The garage from the original design was moved to facilitate another level that would
capture even more of these views. In the end a sloping house
rose from the ground. The roof peaks emulate both the high jagged
caps of the Rocky Mountains and the cascading waterfalls that
can be found tucked in the cracks of these very mountains. The
house as a whole steps into the hill, conforming completely with
the landscape surrounding it.Being half-buried in the hillside keeps the indoor temperatures at an acceptable range during the winter. These temperatures can be bumped up to specific comfort levels with the in-floor radiant heating system. With the help of super-insulated walls and roofs, energy bills are kept to a minimum. In the summer, low-E heat mirror windows and high vaulted ceilings keep the house from becoming too warm. All the assets of the 39-Degree house help it to fit into nature and let it become a piece of living art.
