William's Ridge Residence
Type
SIZE
5000 sqft - 10,000 sqft
BUDGET
$1M - 5M
The William’s Ridge Residence is a result of a highly collaborative process with
an intensely involved Owner. The Project evolved through several complete
iterations over the course of the relationship. As of Fall 2010, the Project is
essentially complete, sans furniture.
The William’s Ridge Residence is situated in a privately held nature
preserve in the foothills of Colorado’s Front Range. The site selected by the
Owner is far and away the most “rugged” of the available home sites, and
includes North-facing forest, South-facing windblown ridge faces, and
distinctive rock outcrops.
Semple Brown Design and the Owner worked diligently to locate the home
in the exact “sweet spot” of the 39 acre site to choreograph the arrival
sequence and frame specific peaks of the Continental Divide, and control and
enhance solar exposure.
The House “rides the ridge”, by stretching out the Owner’s desired
program out in a linear manner along the saddle of the landform. The house opens
itself broadly to the views and favorable solar orientation to the South, while
presenting a more solid face to the North, into the forest: with this face it
frames individual landforms with special character and meaning. The “spine” of
the house is oriented on what became known as “sacred rock”, and provides a
clear circulation path through the home.
The Owner desired a highly modern, elegant home set within this rugged
landscape, while not forgetting the tactile qualities of materials such as
stucco, stone, wood and metal.
