2000 Chamonix Lane

A speculative two-family residence of approximately 5400 sf with an attached employee housing unit of 1100 sf elegantly steps down the lot to maximize views towards Vail Ski Resort, southern solar exposure, and privacy for each residential unit. Autocourts and entries for each unit have been carefully placed to give the appearance of a single-family residence from the street, as well as, providing each unit with their own landscaped outdoor spaces. Architecturally, the massing, the material palette, and the detailing emphasize a singular language, further promoting the idea that this is a singlefamily home, thus belonging within the context of the existing neighborhood. Additionally, the concrete walls extend from the house out into the landscape, tying it to the land, while the wood clad volumes add a visual lightness to the project by hovering lightly over the concrete and glass walls.
