Smart technology helps a house in Aspen, Colorado, stay on its sustainable course.
The Aspen residence of architects Sarah Broughton and John Rowland aims to leave the pristine local landscape intact. “Every drop of water that lands on the property finds its way to the bocce ball court, which is our storm-water filtration system,” Rowland says. “By the time it leaves, and heads to the aquifer, it’s as pure as it can get.”
“People say modernism is minimalist—if everything looks so clean, it must be easy,” Jones says. “In truth, it’s exactly the opposite. It’s easier to apply more and more layers of wood to cover up the sins of framing or the natural materials. Making it trim-less or with minimal trim is more challenging. It’s a challenge we as a company and our carpenters are into. We like to make it as clean as possible we look for those details that can show off the contemporary style.”
As the builder, Tom worked with a team of architects and designers who listen carefully to the homeowner's requests. "They wanted to have the look of a Texas ranch house, and we achieved that with the stonework and the wider covered verandas that invite you to just sit outside and enjoy the view," Tom says. Attention to detail, from the hammered steel metalwork and the wire-distressed wood for the interior to the careful selection of the reclaimed Austrian pines for both the floor and the ceiling beams, defines this home as both timeless and welcoming.
