Brighton Wilderness sits in a clearing of mature pines, where the ground falls away toward the canyon below. The main level rides the crest of the slope in warm vertical timber, while a stacked-stone lower level is set into the hill and opens onto a sheltered terrace.
A single dark metal roof plane ties the volumes together and keeps the profile low against the treeline. Deep overhangs shade the glass through summer and carry snow cleanly in winter, letting the house read as part of the hillside in every season.
