Valley Lane House
Boulder, COLORADO
New Construction
New construction custom home located north of Boulder.
Sitting on a steeply sloping site in the foothills outside of Boulder, this house was designed for a family moving from Los Angeles who wanted the contemporary/ modern feel of a southern California aesthetic, but adapted to the Colorado environment and climate.

To address the environmental challenges of the location, the house stretches along the slope, minimizing the amount of disturbance. Simply divided into two major rectangular parts, the house consists of public and private portions. These areas are linked by an inverted sloped roof with continuous beams which span across the building.

The roof sections angle upward to the western views, simultaneously reflecting and reacting to the extremity of the slope. The home’s overall order of public/private is further emphasized by highlighting the positions of children/parents, owners/guests, and work/play.
