On the valley side, the terrace steps down as a series of wide bleachers that double as casual seating for enjoying the scenery. The plan also sets the railings below the main floor, so that the interior offers unobstructed views of the landscape.

"This home is intended as both a place of refuge and of play," says Emily Summers Design Associates.

Each suite includes private outdoor balconies complete with fire pits. Thanks to the snowmelt patios, you can enjoy this view and the great outdoors year round.

The kitchen bar counter extends out to the patio, creating a great space for entertaining.

The second seating area features furniture from All Modern.
