COLORAM RESIDENCE — BEAVER CREEK, COLORADO
 
This luxury mountain mansion is nestled among stands of Aspen on one of
Beaver Creek’s most intimate sites. The house offers striking views of
the golf course, ski slopes, and the resort’s pedestrian village. With
multiple floor levels, the elevated entry–bridge arrives at the spacious
central gallery on the main floor. The dramatic circular stair ascends
to an overhead walkway that joins with the uppermost level of the house.
The open plan allows for glimpses through the sitting room and the living
room to the ski–mountain beyond. The formal dining area opens to a large
sun deck, offering a sweeping vista of the entire Beaver Creek valley.
Exline Design assisted MORTER ARCHITECTS of Vail, Colorado, in the design
and presentation of this spectacular mountain retreat. Working closely
with the firm’s principal Jim Morter, and lead designer Michael Hazard,
Exline spearheaded the presentational efforts for the project.
As a sympathetic response to its hill–side site, the house expresses a
comfortable balance of familiar sloping roof forms with the clean simplicity
of contemporary detailing. The warmth of the native Colorado Rose Sandstone
and clear heart redwood are complimented by the understated clarity of
the home’s gracious plan.
