THE EDGE in Aspen, Colorado Designed by Studio B Architects

The 1.75-acre building site is wedged between steep avalanche fields beneath Shadow Mountain and overhangs Castle Creek below. The shape is challenging and full of opportunities in the form of covering the twenty-four feet slopes. The house merged with surrounding landscapes the resulting terraces, gardens and decks yield several exterior spaces while capturing specific views. The roof and eave projections serve as a sound deflector for the river and also act as shading canopies.<via>
