The landscaping of a mountain garden at a height of 8000 ft (2700 meters) and refurbishment of exterior siding and roof.
The house faced onto a 1.5 acre plot of overrun hillside and was transformed by the creation of three separate levels of landscape.
The top level accessible from the house was landscaped to provide space for a hot tub, decking and sitting area.
The second lower level was reached by the insertion of steel railway girders to create a series of grass steps.
The third lowest level was accessed by a carefully cut pathway through the planting of tall wild grass.
The remainder of the garden was extensively seeded with wild flowers.
The original restoration and design of the house was completed with a newly painted board siding. This was subsequently removed and replaced with reclaimed vintage barn siding that requires no upkeep in its natural state. The original roof - that needed replacing - is now rusted steel which maintains the robust rawness of a house required to weather severe winter storms and snowfall.
