Fulfilling the client's desire to draw inspiration from 'fire and ice,' the Snowmass Retreat seamlessly integrates warm and cool elements, with the rich, evolving patina of copper enhancing the welcoming refuge. The home prioritizes natural light, scenic views, and privacy. Quartzite stone walls wrap around the exterior, with complementary copper wall panels, soffits, and roofs providing a robust and fire-resistant enclosure, ensuring durability and safety. The connection to copper is felt throughout the home's layout, from exterior panels to subtle interior accents. Sunlight dances across the copper surfaces, highlighting their rich patina and infusing the home with texture and warmth through all seasons.
