Bar House: Valley Breeze in Aspen

modern-house-bar-1 
Located on a deep narrow valley in Aspen, Colorado, the Bar House endures extreme winters while the sun reaches the bottom of the narrow valley only from the south. 

Unlike surrounding houses, this unique structure, with its flowing linear shape, sits across the valley so each room could maximize the southern exposure combined with spectacular views of the valley.

Bounded by a river on one edge and a road on the other, the house features an open-air roof-top terrace with an exterior staircase, overlooking magnificent views, while the bedrooms and the family room are located on the south side of the second floor.

The living room on the ground floor has scenic views on three sides. A garage and guest apartment are located on the other side of the driveway, and an overhang of the house provides protection in inclement weather.
