This remote mountain project, comprised of challenging architecture design
and detail,
was a signature building for the ownership and the Drahota team. The architects
were accustomed to features designed specifically for structures found
throughout National Parks which entailed fine detail, western style, wildlife
and more. Custom light fixtures
were shipped in from out-of-state, floor finishes were completed using
stained concrete with wood inlays, and the fireplace masonry was all excavated
on site. Some of the masonry weighed as much as one ton and took an entire
day to set just one stone. Twigs and branches from Aspen trees created
some of the final touches to the doors and cabinets. Drahota broke ground
on the project and delivered the building nine months later for a grand
opening on New Year’s Eve.
