You’d be pleased to see the Morningstar Residence which is a modern home with warm and rustic textures located on the Roaring Fork River, Aspen, Colorado. The design of the house is based on old European farm structures given a contemporary twist. It is a 5,126 square foot house with four bedroom and four-and-a-half bathroom. It features a central core great room with glass hallways that leads to the bedrooms as well as the additional rooms were one can get a lovely view of the Roaring Fork River.
The Morningstar Residence has an open plan living area anchored to one side by a modern kitchen and a massive steel fireplace on the other side. It used reclaimed timbers, concrete flooring, an amazing lighting-scheme and dry-stacked stone walls. You can also see a wine-storage on one side of the dining area. If you look into the house, it has a breathtaking lighting design that highlights the architectural form of the house. It is said that the “consistency of design, accents of architectural forms and materials, and ease of use” was the primary basis of the home’s design.
This house looks like the ones we see on holiday postcards with all the snow and lighting in it.
It does have a combination of modern and rustic design that turned out really stunning.
Even the choice of materials shows a combination of modern and traditional ones.
We will surely agree that with the snow around in Aspen, it looks even more gorgeous!

This lovely home in the alps is designed by Zone 4 Architects and built by Brikor Associates. We can see that both did an amazing collaboration resulting into a house that we would love to call ours! Aside from the environment and natural surroundings, the house was able to bring in touches of nature into the home. Isn’t that great? Now, can you tell me what you love most about this house we featured today?
