TownE

A family with aspirations to retire full time in Crested Butte put their ideals to work in the design of this thoughtful, efficient all electric home in the Town of Crested Butte. They prioritized sustainable design practices, including use of photovoltaic roof panels, a highly insulated building envelope and an air to water heat source pump. Charging capacity for two electric vehicles will be installed.

A compact yet efficient floor plan offers generous space for both rest and productivity, tailored to the needs of the homeowners and their family. One home office is designed with flexibility in mind—easily converting into a guest bedroom with direct access to a full bath. The second work space is a jewelry studio that accommodates an exercise bike, balancing wellness and work. Above the one-car garage, an accessory dwelling provides long-term housing for a local resident.

Sunny first floor living spaces open south to a courtyard patio with a seating area, grill and hot tub. Exposed steel beams on the interior give a contemporary feel and allow for easy flow in column free living areas. The second floor primary suite is private and takes advantage of the premium north facing mountain views.

Thermory real wood siding offers a natural, long-lasting exterior that weathers beautifully over time. A standing seam roof is the ideal surface for solar panels. Flagstone patios and walkways create inviting outdoor spaces while allowing rainwater and snowmelt to permeate naturally. This modern interpretation of an in-town home blends durability, sustainability, and timeless design.
