Nestled Near The Slopes, A Vail Home Reaches It Peak

A family builds a modern home in Vail that reflects its mountain surroundings and their adventurous spirit.

The house nestles into the property's steep grade, while plenty of windows allow for views of the surrounding mountains. A deck off the family room on the lower level leads to a lawn surrounded by a boulder-lined retaining wall.

Architect Hans Berglund created a modern home in Vail for Tom and Sunny Corrigan marked by vertical reclaimed-wood planks, horizontal cedar siding and Colorado sandstone veneer. Aluminum-clad wood windows by Sierra Pacific Windows play off the rustic materials.

In the dining area, a custom fixture hangs above a custom table crafted by Zachary Petterson, who also made the walnut-slab sideboard. The metal-and-leather dining chairs are by Dot & Bo, and the artwork is by Jennifer O'Meara.

Casey and St. John designed the kitchen cabinets with a functional mix of laminate and walnut, fabricated by Genesis Hospitality Corporation. They hung pendants by Rejuvenation above the island, which is crowned with a countertop of Cygnus Quartzite. The bar chairs are by Gus Modern.

A West Elm rug brightens the entry and helps set the tone for the home's lively palette. A bridge accessed via a sculptural stairway stretches above the front door, by Castlewood Doors and Millwork, and leads to a guest area above the garage.

For the master bedroom, the designers aimed to create a comfortable environment that wouldn't compete with the views. They paired a quilted-leather chair by Arteriors with a stump-like accent table from Inside Out Home Furnishings and Design; custom bedding is made with Kravet fabrics. Leach fashioned the barn door out of reclaimed wood.

Casey and St. John incorporated the home's reclaimed-wood cladding in the light-filled master bathroom. The pendant and sconces are by Currey & Company, and the cabinetry is by Genesis Hospitality Corporation. The tile floor and countertop are from Stone Concepts.

Berglund and builder Ted Leach worked with fabricators at A.G. Welding & Repair to create the custom railings on the large deck. An RH table is encircled by Palecek chairs sporting cushions upholstered with Kravet fabric. Hayley Gough and Lynsey Majewski, owners of Dragonfly Gardening, added to the bright accents with colorful potted plants.
