This gorgeous rustic modern mountain retreat was designed by Method ProDesign in collaboration with Veritas Fine Homes, nestled along the banks of the Florida River in Durango, Colorado. The strongest feature of this design is the passage of natural sunlight through every space in the home.

The grand hall with clerestory windows and the glazed connection bridge from the primary garage to the owner’s foyer align with the dramatic lighting to allow this home to glow both day and night. This light is influenced and inspired by the evergreen forest on the banks of the Florida River.

The goal was to organically showcase warm tones, textures, and movement.  To do this, the surfaces featured are walnut floors, walnut grain matched cabinets, walnut banding, and casework along with other wood accents such as live edge countertops, dining table, and benches. To further play with an organic feel, thickened edge Michelangelo Quartzite Countertops are at home in the kitchen and baths.

This home was created to entertain a large family while providing ample storage for toys and recreational vehicles. Between the two oversized garages, one with an upper game room, the generous riverbank laws, multiple patios, the outdoor kitchen pavilion, and the “river” bath, this home is both private and welcoming to family and friends…a true entertaining retreat.
