Trailhead Residence

Located at the base of Mt. Sanitas, just minutes from downtown Boulder, this home was designed for a newly-retired client returning to Boulder after decades of international travel. The layout echoes the principles of feng shui, and is structured around a multi-level courtyard that maximizes outdoor connection while providing privacy from adjacent neighbors.

On the exterior, vertical grain wood siding and elongated charcoal brick are punctuated by a uniform pattern of windows. Inside, concrete floors, cream casework, white oak and glass tile create a soft backdrop for vibrant artifacts curated from across the globe. The two-story interior staircase is flanked by a custom, hammered-steel screen that stretches from basement to lofted ceiling. Designed for longevity and ageing in place, the Trailhead Residence includes accommodations for a future elevator and caretaker suite.
