Conceived as a study in controlled drama, The Obsidian Villa announces itself through a 60-foot basalt-clad façade set against a backdrop of old-growth aspen and granite peaks. The architect Kengo Kuma drew inspiration from traditional Japanese shoin architecture — each space is defined by an interplay of shadow, natural material, and carefully borrowed landscape views.
The double-height entry gallery gives way to a great room with a 22-foot ceiling and a 40-foot automated glazed wall that opens the entire south face of the house to the mountain terrace. The primary suite features a Waterworks bathroom finished in honed black marble with freestanding Japanese soaking tub. A dedicated ski preparation room, heated underground garage, and a private wellness pavilion with cold-plunge pool and steam room round out the specification.
