Red Butte Site Section - The location of the existing sited footprint of the previous house (snugged up against the base of Red Butte mountain) could be grandfathered into Aspen’s current zoning and residential design standards, otherwise the new code required the home to be closer to the street, having a suburban neighborhood like context.

From CCY Architects

The Red Butte residence is a 7,728 SF new structure, but zoning requirements dictated the new house exist within the footprint of a previous structure. A benefit of that challenge was that mature landscaping surrounding the home was preserved.

Designed for a couple who enjoys entertaining and being outdoors, the house utilizes the simple idea of removing solid walls and allowing natural features to act as exterior walls and privacy screens. Significant windows allow the Evergreen and Aspen grove to the South, and a near - vertical craggy butte to the North to become the spatial definitions for living spaces. The architectural expression is sophisticated, minimal and spare, focusing on nature and the monochromatic material palette.

The trees’ filtered light is emulated in wood trellises throughout the house. The separation of elements helps clarify the materials and craftsmanship of the home.
