This inviting Colorado mountain refuge is inspired by Scandinavian design

This modern mountain refuge was designed as a family getaway by CCY Architects in collaboration with Key Elements Construction, nestled on an 11.76-acre property in Old Snowmass, Colorado. The retreat was inspired by the rugged simplicity and warmth of Scandinavian mountain cabins and their natural environments.

To promote seclusion and privacy, the structure was placed at the interior of the site, tucked in among existing aspen groves, scrub oaks, sage, and several large spruce trees. The dwelling is used as a base camp in the Rocky Mountains for family and guests to get outdoors.

Primary Materials
Weathered Cedar Siding, Shou Sugi Ban Cedar Siding, and Concrete

Spread out over 4,320 square feet, the house includes five bedrooms, one bunk room, and three-and-a-half bathrooms. The retreat was designed to live as a one-bedroom cabin for two when not entertaining family and friends. With flexible living spaces, it can easily host up to 14 people in the two-story guest wing, which can be closed off when not in use.

What We Love: This Colorado mountain refuge offers its inhabitants an opportunity to escape to the great outdoors for some fun adventures. The sleek design of the exterior facade melds into the landscape with a beautiful backdrop of the Colorado Rockies. On the interior, the living room fireplace would be the perfect gathering spot at the end of a long day of winter activities. We are especially loving the large picture windows framing the views and connecting the interiors with the magnificent landscape.

The interiors were designed to be quiet and natural. Scandinavian sensibilities can be found throughout the retreat, both in the owner’s furniture selections and the architect’s material palette and detailing.
