Perched atop a hillside in Evergreen, Colorado this modern dwelling is designed to tread lightly on its natural surroundings. The house appears to ‘float’ among the trees thanks to its stilted steel base, which elevates its ship-like volume above the rocky slope below. The house is designed to maximize spectacular views of Colorado’s rugged mountainscape, viewed from practically every window. Exteriors are clad in tongue and groove Accoya wood, which is pre weathered to blend with the surrounding forest.
