Perched at 10,600 feet in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, this home is a quietly powerful study in restraint, trust, and dialogue with the landscape. Designed by Gabriel Yuri of New Operations Workshop as an addition to his parents’ retreat, the project balances a charred Shou Sugi Ban exterior with a luminous, oak-lined interior. Rooted in Japanese and Scandinavian traditions yet unmistakably American, the house preserves the original structure while reframing it around light, views, and family life. Thoughtful material continuity, passive solar strategies, and seamless indoor–outdoor connections reveal a mountain home shaped as much by respect for place as by architectural intention.
