A modern expression of home, perched high above the city below, Astra combines a minimal expression of artfully combined materiality with advanced sustainable design. A palette of white and french gray tones expressed as a balance to the structure of the home provide a warmth that finds a center at the hearth, a fireplace to gather around, a grounding element in the home’s design. 

 Living as much outdoors as in, the home was conceived as a series of porches, decks, and balconies that allow the living spaces to flow from inside to out, blurring the line between the two. Using highly insulative walls of folding glass, views of the majestic Rocky Mountain peaks are captured without compromising the energy efficiency of the home.
