Located just 1 mile outside of Salida, Colorado, the home feels like a rural sanctuary despite its location within a medium-density neighborhood. Using the site's hilly terrain as a barrier from neighboring structures, the house opens up to private views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the south, and Big Horn Sheep Canyon to the east. A detached garage structure embedded into the hillside provides a periscope-like view of the Collegiate Peaks to the west from the second level artist workshop.
