Custom Cut Address Numbers

A home this impressive needed address numbers to match! So the Landform Design Group had a piece of metal cut in a cool, contemporary style and displayed the numbers along the retaining wall for visitors.

Soaring and Symmetrical Entry

Even at a distance, the front of this vacation home is entirely captivating. Where a soaring ceiling makes the entrance seem larger than life, stone columns and planters on either side of the door establish beautiful symmetry and balance.

Backyard Complete With High-Tech Equipment

Beneath the wood and steel overhang, guests will also find electric heaters, recessed lights, high-tech audio equipment and a screen that rolls down to offer shade from the sun. Two thickened stone walls frame views to the golf course and ski resort.

Stone Retaining Walls Define Backyard

Thick stone retaining walls define the backyard, as well as complement the home's contemporary architecture. A sitting area tucked against the far side of the space allows the owners and their friends to catch up while their kiddos play on the grass.

Patio Includes Mountain Views

Smooth stone extends across the patio, capturing the same hues as the mountains in the distance. Once the sun goes down, the owners can light their fire pit and settle in for the evening.

Modern Fire Pit

Cushioned armchairs ensure that this newly added outdoor space feels especially cozy. Meanwhile, Mexican pebble at the base of the fire pit is both beautiful and functional, as it serves as a draining system for runoff water.

Courtyard Outfitted With Warm Accents

Though sleek and minimal in style, this fire feature easily warms the whole courtyard. Orange pillows offer additional comfort and complement the color of the flames.

Overhang Features Sun Shades

When the sun becomes too much to bear, the owners can simply flick a switch and shades will lower from the ceiling. In turn, this outdoor space stays cool and comfortable.

Teal Accents in Elegant Sitting Area

Thanks to a low stone wall, this sitting area includes panoramic views of the mountains. Teal accents decorate the neutral furniture for a fun pop of color.

A polished concrete platform both smooths out the grass and gives the owners room for an outdoor kitchen. Where the first island features a stainless grill and mini fridge, the second includes seats for visitors.

Swimming Pool Surrounded By Turf

What vacation home would truly be complete without its own pool? To ensure that their clients could make a splash out back, the Landform Design Group installed a sleek swimming pool right into the ground, with turf on all sides for soft entries and exits.

Recessed Lighting Meets Industrial Railing

During the day, this large overhang provides a touch of shade, but at night, it boasts beautiful recessed lighting. An industrial-style railing below keeps the balcony safe and secure.

Private Balcony Overlooking Backyard

When the owners want a little peace and quiet, they can retreat upstairs to this private balcony. Here, two lounge chairs wait at the ready for reading, napping or simply watching the sun set over the mountains.

Lower Lawn Accommodates Any Event

Smooth stone steps lead to the lower lawn, which can be used for ball games or large gatherings. Along the way, guests will notice three terra cotta planters that speak to those by the home's main entrance.
