The public spaces celebrate the present with simple shed roof forms and open volumes, contemporary glass openings, exposed steel structure and interior details, board formed concrete, venetian plaster, and concrete floors. Together, they envisioned the private bedroom spaces within a steep, vintage metal roofed, traditional volume whose charcoal grey clapboard siding renders it a silhouette of SteamboatвЂ™s simple beginnings as a turn of the century Western ranching town. Having pioneered Design/Build in Steamboat Springs eight years prior, their now well practiced integration of experienced designers with meticulous craftsmen was the perfect complement to Susan & TomвЂ™s refined tastes and unique vision. Susan & Tom reasoned that to achieve this more sophisticated architectural vision, they needed a company with truly integrated Architecture and Construction who could coordinate this stylistic interplay, create a high performance and energy efficient structure, and respect the collective vision in the creation and execution of every detailвЂ¦ enter Gerber Berend Design Build, Architecture + Construction. From this unique duality, the collective vision for the home was born: Create a home comfortable in the tradition of Old Town Steamboat, yet coupled with more modern notions of architectural expression, spatial relationships, and material textures. Complement to their respect of the past, they also realized that more contemporary forms, materials, and openings have also become a welcomed part of the Old Town fabric and reflect the true nature of their familyвЂ™s living patterns. When Susan & Tom Jones imagined their home in Steamboat Springs, CO they envisioned a structure strongly rooted in the local historical vernacular of вЂњOld TownвЂќ with gabled roof forms, clapboard siding, metal roofing and modest double hung window openings. Every once in a while, when a residence is conceived and created, the collective visions of the Owners, Architect, and Builder are in perfect alignment and the results are extraordinaryвЂ¦ this is the story of the TS Jones Residence.
