"Force of Nature\nA Design That&amp;#39;s at One with its Mountain Site\n&amp;quot;The house closely follows the contours of the hillside and is unobtrusive in form and color,&amp;quot; architect Harry Teague says of a mountain retreat he designed for a couple.\nA granite boulder is a fixture in the living area, where stairs lead to an office wing. Joseph Matzo, of The Wiseman Group, arranged the interiors. Great Plains sofa fabric.\nLarge dining and living areas mimic the hillside beyond the windows. &amp;quot;The steps accommodate the terrain both inside and out,&amp;quot; Teague notes. &amp;quot;Small lights drop through sycamore waves on the ceiling in a seemingly random celestial pattern,&amp;quot; he adds. Steinway Sons piano.\nLike the office, entrance and bedroom wings, the kitchen is its own, distinct element within the greater building shape: &amp;quot;The folded form of the house drapes over the kitchen wing,&amp;quot; says the architect. Holly Hunt stools.\nThe main level-plan.\nA boulder serves to support a bridge between the house and the master bedroom and bath upstairs and guest rooms below. Scored zinc-alloy siding was chosen for the exterior because it is &amp;quot;recessive in the summer green and in the winter snow,&amp;quot; Teague explains. The five-bedroom, 8,000-square-foot house rests on 53 acres in the mouth of a glacially carved valley.\nThe sitting area in the minimalist master bedroom. &amp;quot;The clients wanted a simple, clean, carefree environment,&amp;quot; says Matzo. Great Plains fabrics.\nA black-bottomed lap pool engages with the site, projecting six feet above ground into the verdant surroundings at one end and merging with the grass at the other. In the foreground, at right, is a corner of the exercise room.\nBordered by stands of aspens, the terrace off the office wing is the highest built point on the site. The structure&amp;#39;s varied levels and layers reflect the ruggedness of the property and allow the indoor and outdoor spaces to flow comfortably."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
