Killian Residence

The client for this house in a resort community wanted a structure that would harmonize with the aspen grove setting and near by butte. The result is a building, which encompassed the play of colors and textures of natural materials interfaced with the surrounding environment. This is seen in the relationship of the white aspen grove against the soft curvature of the black stone and branch-like structure of the wooden elements in the glasswork. This interplay gives the building a compatibility with nature. It is an example of capturing the poetry of a site and translating its spirit into architecture; a communion between client, site and architect.
