Tucker Johnson Architects has designed this spectacular midcentury modern mountain house located in the hills above historic downtown Evergreen, just west of Denver, Colorado. Spread out over a single level, this 3,000 square foot family home was designed to respect its .66 acre site and neighboring homes.
This budget-minded residence features an abundance of glazing, which was an effort to honor the surrounding views and to invite the outside in. The ceiling heights provide intimacy while maintaining responsible energy requirements to condition. The eaves extend out and mass was created, which lends a respectful nod to passive design.

Materials were restrained in an intentional effort to weave a fabric of consistency. Color and texture were emphasized. Rich, mahogany-stained vertical grain hemlock serves as the primary material. Detailing of the siding is articulated in two different ways with traditional tongue-and-groove being texturally complemented by rain screen.
The dwelling is grounded to the landscape by concrete foundation walls, a ground face CMU wall anchoring the deck, and a massive ground face CMU fireplace. Earthy bronze metal provides a stitching detail to the home’s exteriors. A curated selection of materials allowed for a more singular and cohesive focus.
What We Love: This midcentury modern mountain house offers clean lines and simple details for relaxed living. A wonderful indoor-outdoor experience is enjoyed in this light-filled home, encouraging spending more time in the great outdoors. We are loving the overall aesthetics of this dwelling and how it takes advantage of its magnificent natural surroundings.
