GARDENS
Highlands Retreat presents a refreshing vision of holistic mountain design , one that draws inspiration from its setting by dissolving the barrier between interior and exterior . Outdoor living spaces merge almost imperceptibly with forest and meadow , imbuing the home with a sense of peace , permanence and resilience .
“ Natural materials that age gracefully , including oxidized copper shingles , poplar bark , cedar trim and moss rock , further allow the home to blend seamlessly into its surrounding landscape ,” says Mike .
The home is oriented from east to west with floor to ceiling windows and doors to bring the outdoors in and visually link individual rooms with the surrounding forest .
