Local vernacular and a minimalist concept drove the design of the Big Wood Residence. This home for Mark de Reus and his family celebrates the career of its architect, who incorporated lessons from thirty-five years of practice into this, his most personal work.
The project features themes that the de Reus Architects firm is known for—inserting asymmetry into a symmetrical plan. Incorporating natural materials, and ancient aesthetics into a contemporary design.
The home consists of the simple shapes of two practical building forms: a two-story barn for the living areas and a flat-roofed structure harkening low-slung ranch outbuildings for the garage, storage, and terrace.
The two floors contain 3,760 square feet of space: living room, kitchen, and master suite on the ground floor, and recreation room and two bedrooms on the second. Beautiful interior design style complete with ornate interior finishings. A two-story window lights the eastern entrance and stairway – designed to appear like a warm, welcoming lantern on a dark night.
The project’s gray-black stained wood exterior and dark-gray metal roof harmonizes with the color of the glowing aspen trees that dominate its eight-acre site. To play off of the aspens, de Reus chose dark colors for the building’s exterior. This modern riverside home feels as if it’s always been there.
