Jewel on the River - Resting along side the Roaring Fork River in Aspen, Colorado, this jewel is carved from ledger stone, copper and glass and shaped into a unique piece of art complimenting the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains.
The imagery of overlapping roof planes, and exterior sloping walls and planters gives the illusion of the home gradually descending into the landscape. This basic design concept visually lowers the perceived profile of the home. Refining the rooflines by stepping them back creates a thin, light edge detail that compliments the horizontal aspects of the stacked ledger stone walls. These vertical walls and horizontal design features are juxtaposed to create a true Frank Lloyd Wright style home.
“I believe it is important to design a sculptural living space set within the landscape that enhances and compliments the surrounding neighborhood. I feel this home is a tribute to the natural beauty of Aspen, Colorado.”
