Tie House at Canyon Pines

Studio B Architecture + Interiors is pleased to share the approved concept design for Tie House, a new residence envisioned for the Canyon Pines community outside Golden, CO.

Set into the hillside like a railcar embedded within the terrain, the home stretches horizontally across the slope as a long, low volume of steel-framed glass anchored by a crisp concrete plinth. The architecture responds directly to the rugged topography of the site, balancing privacy from the entry sequence with expansive southern views toward the mountains and city below.

From the drive court, the home presents a quiet and restrained presence, two elongated forms connected by a transparent entry threshold. Beyond the arrival sequence, the interiors open fully to light and landscape through continuous south-facing glazing and carefully framed views.

The material palette remains intentionally restrained and tactile throughout: dark-stained heavy timber ceilings and columns, smooth plaster walls, dark stone flooring, and exposed concrete establish a sense of permanence rooted in the hillside itself.

The lower level extends the architecture deeper into the slope with additional bedroom suites, a media room, and fitness spaces opening onto sheltered outdoor terraces immersed in the landscape.

Tie House reflects Studio B’s continued interest in architecture that emerges from site, light, and topography, creating homes that feel deeply connected to their surroundings and only possible in their place.
