Houzz at a Glance
Location: Near Durango, Colorado
Who lives here: Rosalind and Tom Buffaloe — she’s a retired school administrator; he’s in aircraft leasing
Size: Three bedrooms, 3½ bathrooms
The couple decided to relocate and build, and asked architect Matthew Clark of Clark & Chapin Architects to help them create a home that could accommodate their casual lifestyle, houseguests and the aircraft. Clark came up with a modern, single-story design that includes a main residence and an attached guesthouse, as well as a hangar with an office and a bunkhouse for extra guests. The house is sited on a flat field with mountain views.
“We knew we wanted to use concrete, glass and metal as the home’s primary materials,” Tom says. “We didn’t have a certain style in mind. We just asked Matt Clark to make it comfortable.”
Clark, who worked with Durango builder Randy Gerken, responded with a low-profile design that uses panel-formed concrete, steel panels, Douglas fir, large stretches of window walls and, as a nod to the aircraft, silver-hued zinc cladding. He also angled the home and the separate hangar to capture the views and to open onto numerous patios.
