These are sample pictures from a modern home design of Weigel residence by Substance Architecture. Located on a quarter-acre site in a residential development in Copper Mountain, Colorado, the minimalist wooden house comprised of a single storey contemporary pavilion containing the primary living and entertainment spaces, and also a four storey framed tower containing service spaces and bedrooms.
The contemporary house which occupied a 4,000 square foot area is functioned as a vacation home for a family with four young childrens. It’s perfect location, enhanced by the comprehensive architecture planning, made the home-owners can set themselves to “be in the woods” and “see the mountains” at the same time.
What makes this house another interesting thing is the experience which the residence would have from the first time they dropped feet into the house. Beginning at the entry drive, residents would pass through the outer, cast-in-place concrete wall, up a stair parallel to the pavilion into a covered “porch”; and then into the home. Each step along this path reveals carefully differentiated materiality. The compression experience – from fully exposed mountainside, to the more protected woodland, onto a defined plinth, and into the home’s interior – is graduated as well. Via
