Steamboat Watchtower

Steamboat Springs, CO

This super-insulated Steamboat Springs home is built on a tight lot just outside of town. To take advantage of views, natural light and cross breezes, the home is envisioned as a “lookout tower”. The 3 story house has an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on the lowest level for future flexibility. The main level has a bedroom and living space, which is extended by a large south facing deck. A partial 3rd floor serves as the top of the lookout tower where the primary suite retains privacy while maintaining  surrounding views. A beautiful hemlock ceiling carries the inside space to the outside.
