8 INSPIRED MODERN HOMES ABOVE: A 10,000-square-foot ski retreat, this home celebrates lightness, sun- shine, and color. The south side of the home shows the power of its tremendous number of windows—17-feet-tall walls of glass surround the living and dining rooms—that welcome in year-round sunlight, views and natural light, despite the cold, snowy climate. A large cantilevered, heated patio extends out from underneath the roof eave to enjoy the sunshine while sitting next to the warmth of the gas firepit—or while luxuriating in the custom eight-person stainless-steel hot tub above the patio on the second story. Cantilevered forms and airy ele- ments are also echoed inside, including with the bridge that stretches over to the master wing. LEFT: A slice through the recreation room's stone backwall allows the wood and steel stairway to wrap around a three-sided, glass-encased wine display. The backlit onyx slab glows at the bottom stair landing providing an interior focal termination while bringing warmth, natural art, and refinement as well as a pop of energy to the lower level. FACING PAGE TOP: The living room's walls of glass, contrasted with solid stone and wood walls, provide focused panoramic views to the mountainous land- scape. Soft wood tones, light and color bring warmth to the space. A custom concrete mantel and hearth slice the solid wall creating a spot for the fireplace. Motorized artwork slides to the side for TV entertainment. FACING PAGE BOTTOM LEFT: Floating vanities and mirrors, as seen in this master bathroom, are theme throughout the house. The privacy glass behind allows natural light to come outside while accommodating views to the out- doors—whenever the homeowners want them. FACING PAGE BOTTOM RIGHT: High ceilings, large walls of glass, a floating central light fixture, light woods, soft textures, and a slice-through dual-sided fireplace bring warmth, transparency, and brightness to this sun-seeking ski couple's master retreat.
