda Iverson, a landscape designer known for the varied terrains she has crafted with her signature light hand all across the Big Sky state. “No two projects are ever the same because of the diverse settings,” she says. But one project in particular stands out as a departure. When working for a family in Bozeman, Montana, Iverson was presented with a riverbottom property with ample water, a wide-open meadow and a dense grove of aspens. Her first thought was to create a meadow of native woodland plantings, but the client wanted something more sophisticated. “It was a wonderful chance to go beyond what I would normally do,” she says. Responding to her client’s wish for an elegant landscape that would offer brilliant blooms and cut flowers, Iverson created what she calls a “Montana cottage garden.” She looked to the colors and textures in the surrounding meadow as a starting point and brought in a mix of natives and ornamentals—including billowy flowers like peonies and hydrangeas, not often associated with Montana’s rustic setting. “I wanted the landscape to blend into the setting, but I also wanted to give it an artistic feel,” she explains. The clients’ residence provided additional inspiration. Designed by architect Larry Pearson of Pearson Design Group, the rustic structure, built from Montana moss rock and reclaimed barn wood, “is not a house you want to cover up,” says Iverson. “It’s a house you want to accent.” To complement the weathered materials of the home’s exterior, Iverson planted flowing beds around it, separated by lawns of soft fescue grass. “We wanted to echo the stone on the house,” she says, “so we used the same stone periodically throughout the garden’s edges.” As for the selection of plants, the choices were driven by the drastic seasonal shifts. “I’m very attentive to how a garden goes through the seasons,” says Iverson, who relied on red twig dogwoods, aspens and evergreens to stand up to the thick snow cover of winter and planted woodland bulbs to “help you wake up” in early spring. Summer’s white echinacea and tufted hairgrass make way for the riotous colors of autumn and its black-eyed Susans and woods blue aster. “This garden has a long season of blooming interest,” she notes. While flowering beds and spiky grasses mark the front of the property, the back of the house, sheltered by the aspen grove, provides the perfect spot for an outdoor living space. Iverson collaborated with Pearson on designing a flagstone terrace and low stone wall to define the area, and interior designer Stephanie Sandston, of Shack Up Studio, added the last layer. “I wanted to bring in some fanciful sculptural elements,” says Sandston, who created two distinct areas for gathering. An oversized marble-and-mahogany table, based on a French garden design from the 1600s, serves as a buffet for entertaining and provides a setting for Sandston’s seasonal decorative vignettes. Tucked into a curve of the stone wall, a concrete faux-bois dining set is paired with a modern rusted-steel Rais fireplace. “Both of the tables are outside year-round,” says Sandston. “Apart from being really useful, they’re also sculptural elements, which is very important in the dead of winter. They’re both pleasing and highly functional. It doesn’t get better than that.” ● LEFT: Sandston designed a large French-inspired table to use as the back terrace’s centerpiece. “It’s at a height where it can be a buffet for entertaining,” she says, “and I also use it to create vignettes that we change seasonally.” The compositions might feature the owner’s Bauer pottery in the summer or giant aspens during the holidays.

125

WHEN IN BLOOM “You’re able to do things in Bozeman that you can’t do in other parts of Montana,” Linda Iverson says of the city’s unique microclimate. “It gets more rain and has wonderful soil.” Iverson took advantage of these attributes—along with the client’s elegant vision—and used her go-to native plantings alongside ornamental species not often found in her landscapes. “I love natives and didn’t want the landscape to feel like it was somewhere else,” she explains, “but I also used a lot of ornamentals. We were able to stretch our boundaries.” Here, Iverson shares her top three plants from each category:

NATIVES

ORNAMENTALS

PRAIRIE SMOKE (Geum triflorum) One of the first flowers to bloom; soft, wispy seed-heads give this plant a long season of interest. We paired it with the ornamentals salva ‘May Night’ and white creeping phlox.

SIBERIAN IRIS ‘Caesars Brother’ (Iris sibirica) Its strong vertical foliage is maintained throughout the season, and we paired it with golden thyme for contrast and good “footing.”

PRAIRIE DROPSEED (Sporobolus heterolepis)

PEONY ‘Couronne d’Or’ (Paeonia ‘Couronne d’Or’) It has an exceptional fragrance and billowy white flowers. The perfect cut flower.

This plant is slow to green up in the spring but has a wonderful soft texture for most of the season. Even though it’s a prairie grass, it seems to tolerate rich garden conditions. BUSH CLEMATIS (Clematis integrifolia)

We planted these velvety blue-violet nodding flowers near the aspens along with columbines and globeflower.

126

SPIREA ‘Halward’s Silver’ (Spiraea nipponica) A great shrub for low-light areas of the garden. The fine-textured foliage makes a great backdrop for big-leaf geraniums.

CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE: An open breezeway marks the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrance. Small purple coneflower blooms add a punch of color. Bluestone pavers create a casual pathway to the house. Spiky gayfeathers peek out among tufted hairgrass. The ranch property is also home to cattle and horses. Planted succulents add texture to a table on the terrace.

127

Architect Eric Logan designed an “aircraft-carrier-esque” roofline that extends west from the home’s central pavilion toward a pond and wetlands on the property’s edge. Beyond is Wyoming’s spectacular Teton Range. A cast-in-concrete fireplace chimney anchors the bold roofline, adding to the home’s modern spirit. Inside, the living room glows.

ON A SPECTACULAR SITE, A WYOMING HOME NODS TO TRADITION, EMBRACES MODERNITY AND BASKS IN THE SUN

LIGHT BRIGHT

STORY BY HILARY MASELL OSWALD

PHOTOGRAPHY BY MATTHEW MILLMAN 129

t the base of Teton Pass in Wilson, Wyoming, architect Eric Logan found a unique challenge: design a home that marries traditional forms with a modern vibe and transforms Wyoming’s intense (if fickle) sunshine into a pleasant houseguest. The homeowners, a couple with three children, live in Wilson year-round; there would be no escaping to less capricious climes. “They were interested in light and bright spaces, and a simple materials palette,” says Logan, principal of Carney Logan Burke Architects in Jackson. “And they wanted something less traditional” than Jackson’s prevailing architecture. But the neighborhood’s relatively conservative design guidelines meant that Logan would need to get creative. First, he sited the home on an east-west axis on the 3.5-acre property to capture the most warmth and light from the sun. Then he and his team created a plan to divide the 6,500-square-foot home into three different building forms. In the center stands a one-story living pavilion topped by a broad roofline. This airy space is flanked by a pair of two-story “pods” with gabled rooflines set perpendicular to one another. One pod contains the children’s bedrooms, with the garage, mudroom and a wine storage space below them. In the other, the master suite tops guest quarters and a media room. The three forms surround an intimate, southfacing courtyard, ideal for dining al fresco. The strategy delivered a design victory: The front of the home suits the neighborhood’s traditional bent, while the back satisfies the owners’ desire for a modern pedigree. Plus, “it allowed us to create narrower building forms that can deliver natural light and cross-ventilation more easily than a thick building would,” Logan says. The design also considers Wyoming’s wily weather, says landscape designer Mark Hershberger, principal of Jackson-based Hershberger Design. “We looked at the entire perimeter of the building and designed for outdoor living in different places at different times of day,” he explains. For example, when the sun is beating down on the southfacing courtyard, the family can lounge in the outdoor seating area on the north side. Hershberger’s team also found spaces for a shade garden, a kitchen garden, and even an expanse of bluegrass lawn for the children to play on. >>

“We deliberately set the built-ins off visually as objects,” architect Eric Logan says of the kitchen cabinets. Made of sapele wood, they contrast pleasantly with the light hickory floor. FACING PAGE, FROM LEFT: The living room is anchored by a cast-in-place fireplace chimney. Many of the room’s windows and doors open to the expansive west-facing outdoor space. The sculptural, open-riser staircase “was an opportunity to make something beautiful,” Logan says. “It becomes a lantern that filters light all day long.”

“Think about how you will live on the site, and

incorporate the landscape into the plans from the very beginning. You’ll feel the connection to the outdoors much more naturally that way.” — Mark Hershberger

Pare It Down: The Secret to a Perfect Palette To achieve a sophisticated, warm design, challenge yourself to limit your materials palette. “A little bit of everything never works,” Logan says. Here, a guide to the prevailing materials in this home: CEDAR SIDING If you just can’t commit to one exterior material, take a cue from this home and choose two types of siding made of the same material in the same stain. The difference is in the width and profile of the boards, giving subtle texture. CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE Choose one or two bold exterior elements (such as the cast-in-concrete chimney here) rather than many smaller ones. Concrete can add a strong, modern element, especially if you’ve chosen a more traditional exterior material, such as wood, as the predominant material. INTERIOR WOODS The kitchen cabinets and the shoji-inspired screen by the interior staircase were made from sapele, which is similar to (but more durable than) mahogany. The floor and stair treads are hickory; the ceiling, hemlock. By carefully editing the wood palette, Logan brought unity to the home’s interior spaces. GLASS Some of the larger panes of glass in this home don’t open. “They’re more abstract; they’re about the views and the light,” Logan says. Not all windows have to be operable, as long as the design allows for plenty of cross-ventilation.

ABOVE, FROM LEFT: An heirloom kimono feels less like a showpiece and more like a part of the home’s architecture thanks to a thoughtfully designed display area between the entry and living spaces. Architect Eric Logan tipped his hat to traditional architectural forms with the home’s gabled roofs, but his interpretation is playful: Notice the off-center ridge and slightly longer overhang on the right. The east-west axis and abundant glass help the home capture natural light and warmth.

“Our refined take on the materials palette was an attempt to achieve timelessness. The design should feel relevant today—and in the future.” —Eric Logan

But the most spectacular of the outdoor spaces is an extension of the home’s living room. The “aircraftcarrier-esque” roofline from the home’s central pavilion stretches west, toward a pond and wetlands on the property’s edge. The sitting area beneath is an ideal spot for viewing the wildlife attracted by the water. “Sitting there is all about the views and big, open spaces,” Logan says. Inside, the home responds to a view of a different sort: an heirloom kimono given to the homeowner by her father. “We had to place the kimono carefully; it needed to be prominent without becoming a trophy, like a buffalo head over the fireplace,” Logan explains. They chose a display area between the entry and the living spaces. “The kimono certainly influenced our thoughts during the development of the home’s interiors,” he adds. The interpretation is hardly literal. For example, the open-riser staircase off the entry is paired with a shojiinspired wooden screen. “We mirrored the materials palette used throughout the house and created a light, open staircase because the adjacent windows face south,” Logan says. The result is a horizontal pattern of light that plays on the stairs and floor below, changing as the sun moves. The horizontal glass forms in the front entry echo this pattern. “The entry—with the kimono and the glass and the staircase—is where you get dipped in the home’s identity,” Logan says. In the kitchen, the design team created a light, almost porous feel by setting the cabinets off as objects— what Logan calls “individual floating components”—instead of lining the walls with them. A frosted-glass cabinet floats over the kitchen island, hinting at the horizontal elements in other rooms, while the vertical grain of the sapele wood cabinets gives subtle contrast. The remaining elements are simple: smooth white plaster walls with matching baseboard to hide the millwork. Where it’s not plaster, the ceiling is covered in hemlock planks; the floor, in hickory. “When you choose a refined take on materials, the effect is timeless,” Logan says. “This home isn’t intended to be trendy or categorized in a style.” Just don’t tell the neighbors. ●

A spiral steel staircase leads from the children’s bedrooms to the intimate, south-facing courtyard. “It’s a sculptural piece that we designed to be seen from the courtyard and from within the house,” Logan says. FACING PAGE, FROM LEFT: The home’s interior palette—from finishes to furnishings—is warm and neutral, so as not to compete with the verdant views outside. The master bath’s floating vanity is made of the same FSC-certified sapele wood as the kitchen cabinets. The tile is from Sausalito, Calif.-based Heath Ceramics.
