A Peek Into the Process: Construction at Mountain Ridge
Nestled in the foothills of Boulder, the Mountain Ridge Project is taking shape. This design is deeply rooted in the land, emerging from the scars of the previous structure as a symbol of regrowth, rebirth, and healing. The home’s dynamic zigzag form responds to the site, creating a series of interwoven courtyards that balance openness and intimacy while seamlessly stitching the architecture into the hillside.
As construction progresses, we are excited to see our vision come to life, elevating over the terrain with a branch-like floor plan that captures evolving light, frames stunning mountain views, and fosters a deep connection to the landscape.
The vertically zigzagging roofline enhances the home's organic and hierarchical structure, allowing natural light to interact dynamically with each space. Drawing inspiration in their form from the Flatiron mountains beyond. Bedrooms are strategically placed in a dedicated wing, separate from the primary living area, ensuring privacy and a cohesive flow throughout the home.
Mountain Ridge reweaves the hillside, integrating seamlessly with the landscape through a design that fills the voids with purposeful form and function.
The architecture employs a zigzag stitch or interlaced crosshatch pattern, extending westward into the earth and pulling eastward toward the slope. This approach creates interstitial spaces that form courtyards, blending the building with its surroundings and offering a mix of private and public outdoor areas.
Mountain Ridge embraces the site's history, transforming the scar left by a previously demolished structure into an opportunity for renewal and healing.
Stay tuned as we continue to share this project’s journey!
