Aspen Residence

Nestled into the hills with sweeping views toward the renown ski slopes of Aspen, this home frames ever-changing views of lush greenery and snow covered peaks that alternate with the seasons. The home’s north south axis affords maximum view and privacy while a panoramic view to the west is enhanced by a vast reflecting pool/roof which eclipses one’s view of nearby homes, giving a sense of having the mountain to one’s self.

Floors and ceilings shift and adapt subtly to both topography and views, creating a rich three-dimensional layering of interior spaces reminiscent of the spatial etchings of 18th century Italian Artist, Giovanni Piranesi.

Dark ebonized wood, textured concrete, and stone masonry clad the vertical surfaces of the house, while the infinity-edge lap pool and a reflecting pool roof are disguised as abstract horizontal planes that mirror the panoramic views deep into the living spaces and pair reflection with reality.
