Architecture and Built Elements • Rooted in tradition • Primary materials are natural (stone, timber) though some “contemporary” or industrial materials can be incorporated into elements (galvanized or rusted metal, concrete) • Earth tones are predominant • Feels appropriate to a mountain town • Timeless Colorado (not “farm” or “ranch” Colorado) • Emphasis on craftsmanship and quality in the details
Character of the Place • Exudes warmth, comfort and simplicity • Sense of inclusion and attainability • Quality over Quantity (size, materials) • Convenient to “Old Town Steamboat” • Comfort of an “Old Town” home updated with current amenities and more living space • Take advantage of the views of the valley and the mountains
