Vertical Arts Architecture is responsible for the design of this stunning modern industrial farmhouse located in downtown Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This home was designed for a family with four children and three fur children seeking closer connection to the great outdoors and ease of commuting in this spirited mountain town.
The design melds the individual styles of the homeowners: A general contractor with a love of modernism, concrete and metal; and his wife who loves all things shiplap and farmhouse-inspired. In fact, the first design element selected for this dwelling was a hand-painted, terra cotta tile selected by her for the master bath’s shower. Collaboration on every material and every level of this three-story house ensued.
At the top of the owner’s wish list was a kitchen in the heart of the home connecting to the backyard. The project team crafted a real showstopper by integrating a large, rooftop deck just off the kitchen that captures views of Emerald Mountain and the nearby Steamboat Ski Resort.
What We Love: This modern industrial farmhouse portrays a beautiful collaboration between the owners and the project team. There is a perfect balance between industrial finishes with soft surroundings, and modern lines with rustic materials. Overall, this home offers an atmosphere of comfort, warmth and a relentless sense of welcome for this active family of six to soak in Steamboat’s acclaimed indoor/outdoor lifestyle.

Note: Have a look at a couple of our most popular home tours that we have featured here on One Kindesign from the portfolio of the architects of this project, Vertical Arts Architecture.
A centerpiece of the home, the double-sided fireplace greets guests at the entrance and creates a cozy vibe for the open living space on the opposite side. The French farmhouse-inspired sandstone fireplace is complemented by the streamlined timber mantel and hot-rolled steel above it.
More modern industrial finishes include black metal framed doors and concrete flooring with a smooth diamond grind on the main floor, and hand-troweled texture on the upper level.
The kitchen is flanked by partial-height walls, floating shelving and suspended cabinetry blocks that provide space for appliances and storage while affording open views open in all directions.
The maple-and-metal bar top allows enough space for all six family members to enjoy a casual meal in the kitchen.
The custom hanging wood and steel shelves and steel range hood allow the owners to look beyond the adjacent stairway and see the yard where their four kids often play.
The home’s remarkable interiors are highlighted by state-of-the-art bathrooms, featuring vanity tops that are stylish yet durable. In the master bath, quartz countertops complement rustic cabinets made from reclaimed wood. Black industrial sconces are tempered by a basket cloche hanging pendant from Stel House & Home.
White board-and-batten paneling is contrasted with fanciful features like the patchwork-style wood sliding barn doors (pictured below) fabricated by Twenty1Five and a colorfully patterned stair runner pieced together from 12 individual rugs.
The residence also features a semi-attached apartment perfect for visitors that’s connected to the main house with a shared terrace. Vertical Arts landscape architect Mitch Rewold developed a creative landscaping scheme to create fluidity throughout the hilly lot. He refocused a communal garden space with a cozy seating area and designed winding paths of Colorado Buff stone walkways to connect the yard’s gathering spaces.
