This gorgeous mountain house, designed by MA Studios, is situated in the Leland Creek subdivision in Winter Park, Colorado, and is in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. With a knack for curating vintage finds for their home, these owners have expressed their unique, eclectic design aesthetic in this well-appointed mountain getaway. The architects worked to incorporate quality hand-hewn timber and natural stone into the design, marrying the past with a contemporary mountain aesthetic.
The owners, a couple with two teenage daughters, have a knack for repurposing pieces in unexpected ways, such as using fence slats, farm signs, bedsprings, and turbines to give this home a cozy and one-of-a-kind look. Continue below to see the beautifully styled interiors and the creative details that make this retreat truly unforgettable.
DESIGN DETAILS: ARCHITECT MA Studios INTERIOR DESIGNER Samantha Robinson / Homeowner
Above: On the exterior facade, you will find a mix of weathered wood, rolled steel, and stone to make the home appear as if it has always been here. Using materials that are weathered or designed to weather can help make a house more low-maintenance in the extreme weather changes that this region sees.
What We Love About This Home
The mix of old and new throughout this home is stunning, with vintage materials repurposed into a more modern design. We are loving the mix of weathered wood, steel, and stone on the exterior facade, which perfectly fits this region. The interior is just as beautiful, with the central, stone-clad fireplace, comfortable furnishings that mix old with new, and a playful kitchen featuring its “tree expert” sign, which was converted into a one-of-a-kind range hood.
Note: Be sure to check out a couple of other spectacular home tours that we have highlighted here on One Kindesign in the state of Colorado: Stunning contemporary home with breathtaking views of the San Juan Mountains and Dramatic mountainside home has picturesque Rocky Mountain Park views.
Above: The staircase railing is composed of the same material on the exterior facade, cold-rolled steel. The difference between the two is that the exterior will form a rusted patina over time, whereas the interior steel will be kept clean, as it is protected from the elements. Fence slats are refashioned as art on the wall.
Above: The powder room features Biblioteca wallpaper by Ekaterina Panikanov. The owner likes to use wallpaper in just a few places as accents, especially in the bathroom.
Above: The homeowners wanted to use reclaimed wood, but due to the cost, they opted instead for a mix of vintage and new materials, treated to appear older. This is evident in the white oak flooring, which was roughed up with a saw to give it an older appearance.
Above: In the kitchen, the unique ‘Tree Expert’ sign was spotted in a design shop and fashioned to make a custom hood over the range.
Above: In the great room, a central, dual-sided fireplace helps to preserve the spectacular east/west views while creating an amazing focal point.
Above: This cozy seating area features a comfortable mix of old and new. The wood star is a flea market find, while the coffee table is completely salvaged — a large wooden door and a pair of metal turbines.
Above: The daughter’s room features a canopy bed (the daughter requested a four-poster bed), specifically selected to fit the room’s unique ceiling angle.
Above: Out on the deck, breathtaking views abound. The table was sourced from Rare Finds, a Denver-based company. The top is made of old boxcar flooring, and the metal can be raised and lowered via a hand crank. This enables the owners to use this table at either dining or bartop height.
