Crisp, Clean, Contemporary Design

NO. 2 took shape after a new development rose beside our clients’ former home and wiped out the mountain perspective they valued most. Rebuilding offered a chance to reclaim that outlook—and ensure it would never be threatened again. Clean lines, deliberate geometry, and precise window placements create a modern structure that orients daily life back toward the horizon.

Inside, a calm, pared-back palette keeps the focus on shifting light and long views. The result is a home that feels clear, composed, and shaped by the landscape it was designed to frame.
