RESIDENTIAL · COLORADO

A circular drive brings visitors to a covered entrance and a mirrored chrome front door. Inside, walnut columns recur across the different levels, and full-height glazing in the double-height living room looks out towards the Rocky Mountains. Named Puttin’ on the Ritz, the private residence has interiors by Kimberly Timmons Interiors. Designers Nikki Holt and Carter Brasch drew on the arrival experience of classic hotels, providing separate rooms for the couple’s everyday life and for larger gatherings.

A ring-shaped sculpture stands in the entrance forecourt, with a red convertible parked beneath the covered entrance.

## FROM DRIVEWAY TO LIVING ROOM

The sense of arrival begins at the driveway. Vehicles follow the circular route to the covered entrance; inside, timber columns and successive openings lead the eye towards the living room. A limestone fireplace wall rises through two storeys, with glazing extending to the upper reaches of the room. Sofas, armchairs and low tables are grouped together on a single rug.

Glass balustrades follow the curved staircase down to the lower level. The stair treads have a liquid-metal finish beside the transparent glass. A home cinema, golf simulator room and bar are grouped on the lower level.

Large windows wrap around two sides of the living room, where sofas and armchairs surround low tables.

Sunset light enters through the double-height windows; sofas sit beneath the pendants and a piano stands near the glazing.

Full-height glazing extends from the front of the living room along the side wall, with the sofa area facing the treetops outside.

## WOOD AND STONE IN DAYLIGHT

Cream and warm grey cover much of the interior, alongside walnut columns, cabinetry and timber floors. Daylight enters through the living room’s full-height windows, revealing the texture of the limestone. In the dusk photographs, warm light falls across the timber floor beneath groups of pendant lights above the sofas.

Installed by Moderno Porcelain, the kitchen island is clad on three sides in porcelain slabs, with the veining continuing over the edges from the worktop to the sides. The lower-level bar uses backlit onyx; light passes through the stone from behind, bringing out its pattern.

Chairs line both sides of the long dining table, with pendants arranged along its length and distant views through the windows.

Vessels sit on the dark tabletop, with a textured wall behind and pendants hanging above the edge of the table.

Illuminated display niches occupy one side of a column; a round table and window-side chairs are visible on the other.

An abstract work hangs above a dark sideboard, flanked by two tall table lamps.

## SEPARATE CATERING AND PRIVATE LIVING

Chairs line both sides of the long table in the formal dining room, with views outside through the large windows. A catering kitchen is set apart from the main living areas for food preparation during large gatherings.

The primary suite has a concealed coffee bar. Its sitting room has a fireplace, while the bathtub stands on a raised platform in the bathroom.
