Vertical Arts Architecture Strawberry Park Homestead
Description
For homeowners Jeremy and Krysta MacGray, they wanted to design their forever home in Steamboat Springs in a way that made it feel like it had always belonged there. They envisioned a property composed of three distinct architectural elements: a small cabin, a modest early-1900s-inspired farmhouse, and a barn-like structure. Each piece was designed with its own proportions, style, and detailing to reinforce the idea of a homestead that evolved over time. Rather than creating a single continuous structure, the design allows each building to retain its own identity, with each looking as if it were built at a different time. The cabin maintains smaller rooms and low eaves, while the farmhouse introduces simple gables and practical layouts. The barn section brings in taller ceilings and expanded gathering spaces. Inside, Krysta shaped the interiors to reflect the character of each form, keeping the palette simple and the materials connected to the home’s charm. Though distinct, the three parts work together through shared material tones, scale and architectural character. The project reflects the MacGray’s desire for a house with depth and history – one that feels intentionally collected while supporting the needs of a modern family’s everyday life.
