Sopher Sparn Architects is responsible for this comprehensive renovation and addition that reimagines an existing modern mountain house in Jefferson County, Colorado, with accessibility and long-term livability in mind. The original cedar-shake roofing and siding were thoughtfully replaced with fire-resistant materials, while a new enclosed entry creates a welcoming, more intentional transition from outside to inside.
Inside this airy 6,349-square-foot residence, updates to the kitchen, lighting, and key living spaces enhance everyday functionality while honoring the home’s original character. Continue below to see the rest of this beautiful home tour…
A discreetly integrated elevator and modest expansion support aging in place without overwhelming the structure.
A bridge connects the existing home to a new addition that includes a spacious owner’s suite and home office, designed with the flexibility to transition into caretaker quarters in the future.
The result is a cohesive, adaptable home that feels both grounded and forward-looking, balancing thoughtful upgrades with enduring design.
What We Love About This Home
The elevator and spacious new owner’s suite were worked into this home so the owner can focus on long-term livability without disrupting its feel as a rustic mountain retreat. We love how the architects replaced the original cedar-shake roof and siding with fire-resistant materials without losing the wood-and-stone warmth that gives the house its character. Small touches, such as the turret reading nook and the green marble steam shower, add a unique touch beyond this remodel’s focus on comfort and aging in place.
