Originally constructed in 1951, the inverted
butterfly roofline of this house was designed to provide framed views of Mount
Sopris. In our renovation, we removed the interior walls so the umbrella-like
roof would float above the living space. We carved seven skylights, located by
tracking the sun’s path, between the exposed timber beams. A play loft hovers
above the kitchen, a double-sided bunkbed-wall both connects and divides the
two boys’ rooms, and a new stair creates a spatial slice through the house,
linking the two levels.
