What better material to bring out the natural, soul-refreshing beauty of living in the Vail Valley than stone? Imagine the perfect home for all seasons. Chances are, you’re envisioning stone within the architectural balance of the space.
Stone Is a Mass that Works for You
Today, with the importance of energy conservation for our environment is well-understood and stone comes forward for its energy-saving properties. Its heat retention powers are outstanding, creating a reliably cozy warmth in the Colorado winter. Yet it has an equally remarkable capacity for helping to keep indoor spaces cool under the summer sun.
Passive eco-aware and solar design features boost these natural benefits considerably. To build with stone is to blend inherently good insulation—and the all-season comfort it brings—with timeless elegance.
Stone Endures
It is famously beautiful, with many hues & textures, and eminently durable. It resists insects and stands up to all of nature’s elements. Maintenance is simple and minimal. With neither painting nor siding needed, a stone exterior retains its appeal through the years.
Great design work with stone exteriors and interior touches will combine form and function, selecting the best stone for each feature. Whether creating a home from the start, or redesigning a specific area, we often call upon stone to dramatically offset key architectural features in the home—a fireplace, a classic hearth, a Kitchen stove surround, an entry vestibule into a Master Suite or Entry Vestibule into the home.
Stone also performs as an enhancement of lasting beauty when surrounding metal, glass, or wood features. It offers a luxurious and serene wall setting in a bathroom, kitchen, or space for relaxation such as a den. It can also enhance a water feature within or outside a home.
