Star Mesa
Douglas Fir Beams and dry stacked Telluride stone traverse the exterior and interior of the home, with antique re-sawn white oak flooring seen throughout. Two great rooms allow guests to spread out on the main floor. Above the fireplace, the owners found “Bert,” a stuffed highland goat. With the addition of the second, more intimate great room, they found his brother “Ernie”. The tight-knit family loved the idea of keeping the brothers together.
Flanked by two great rooms and a casual dining space, the kitchen takes center-stage with its sophisticated material palette and elegant lighting. Telluride stone columns with Colorado Buff Limestone caps border the Stantos Redwood cabinetry, with clear hardware. Charles photographed the fall Aspen Trees for the client, and beautifully framed the massive image to create a window into the outside world.
The master suite on the main level curves gracefully around the side of the home opening to the mountain views. Furnishings by Fendi create a fresh yet luxurious feel with cove lighting and the stone fireplace. The opulent master bath was designed with two vanities separated by a glass and marble shower, opening to the bathtub with picture windows and crystal chandeliers.
Ascending the antique white oak steps, cut Colorado Buff columns with ox horn lamps and glass doors lead to the Star Mesa wine cellar housing 1,100 bottles. An arcade, custom theatre, bunkroom, and additional guest rooms compose the lower level—which shares in the same rich material palette.
