Wrap House

Located in the east end of town, this property is part of a historic lot split. The proposed house is to be squeezed between the original historic house and an adjacent lot. This constraint, as well as a twenty five foot height restriction, pose serious challenges for the design of the home.

Placed in a grove of aspen trees, the design creates a connection to the environment around it. The main living spaces of the residence are located on the upper floor with a south-facing deck. This deck is then connected to a roof deck via a spiral staircase. These spaces address the landscape and allow the residents to enjoy the limited long distance views of the nearby mountains.
