The Twin Buttes III Residence is located within the Twin Buttes community in Durango, a neighborhood known for its trail connectivity, access to open space, and close relationship to the surrounding landscape. The home is designed to reflect that context, with a layout that emphasizes connection to the outdoors and a clear, livable organization of space. A restrained material palette and straightforward architectural forms give the residence a grounded, contemporary mountain character, while carefully placed openings bring in natural light and frame views of the surrounding terrain. The design prioritizes comfort, durability, and ease of living, creating a home that feels closely tied to both the neighborhood and the broader landscape it sits within.
