Perched high above the valley on 130 acres in Rye, Colorado, this 22,000-square-foot retreat was designed as a true family sanctuary. The vision was bold from the start—a modern home with sweeping curves and expansive glass walls that frame panoramic views in every direction. The centerpiece is the “whale’s tail” double-curved roof, crafted with steel framing and curved glulams, creating a dramatic silhouette that defines the residence. Inside, soaring ceilings, floating stairs, and floor-to-ceiling glass set the stage for a home that is as much about experience as architecture, balancing spectacle with comfort for a large and lively family.
Every detail of the home was designed with family living in mind. Each bedroom is ensuite with equal-sized closets and baths, ensuring harmony among the children. The addition of multiple kitchens, expansive recreation spaces, and a two-story gym underscore the family-first vision—spaces to gather, entertain, and retreat, all while soaking in valley views.
