This impressive contemporary mountain home was designed for a family of five by Rowland+Broughton Architecture and is nestled on a single-acre, cliffside property in Aspen, Colorado. Boasting sweeping mountain and valley vistas, this five-bedroom, 8,250 square-foot family home embraces the concept of Bagua, an organizing element of Feng Shui that helps determine spatial relationships and encourages energy, balance, and flow.

The entry sequence begins through an open steel gate and continues into a garden courtyard, where weathered flagstone and vertical cedar plank walls are punctuated by expanses of windows that blur lines between indoors and out. An over-scaled, custom wood door provides entry into the house. Continue below to see the rest of this sensational home…

Throughout the home, interior design focuses on combining soft textural finishes, natural materials, well-scaled furnishings, and curated artwork. A combination of active and passive energy systems, including a 70-panel photovoltaic array, extensive daylighting and glazing, and motorized clerestory windows, ensures the home is as sustainable and efficient as possible.

What We Love: The project team did a wonderful job of creating a mountain home with a serene and harmonious sense of place. Throughout this home, expansive walls of glazing bring in an abundance of natural light while also framing views of the magnificent surroundings. There is a fabulous indoor-outdoor flow in this home and the stylish furnishings make it perfect for entertaining. We especially love the overall relaxed living environment that this home offers, a feeling of calm and peacefulness, from the architecture to the landscaping.

Inside, flow transitions from double-height spaces, including an open living and dining great room, to more intimate spaces accessed through light-filled corridors. Views and outdoor living areas are captured and accessed via floor-to-ceiling, steel-framed windows and doors, and clerestory windows allow an influx of additional light in the center volume.

Purposefully smaller in size and designed primarily for sleeping, family bedrooms adjoin a communal “kid’s corner,” which encourages interaction and play. The master suite was discretely designed to facilitate health and well-being.

Custom hot yoga and exercise rooms adjoin the space, which opens directly to a 75-foot-long, all-season lap pool.

Above: The lap pool is conveniently located just off the owner’s bedroom suite, perfect for these exercise-loving homeowners.
