This two-story contemporary mountain home was designed by Vertical Arts Architecture, located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The homeowner requested that the design of their 5,500 square foot home feel warm and cozy yet have a modern aesthetic. The architects achieved this through a combination of sloped and flat rooflines, timber and steel details, as well as a variety of siding materials.

On the interior, a voluminous great room features floor-to-ceiling windows that enable panoramic views of the surrounding mountains from all directions. The expanse of windows also makes the home feel bright and airy. Integrating walls of windows, as well as carefully placed glass, provides the indoor/outdoor living experience the homeowner desired.

Along with a spacious master bedroom suite and home office, the residence also showcases a three-car garage, wine room, family and game room, as well as three additional bedrooms.

What We Love: This contemporary mountain home features spectacular views from every direction, both indoors and out. The home offers a peaceful retreat to relax in comfort and style. We especially love the great room with its soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that perfectly frames the mountain range beyond. The backyard patio is pretty spectacular as well, with a relaxing water feature and outdoor fire pit to enjoy while breathing in the fresh mountain air.
