Mountain House, designed by Gabriel Yuri at 10,600 feet in Colorado, merges human architecture with the surrounding natural beauty. Featuring charred exterior walls treated with Shou Sugi Ban, the design preserves the existing structure while merging traditional Japanese and Scandinavian influences. The house prioritizes sustainable energy use and family unity through open, adaptable spaces and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions. Built-in furniture crafted from local materials enhances the holistic environment, demonstrating a commitment to thoughtful design in a challenging remote location.
"I was initially uncertain about taking on the project, thinking my parents might encourage a more conservative, traditional approach than what we usually embrace."
"The short construction period due (essentially late May to early November) as well as the elevation and remoteness of the site were all challenges."
