A See-Through House

  

I think you could almost put anything on this site and it wouldn't take away from that wow location. Thankfully though the designer owners chose McLean Quinlan architects and together created an elegant home that merges the best of an American cabin and a European chalet.

What a view, it is just so breathtaking - in the true sense of that phrase! The building frames the view very honestly, understanding it is merely the frame to that work of art. Simple, honest and natural materials are used creating a calming and minimal space. My experience of coming face to face with mountains his how they give you a welcome dose of perspective. Problems shrink, calm descends and the babbling stops. 

The owners and the architects here have created a home that is confident, it doesn't need to shout or vie for attention. The building is a strong, a secure embrace. A place to watch the clouds run over the steadfast landscape and to savour the ever changing light.
