This amazing mountain modern home was designed by Robbins Architecture, nestled within eighty-nine acres of ranch land and surrounded by the majestic Rocky Mountains, in Aspen, Colorado. This home responds to its site with a sweeping, modern design. The architects sought to incorporate the landscape into the home, balancing the strength and permanence of the mountains with the elegance and serenity of the wild grasses blanketing the beautiful valleys.

Large expanses of glass wrap the home to introduce light and create a seamless connection between inside and out. On the interior, a series of luminous spaces gracefully flow into one another, gradually breaking down the scale of the site. Carefully selected materials makes this modern home feel warm and inviting.
What We Love: This fabulous mountain modern home showcases bright and airy living spaces thanks to expansive walls of glass and soaring ceilings. The glass helps to blur the lines between indoors and out, inviting the surrounding rugged landscape inside. The view of the mountains throughout the interiors helps to create a tranquil atmosphere, softening the lines of this otherwise modern dwelling… Readers, please share your overall thoughts on the design of this home in the Rocky Mountains.
