Charles Cunniffe Architects is responsible for the design of this luxurious mountain getaway that is perched on a windswept rocky mountainside above Aspen, Colorado. The exquisite interiors reflect a unique blend of Art Deco with clean contemporary detailing along with 36 species of wood.

The challenge began when the Florida-based owners commissioned the architects to responsibly deconstruct much of the existing house, and design a home that fused art-deco and contemporary mountain-modern design.

A double glass pivot door creates a warm and welcoming entry into this home. Particularly useful on cold winter nights, and equally as gorgeous on a summer day. The coat closet is surrounded by dry-stacked stone and the wood ceiling grounds the space, while floor-to-ceiling glass leaves you surrounded by nature.

The project team was careful to subtly instill inspiration in parts of the home without overdoing it. As the home cascades down the mountainside, its essence permeates the site and creates a wonderful entertaining home.

Custom-designed wood-inlay doors are seen throughout this luxury mountain retreat, to further infuse the design inspiration.

The site provided a very narrow building envelope spread out over three levels. To access each level is this spectacular glass and steel elevator with cascading wood staircase.

Expansive walls of glass capture views of Independence Pass and McFarland’s Gulch while a massive structural glass skylight floods the upper level with natural light.

Above: This masculine home office features a marble fireplace, Armani desk, Christian Liagre table with Donghia chairs, and Studio Van Den Akker light fixtures to top it off. Large windows frame mountain views while bringing in an abundance of natural light. There is also access to an outdoor terrace.

There are three guest suites in this luxury mountain retreat — each distinctly different and honoring the owners’ wish for hotel-style suites for their many houseguests. By differing the room configurations, wall and ceiling angles, window designs, and material and lighting selections – each room has a magic of its own.

Above: This guest room offers sheer serenity with pops of green. The window wall looks out to the lush landscape.

The garage is home to pocketing doors, a second laundry, and accessories for all the family’s toys.

The exterior design of this Colorado mountain getaway pays homage to the surrounding mountain vistas, with varying roof angles, and the use of stone and wood. Massive floor-to-ceiling windows capture the unique views of famed Independence Pass and Aspen Mountain.

The landscape features two large ponds connected by a winding stream course and a waterfall. Rock walls and boulder features ground the property into its natural setting.
