Situated in the natural landscape of the Cascade Mountains, this residence utilizes various influences and inspirations from the surrounding setting and rich coal mining history.  The arrangement of the simple shed roofs creates a complex patchwork of efficient design to efficiently shed annual snow accumulation, but also to maximize the visibility to the surrounding territory and the mountains beyond.  The seclusion of this home allows the vaulted ceilings to take advantage of spectacular views without having to sacrifice a high degree of privacy. The use of warm wood tones along with refined industrial steel accents, and rustic stone, brings a contrasting balance to add to this mountain getaway’s simple yet elegant design that nestles it into the surrounding natural features.
