Pricing reflects the design by Holz Arch featured on this particular lot. Home is not currently under construction, but can be built once a Buyer has purchased the building site and entered into a contract with Gruber Custom Homes for the construction of this design along with the specific finishes. All final pricing, finishes, design, floor plans etc. are subject to change. Tree House is designed to nestle into the heavily forested hillside. The existing lot is filled with many mature pine trees and an impressively massive table-like boulder that is prominently featured at the bottom edge of the slope. The primary motive for the 6,000 square foot building is to translate the experience of visiting an untouched site into a design that sensitively inhabits that very site.
The approach to the home starts with access from the uphill Milner Drive and quickly meanders downwards to the entry. The zig-zag plan is inspired by the fallen branches that smatter the site. The organizing design feature of the home is a main hallway which cuts diagonally across the plan, with groups of rooms branching off along its length. There are split levels for each of the two floors, which step downward to maintain a close connection to the landscape beyond the walls. Oversized openings and dramatically cantilevered roofs expose living conditions that jut outward from between the trees, like a pine bough reaching out for sunlight. Four bedrooms are distributed amongst the arrangement of volumes, with the Owner's suite perched highest of all, overlooking the lower house below and towards the magnificent views beyond. The design for Tree House intends for the home to live like its own forested setting. ABOUT CANYON PINES: 35 minutes to Denver, 20 minutes to Boulder and 15 minutes to Golden.
