Description.
KRAAI DESIGN presents Ruby Drive, a striking modern mountain residence nestled in the scenic landscape of Crested Butte, Colorado.
Positioned on an elevated site with breathtaking views, the Ruby Drive home features clean architectural lines, a balanced mix of natural wood and dark cladding, and a structure that appears to float above the landscape. The bold, asymmetrical rooflines and expansive glass panels seamlessly integrate the home into its alpine surroundings while creating an inviting, light-filled interior. Ruby Drive exemplifies Kraai Design’s approach to merging refined aesthetics with high-altitude functionality and comfort.
Features.
Open, Flowing Layout
This home is designed around a spacious, open concept that maximizes movement and sightlines. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outdoors inside, allowing panoramic views of the surrounding forest and mountains. The seamless transition between interior and deck spaces offers flexibility and encourages connection with nature.
Sustainable Design
Sustainability is a key element in Ruby Drive’s design. The home utilizes passive solar strategies, high-performance insulation, and sustainable building materials throughout. This approach ensures energy efficiency and comfort all year round, while respecting the unique alpine ecosystem.
Outdoor Integration
Set against the lush backdrop of Crested Butte’s towering trees, the outdoor spaces extend the living experience with a wraparound deck and elevated views. Carefully planned landscaping and natural grading complement the existing terrain, allowing the home to feel like a natural extension of its environment.
