For a modern mountain home in Colorado, choosing materials that best fit with the landscape led to a one-of-a-kind rustic mountain home recently featured by Dwell https://www.dwell.com/article/colorado-home-san-juan-mountains-metal-roofing-alliance-35c97c3f
A metal roof was selected for its beauty and performance benefits, adding to the home’s overall architectural style and timeless qualities.
The roof also provides ease and comfort, shedding snow and ice in the winter and helping the home stay cool under intense UV exposure.

The best of modern design meets mountain motif in the latest gorgeous home featured by Dwell, a leading residential home news source known as the bible for incredibly stylish modern architectural trends.
The home, located in Colorado and surrounded by stunning mountains and southwestern mesas, is striking for its organic and modern reinterpretation of a mountain cabin. Clad with horizontal western cedar that lends a striking texture and grain pattern to the exterior, the wide panel standing seam metal roof was selected as the perfect complement to highlight not only the home’s architecture, but the surrounding environment.
In a shade called “matte musket gray,” the roof, sourced from Phoenix-based Western States Metal Roofing, is a major focal point of the home’s exterior, helping highlight the beautiful simplicity yet uniqueness of the design. The roof’s hue adds architectural style and visual interest, creating ever-changing dynamic variations in different light throughout the day—a characteristic that would be virtually impossible to achieve with any other roofing material.
And the home’s metal roof is as practical as it as beautiful, reflecting solar heat during the summer months while shedding snow and protecting from ice damming in the winter.
As Michael Echavarria, designer and founder of Sonoma, California-based AVA DUNE Studio who designed the home says, “The roof truly ended up serving multiple roles—functional, aesthetic, and compositional.”
