This year’s award-winning project by Lifescape embodied the design of mountain meets modern situated among a forest of pines. “The goal to create a modern destination in the wilderness was achieved and the result is an inspiring marriage between the landscape and the amazing architecture of this home,” said LeAnn Ostheimer, director of design and marketing. On each axis of the home a destination was created. A modern fire pit patio complemented by a pristine lawn with circular wall feature, a seasonal color bed on axis with Pike's Peak decorated with the clients art sculpture, a meandering path down to an informal crushed gravel patio nestled in the pines, and stunning roof top patio housing the client’s vintage automobile gallery. To meet the client’s modern design aesthetic, a minimalist approach was utilized with a simplified plant palate, granite accents, clean lines and a few perfectly placed landscape features resulting in a landscape that is exactly what the homeowner envisioned.
