A R C H I T E C T U R E + D E S I G N "We referenced both traditional rugged mountain homes and breezy lakeside cabins of the area, and interpreted them with a contemporary approach," says Falkenberg. The panorama was the main source of inspiration and informed all Falken Reynolds' decisions, especially for the materials that had to be durable and efficient, resulting in the use of stone, wood and leather. "Black reveals above the walls and mill- work create the illusion of the wood ceiling floating — the same principle Mies van der Rohe used in the Barcelona Pavilion — adding a sense of both strength and lightness," notes Falkenberg. In addition to optimizing the exceptional views, allowing the spaces to function effortlessly for an active family in all four very distinctive seasons and creating the perfect home for entertaining were at the top of the list for this project. "To make the house feel welcoming, the outdoor living spaces — dining, fire pit, tennis court, and dock — all face the front yard," describes Falkenberg. The light color palette and pieces of furni- ture and lighting by Muuto, Scott Landon Antiques, Bensen, Zanotta, Roll and Hill, Gubi, Cappellini, Knoll and Flexform — to name only a few of the brands that popu- late the space — contribute to the casual yet refined atmosphere. "The concept was a home that felt like a cozy alpine cabin with nods to both coun- try and modern aesthetic," says Falken- berg. "After living in the home for almost a year, the homeowner gave one of the best compliments we could get from client by saying 'We use every inch of this house.' " falkenreynolds.com
