This Colorado Springs home by All About Home Design offers the feeling of living in a year-round retreat, blending historic mining architecture with a contemporary, streamlined design. When designing this gorgeous retreat, the designer looked to the past for inspiration, then stepped forward and took a giant leap of imagination. The result is mining-inspired architecture reinterpreted with a contemporary twist.

Set to capture the breathtaking surroundings and honor the area’s natural landscape, living in this home feels like “being on vacation” all year round. Cross the bridge to the front door and step inside this 3,382-square-foot, four-bedroom, four-bathroom home. You will find rooms that harmoniously flow from one to another, providing generous spaces for family and friends to gather and grow together.

Industrial design details mixes with the colors and lines of Country French to create a feeling of warmth and vibrancy from the main living areas, through the bedrooms and work areas including a prep kitchen and homework room, to the Guest Cottage suite with its own living and kitchen spaces.

Reminiscent of a time when life was simpler and full of joy, this idyllic family home represents “comfort food”: a feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment.

What We Love: This mining inspired house design offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere thanks to wood floorings and layers of texture. Timeless in its design style, this is a home that turns family gatherings into family traditions with friends that will never wish to leave… courtesy of that incredible cottage guest suite! We think the exterior facade is absolute perfection — drawing from traditional vernacular mining structures of the region.

Note: Have a look at a couple of our favorite home tours that we have featured from the portfolio of the project team responsible for the design of this home: Urban farmhouse exudes a refreshingly chic style in the Rocky Mountains and Cottage style home showcases drool-worthy interiors in Colorado Springs.

The beautiful interiors feature wood floors with a vintage patina, decades-old beetle-kill ceiling beams and lavish uses of white woodwork and shiplap. The styles of furnishings are updated Country French with touches of industrial chic. Striking and sumptuous fabrics adorn black-framed windows. Furniture, accessories, and art add layers of color with an emphasis on cobalt blue and marigold yellow.
