Front Range Retreat
Location: Boulder, Colorado
Team: Lake Flato Architects
This residence is designed to compliment a unique site that sits between a suburban neighborhood and lake, with views of the Front Range foothills. A series of retaining walls tuck the house carefully within a gently-sloped hillside, creating a sense of privacy from neighbors and a connection with the adjacent open prairie.
The prarie seed mix, used across much of the property, was provided by the Boulder County Parks & Open Space to extend the landscape into the site and blur the boundary between public and private. A variety of indoor and outdoor living spaces promote an active lifestyle across all seasons and orient towards Wonderland Lake.
