Rustic Colorado mountain home offers refined contemporary interiors

rustic-entry

This elegant expression of a modern western style home combines a rustic regional exterior with a refined contemporary interior, located in Cherry Hills Village a suburb of Denver, Colorado. Encompassing 9,000 square feet of living space, this home was designed by architecture studioย Ekman Design Studioย with interiors byย Comstock Designย and constructed byย Cadre General Contractors.

The homeownerโ€™s private art collection is embraced by a combination of modern steel trusses, stonework and traditional timber beams. Generous expanses of glass allow for view corridors of the mountains to the west, open space wetlands towards the south and the adjacent horse pasture on the east.

What We Love:ย Showcasing exquisite custom details throughout, this beautiful mountain home is warm and inviting. From its rustic exterior, this home is very approachable, opening up to a contemporary interior. The heavy use of stone and wood on both the exterior and interior helps to add a cozy feel; while the home’s surroundings creates a peaceful atmosphere, which is invited inside thanks to large windows throughout.
