Living Room Sofa Coffee Tables Wood Burning Fireplace Table Recessed Lighting Design Photos and Ideas

When a couple approached Colorado-based Cottle Carr Yaw (CCY) Architects for a modern mountain retreat, they brought with them images of what would be the founding inspiration behind the new design—a simple and rugged cabin in Norway where the husband and his relatives had been gathering since the 1950s. Much like this ancestral Norwegian cabin, the new getaway is designed with the same rustic charms and deference to the landscape, as well as an inviting environment for friends and family to gather for generations to come.
The impressive living room has polished concrete floors which are contrasted with a white ash plywood ceiling.
The sprawling residence opens itself up to the garden at every opportunity, allowing for a breezy outdoor connection.
A few steps lead up to the dining room area.
The original floor plan and design elements remain—from the concrete block fireplace to the restored sconces. The vaulted ceiling is made from western red cedar.
Floor-to-ceiling Lift/Slide doors by Weiland and clerestory glazing usher the outdoors in to the open-plan living and dining areas.
