Owner inspired and maintenance free
For this low-upkeep mountain home the architect was as much facilitator as dreamer-upper – the owners came from construction and design backgrounds
Designed by Jess Pedersen Architecture
From the architects:
In designing a custom home, the architect and owners bring something unique to the process and outcome.
This relationship is most effective when the architect listens and understands the homeowner’s needs and vice versa – to translate into the final design.
What was unique about this design and ultimate build was that the owners came to Pedersen Architecture (PA) with an interior design and construction background.
PA took the approach of assisting the owners in designing their dream home as an architectural facilitator.
This 240m² house is situated at the top of a steep cedar and juniper-covered hillside.
The upper-level houses the living, kitchen, dining area, and master suite, allowing the residents to peer through the tree canopy with glimpses of a sea of mountains on the horizon.
The lower level has a garage, laundry room, bathroom, and two bedrooms – serving as their studio/ office space.
The house is clad in stunning black corrugated metal siding, allowing maintenance-free and fire-resistant living.
