Brooks Residence – Grand Junction, Colorado
The client’s interest in Balinese architecture
guided the design for this 5,400 SF residence. Balinese tri-angga
classification is characterized by multiples of three and associates
upper, middle, and lower with concepts of sacred, mundane, and profane.
Living spaces are arranged into three tiers that step
with the slope of the site. Lower tier spaces contain utility functions,
middle tier spaces contain functions shared by the homeowners and
guests, and upper tier spaces contain private functions exclusively
for the homeowners.
Subtle decoration of exterior stone column bases,
wood columns and wood patio soffits suggest animal features associated
with creatures of the ground and air.
Portions of the building cradle
exterior rooms. Interior views of the Colorado National Monument
are framed between flanking rock shoulders.
Additional Features & Products:
- Zero & low VOC coatings, sealants & adhesives.
- Non-toxic
spray-in foam insulation.
- Energy-Star glazing.
