Casa Bonita: Mountain Contemporary

Casa Bonita: Mountain Contemporary offers a sleek and modern take on mountain living. This design shares the same robust and refined aesthetic of natural materials and Scandinavian influences as the California Mountain Ranch, but with a contemporary twist.

Design Style:

Modern Mountain Living: This design focuses on a more streamlined and contemporary aesthetic, making it a perfect fit for those who appreciate modern design in a mountain setting. The home’s Scandinavian influence is created with the elegant use of timbers and rich materials, utilizing minimal trim, and avoiding ornate details to keep the design clean and straightforward.

Key Features:

Low Sloped Roofline: The low sloped roofline offers a modern design while still being practical for mountain climates, providing a sleek and contemporary look.
Timbers and Natural Materials: Just like the California Mountain Ranch design, the use of timbers provides a sturdy feel, while natural materials such as wood and stone emphasize the connection with nature.
Overhangs for Shading and Protection: Incorporating larger overhangs within the design helps with passive solar shading and water protection, suitable for local climates.
Stone Elements: Stone is prominently used around the home, enhancing the biophilic design and creating continuity between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

If you prefer a more traditional mountain ranch style with a more classic roof angle, the Casa Bonita: California Mountain Ranch design provides the same floor plan and robust use of natural materials.
