I enjoyed a visit to the dramatic location of this Telluride Residence, the season after my landscape design was installed. The photo above shows the entry walk to the home.

The intent of the design was to create a naturalized setting for the modern residence. The home feels further naturalized by reflections of immediate and distant landscapes in the glazing.

Left: While I was there, a sudden rainstorm created “waterfalls” from the major roof gutters. Right: This image shows the interplay of a sculptural site boulder with the upper patio and roof of the residence.

The elegant entry walk is framed with greenery and color. Alliums have been successful in the landscape that is proximate to a variety of wildlife. Fortunately, marmots and squirrels don’t care for the oniony scent of Alliums.

This view shows the entry drive to the residence. Although the home is large, as seen from above, it nestles low in the landscape.
