01 · The idea
Concept
The lot is the brief. Pagosa Peak on the horizon, a dirt pad, the first machine. Before timber goes up, this is the idea standing in the weather.
Process

02 · Groundwork
Foundation
The machine hits the slope. Cut, fill, stem walls, and footings engineered for freeze-thaw and mountain drainage.
03 · Structure
Frame
Heavy logs and steel. Shear walls lock the roof, and a mountain ranch finds its bones.
04 · The dormer
Change request
In this concept, an additional dormer brings more light into the loft. The design evolves as the possibilities become clearer.
05 · The finished concept
Realization
Lights on, landscaping in place, and a mountain home imagined in full. From concept to realization, Matterhorn Construction is with you every step of the way—right up to the moment we hand you the keys.
