Set above Steamboat Springs, Western Grand was designed around the views. A cedar-clad upper-level rests on a light masonry base, while the street-facing façade remains largely enclosed to create privacy. From the valley side, floor-to-ceiling glass and an extended deck open the home to the surrounding mountains, drawing natural light into the living spaces throughout the day. A walnut entry door provides a warm point of arrival, leading into a bright staircase at the heart of the home.
One of the home's defining architectural features is its fully cantilevered floating staircase. Designed with open risers, the staircase appears to float effortlessly through the space, creating a striking focal point while preserving light and openness throughout the home.
The vision behind Western Grand was simple yet ambitious: create a home where the surrounding mountains become part of everyday life rather than simply the backdrop.
