The architectural development of triangular houses usually has a functional or aesthetic-driven purpose. Portland-based studio Skylab Architecture designed a rustic retreat near the town of Snowmass — a popular Colorado travel destination. The structure of the Owl Creek Residence was devised to perfectly integrates into the region's mountainous landscape.
The inherent geometric approach of triangular houses allows for Skylab Architecture's design to provide beautiful and panoramic views for the owners and their guests. Leaving the intricate steel structure of the home exposed, the architects were able to create a contrast between the green-infused landscape and the rusty industrial framework of the Owl Creek Residence.
