Art and Nature Take Center Stage in This Aspen Residence<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

CCY Architects does not typically design a long entry sequence for houses in Aspen, Colorado, which gets over 12 feet of snow a year. But for a mountainside residence overlooking the Roaring Fork Vall\u00adey, the firm built a 90-foot path between the parking area and the front door. By local standards, \u201cThat\u2019s a long, long walk,\u201d says CCY<\/a> principal Alex Klumb. But the clients, an art-collecting couple, sought to highlight a recent acquisition: a reflective PVD-coated stainless-steel head by the Swiss artist Not Vital. CCY placed the sculpture at the end of an all\u00e9e of aspens leading to the entrance. \u201cIt frames nature, draws you to the door, and slows everybody down before releasing to an incredible view,\u201d Klumb explains. It also establishes the home\u2019s focus on art and the outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The isolated 6-acre site straddles an aspen grove and forests of evergreens and Gambel oaks. The clients envisioned a modern house that would honor the setting and display their collection, including works by Alexander Calder, Sol LeWitt, and Robert Rauschenberg. CCY conceived two volumes of weathered steel and board-formed concrete connected by a glass-walled corridor. The two-story main house\u2014with the primary bedroom, living areas, and downstairs rec room\u2014sits at the front of the site; a single-story guest wing is in the back. The layout \u201callows nature to bleed through the house,\u201d Klumb says, and ensures that the 10,750-square-foot, five-bedroom property feels comfortable for either two or 16 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only downside of the location was that it faced north\u2014ideal for hanging paintings, but not for creating a bright vacation home. CCY designed winged roofs with south-facing clerestory windows<\/a> to capture a little light. For the pool and terrace, the team calculated which spot got the most sun, paradoxically installing them on the north side of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For interiors, CCY collaborated with Interior Design<\/em> Hall of Fame member and the eponymous founding partner of David Kleinberg Design Associates<\/a>, who had worked with the couple on two other homes. They selected a limited, neutral palette of black porcelain-tile flooring and white-oak ceilings and millwork; triple-pane full-height windows provide panoramic valley views and close-ups of the woods. \u201cThere\u2019s always an event at the end of a room, where your eye is either directed at an art wall or a window wall,\u201d Kleinberg says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Besides the Not Vital sculpture, the clients hadn\u2019t earmarked specific pieces for the house, so they worked with Kleinberg to see which fit best: a Calder over a guest-room bed, a James Rosenquist at the top of the stairs. In the dining room, a David Hockney drawing echoes the moun\u00adtains outside the window<\/a>. It hangs above three square oak tables that can be joined or separated depending on the size of the group\u2014the sort of practical touch that makes the home livable. The paintings and views may be spectacular, Kleinberg says, \u201cbut the interiors have to hold their own.\u201d The result is as layered as a work of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
