From the Agent: "Few locations on Earth offer such strikingly contrasting yet equally breathtaking perspectives—a view of the sun rising over the prairies, and also of glorious sunsets over the snow-capped peaks. The property is large enough, and the house sufficiently isolated from public roads, to feel serene, natural, and wild, yet it is ten minutes from downtown Boulder. (The property has two distinct access roads, leading to two desirable parts of town.) The house is an inspiring and award-winning work of architecture. Stephen Dynia, the home’s architect, has become renowned for such remarkable buildings as the Jackson Hole Performing Arts Center. Bright and airy, the structure affords seamless continuity between interior spaces and the magnificent natural setting. The materials are warm and natural—rusted steel, wood—while the lines are elegant and simple."
Stephen Dynia designed the Boulder home with a focus on natural materials, sustainable building strategies, and showcasing the surrounding landscape.
The Rocky Mountain Institute consulted thorough the design process to help limit the ecological impact of the home.

The hillside home is positioned so that, compared to downtown Boulder, it receives an extra hour and a half of sunlight in the winter.
Back in the ’60s, geographer Gilbert White consolidated this tract of land into one property, and it’s since been passed down through a line of stewards who have cared for the local environment.
200 feet from the house sits a separate studio that can function as guest quarters or an office.
