HGTV Green Home 2011

Echoing the community's own sense of energy and enthusiasm, the living room sets the tone for the home's contemporary design scheme.

The garage, which offers space for car, cleaning and tool storage, is home to one of the home's most outstanding features: a pet washing station.

The home's casual-chic family room invites informal gatherings and boasts spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains.

A hand-scraped maple staircase, which connects first- and second-floor living spaces, makes its own modern style statement.

Separated from the home proper by a sliding barn door, this multipurpose room serves as a crafts studio, home office and laundry central.

Sleek, modern cabinetry, state-of-the-art appliances and an oversized cooking and entertaining island tell a story of convenience in the kitchen.

A peaceful getaway, the master bedroom celebrates Colorado's indoor-outdoor relationship with comfortable Asian-chic furnishings and understated artwork.

A private spot for homeowners and neighbors to gather, the front patio invites conversation in a relaxed, casual atmosphere.

An infusion of art-deco style elevates the design of the hall bathroom, an eco-chic space shared by the home's two guest bedrooms.

Sliding doors lead from the dining area to the deck, an outdoor living space complete with contemporary-chic furnishings conducive to both formal and casual entertaining.

Inspired by the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and combined with subtle nods to airplane design, the front facade of HGTV Green Home serves up both style and comfort.

Striped chicory- and oat straw-hued, hand-scraped maple flooring stands out in a cozy guest room designed for a growing boy.

The attached garage, accessible from an alley behind HGTV Green Home, visually extends the home's modern prairie design style.

A spa-inspired bathroom, outfitted with dual islands and slate-like porcelain and glass-mosaic tile, makes savvy use of space.

An oversized guest room, which overlooks the neighborhood's sledding hill, pops with a palette of hot pink and green.
