Set into a rugged hillside outside Golden, Colorado, Tie House explores the relationship between architecture and topography through a series of restrained horizontal forms.

Studio B Architecture + Interiors is pleased to share that Tie House, a new residential concept in Canyon Pines, Colorado, is featured in Residential Design magazine, Volume 6, 2026.

Set into a rugged hillside outside Golden, Colorado, Tie House explores the relationship between architecture and topography through a series of restrained horizontal forms. Inspired by the image of a railcar embedded within the landscape, the residence is conceived as two elongated volumes connected by a transparent entry, creating a quiet arrival that gives way to expansive views of the surrounding mountains and city below.

A concrete plinth anchors the home to the terrain, while steel-framed glazing opens the interiors to southern light and landscape. Dark-stained timber, natural stone, plaster, and exposed concrete establish a restrained material palette that reinforces the home’s connection to its setting.

The design reflects Studio B’s belief that architecture should emerge from the unique conditions of its site. Rather than impose itself upon the hillside, Tie House responds to the land, balancing openness and privacy, structure and landscape.

We appreciate Residential Design for recognizing Tie House and sharing this evolving project with its national audience.
