RIGHT: Floor-to-ceiling glass makes up the back façade of the home.
When visitors enter via the front door, they can look through the
entire structure, past the grand piano, and out the back windows
to the incredible view of the slopes.
PREVIOUS PAGE: Unusual and complex materials combined to
make the home truly one of a kind. Part French Medieval, part
Palm Springs modern, and part mountain rustic, the home
features walnut doors and steel accents throughout. The home
was designed in a very linear fashion in order to capitalize on the
incredible Breckenridge area views. A combination of Douglas fir
timbers and steel was used to create the frame, which supports
a great deal of the home's structural load. Lacquered and waxed
finishes preserve the natural state of the steel, giving it a more
authentic look than a typical steel powder finish.

"A linear home doesn't have to be
boring. When blended seamlessly
into the environment, it becomes a
work of art."
–Suzanne Allen Sabo
