Each season makes for its own experience. With the popular Kronplatz ski resort nearby, winter guests can take their pick of skiing, sledding, snowshoeing, and more. In the spring, wildflowers blanket the valley, and summer is the ideal time to dive into a mountain lake. During fall, the changing leaves create a fiery spectacle.

Guests can buy fresh cheese, milk, and eggs from the neighbors.

The room can easily adapt to become a study, lounge, or entertainment space.

Upstairs, a wooden slatted wall doubles as a bookshelf.

The main floor holds a spacious living area with a fold-out sofa, reading materials, a flat screen TV, and children's toys.

The kitchen and dining room enjoy panoramic mountain views. Local pine was hand-hewn for the flooring, windows, doors, and furniture throughout the residence.

Only a partial covering remains over the patio off the living and dining rooms. “It’s amazing how light and airy the house is now compared to how drab and dark it felt when we first moved in,” says Tyler, an art advisor. The three-ring planter is by Eric Trine.

Set high in Crestwood Hills, Richard Neutra’s 1956 Adler House underwent a faithful restoration by Tyler and Margaret Lemkin.

A stepped concrete garden planted with herbs and flowers marks the descent to the house. The courtyard is the focal point of the U-shaped structure; there is clear visibility between the kitchen on one side and the children's bedrooms on the other.

Neighbors can tell the Holm-Kiehls are at home when their boat is tied at the dock and their Japanese koi kite flies over the front door.

Founding principal Mark D. Stumer describes the work of their firm as “modernism with soul.”

A tall and narrow window separates the new brickwork from the historic building, making its lines and profile clearly understandable.
