Rivers Edge

The Salida Residence, envisioned as the main home for a family, is nestled in a breathtaking rural locale boasting panoramic mountain vistas and a view of the Arkansas River, near the culturally vibrant town of Salida, Colorado. The living spaces are designed to forge a connection with the awe-inspiring scenery, including the adjacent Arkansas River and the towering Collegiate Peaks like Mt. Shavano, Mt Antero, and Mount Princeton. Positioned above the river and meadows, the home’s secondary areas offer framed views of the individual peaks, the river’s flow, and the northern canyons. The residence is grounded on one end by a weathered steel garage, while the opposite end extends over the Arkansas River. Its understated profile ensures that the mountainous horizon is visible across and above the structure, integrating the home into its majestic surroundings.
