Evergreen Mountain Retreat

Project Summary

The Evergreen Mountain Retreat, designed by Tabberson Architects and located in Evergreen, Colorado, provides a sanctuary where residents can escape the stresses of everyday life and reconnect with nature. Evergreen Mountain Retreat perfectly captures this essence, offering a peaceful and restorative environment through thoughtful design, warm tones, and rich textures. Inside, queen post trusses and common rafters enhance the feeling of spaciousness, while exposed timber elements add character and craftsmanship. The bracing details at the timber joints, where beams step out from the columns, are a striking feature that lends the home a sense of artistry and precision.

On the exterior, thick-sawn timbers are stacked with locking corners, giving the home a strong, horizontal visual presence that is beautifully balanced by the vertical tongue-and-groove siding. This interplay between sturdy, horizontal elements and delicate vertical details creates a dynamic yet harmonious look. The stone base further grounds the home in its natural surroundings, connecting it to the earth from which the stone was sourced and anchoring it firmly within the landscape.

The Evergreen Mountain Retreat offers a perfect balance of beauty and functionality, designed to provide its inhabitants with a calm, rejuvenating space. Every detail, from the architectural features to the materials used, has been carefully considered to blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment. Whether relaxing inside or enjoying the mountain views outside, this home serves as an ideal retreat for those seeking comfort, tranquility, and a connection to nature.
