Driftwood is a new single-family home in the early stages of design, nestled in the high plains just outside Denver, Colorado. Designed to feel both grounded and quietly elevated, the home responds to the natural features of the land with thoughtful composition, generous overhangs, and full-height glazing that dissolves the boundary between indoors and out. Natural materials—weathered wood, exposed concrete, and steel—are used with honesty and restraint, celebrating their inherent textures, craftsmanship, and ability to age gracefully with the site. The design balances modern simplicity with lasting warmth: clean lines and open spaces are softened by tactile surfaces and sunlit courtyards. Sustainability is embedded in every decision, from passive solar orientation and deep eaves to a planted roof that enhances thermal performance while rooting the structure in its surroundings. Light animates the home throughout the day, filtering through clerestories and shaded apertures to connect interior life to the rhythms of season and sky. Above all, Driftwood is a quiet, enduring home—crafted in response to its place, and in harmony with the natural world around it.
