This modern house will be clad entirely in local stone. The simple forms are low and steadfast on the high alpine site, immersed in close-up views of the San Juans. Outward views were the overwhelming driver for design. The house will have simple contemporary interior spaces, drawn outward through large areas of glass. To be built for a photographer, the solid structure works like the sturdy body of a high-quality camera; quietly and reliably supporting the higher function of the glass lens.
