hrough a collaborative work
between Poss Architects and
Kirei Studio's founder and interior
designer Nathalie Ryan, this traditional log
house was transformed into a contemporary
home based on Mies van der Rohe's design
principle "less is more." e project features an
elegant mix of Ipe wood and limestone walls,
and creates a dialogue between elements of the
landscape and a modern influence.
e 18-foot-high ceiling and spectacular
staircase in glass, steel and concrete (which
connects the ground floor with the basement
and first level) give the space a feeling of airiness.
Providing breathtaking views through big bay
windows, the main living room was inspired
by the blue tones of the Aspen mountain at
dusk. Blue sofas by Minotti and a chandelier
by Giacometti combine with bespoke furniture
and accessories designed by Ryan, creating
a peaceful atmosphere where natural beauty
is the main protagonist. Adorned with Loro
Piana cashmere on the walls, a bespoke walnut
and leather headboard along with a custom-
designed carpet by Taiping, the master bedroom
reflects a similar sharpness. Artworks by
famous artist JR, a sculpture by Jaume Plensa,
a pool designed by Nick Soho, and landscaping
by Greg Mozian complete the architecture
and interior design. In Japanese, Kirei means
beauty, a word that perfectly characterizes a
home where colors and materials harmoniously
meet. kirei-studio.com
