Three Pond Residence Featured in Aspire Design and Home Magazine
A Contemporary Colorado Home Stands Tall On The Land
Some homes occupy the landscape. Others progress through it. By turns assertive and deferential, the latter can add an almost interactive layer to the environment, creating an exciting tension between the built and the natural. This is especially true when the built manifests a true self-possession as architecture, as the expression of an idea.
Situated on 15 acres outside Denver, with views of the Rocky Mountains, this keenly contemporary residence by the 86-year-old firm, Cushing Terrell, is a powerful presence fashioned from shou sugi ban cladding, zinc, and concrete. Sprawling — and with ceilings that rise to 22 feet at some points — it nonetheless appears integrated into the landscape.
