Steamboat, CO

This home is nestled in a small Aspen grove, though the main living space is perched above to allow for better light, views and privacy in a somewhat dense residential neighborhood. It features an art loft, vaulted living/ dining spaces, and a large indoor/outdoor workshop. The roof follows the slope of the land and overhangs are calibrated for optimal solar gain and shading. A tuck-under garage helps maintain a minimal footprint; super-insulated and airtight walls by PhoenixHaus coupled with rooftop PV and an energy recovery ventilator will keep interior comfort high and heating/ cooling loads low.
