This contemporary mountaintop home was designed to maximize views of the distant peaks byย Charles Cunniffe Architects, located in Aspen, Colorado. The masterfully crafted residence is nestled high on top of a mountain, where the architect set the positioning of the home to perfectly frameย Pyramid Peak. An open concept floorplan was designed for fluid movement and entertaining guests. Theย interiorsย serve as a backdrop for the homeowner’s uniqueย art collection.

The exterior facade showcases dry stacked sandstone punctuated by floor-to-ceiling butt jointed glass windows and complimented by a copper roof. The interiors of this mountain home are visually striking. Beginning with the cedar beams, extending from the inviting entryway to the great room and all the way to the exterior of the structure. The flooring throughout featuresย richly hued quarter-sawn cherry hardwood.
