Steamboat Springs, CO

Perched above a hill on a 40-acre lot just outside of Steamboat Springs, this 3,600 SF family retreat offers both privacy and panoramic views. The house was strategically positioned on the site to be completely inconspicuous from the main road while fully embracing the sweeping mountain vistas and expansive valley to the east.

The layout is divided into two distinct wings: the primary wing, with the kitchen, dining area, living room, and primary suite, and a secondary wing dedicated to guest bedrooms. These wings are seamlessly connected by a grand entryway that also connects to the backyard, creating a fluid transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.

This house is highly insulated, featuring prefabricated panels with a double stud wall assembly consisting of the structural wall framing and an exoskeletal exterior layer fully filled with insulation. This same construction method is used for the roof panels, creating a seamless, energy-efficient envelope. The result is a continuous barrier of exterior insulation that effectively prevents any air transfer between the outside and inside. Radiant heating throughout the home ensures a consistent, comfortable environment, making it ideal for year-round living in this popular ski resort town.
