Description:
Looking to design a 2 story mountain home that takes advantage of the amazing views in both directions with a large wrap-around porch on the corner of the house that has both views. Kitchen on the right side of house and medium to large sized windows to take advantage of the views. 2 bedrooms upstairs and downstairs and the garage on left side of house with a large bunk room above it. Home would be approximately 4,000 sq ft, give or take 500 sq ft (excluding garage). Primary entrance on left side of house (side door) near garage and minimalized front door to capture larger windows in that area to take advantage of the views.
Wants:
Looking for something that satisfies our family dream of a layout / conceptual design so that we can get our home built
Don't Wants:
I don't want just a sketch if possible. If there is a way to lay the home out on the landscape using Google Earth and/or the provided photos, that would be amazing to visualize it
Additional Information
I have increased the Prize for the project. Again, thank you for the interest so far. To clarify, I am looking for concept images of the home using the CT Project Examples as the exterior/interior as inspiration (not looking for modern architecture, looking for concepts similar to the photos provided in the CT Project Examples attachment) and wanting to see the home laid out on the provided property as appears was done in Submission #4 (I provided photos and location coordinates in the attachments also). If we can get some concepts that we like, I would then like to work with the designer on a full engagement of plans and detailed specs at significantly more compensation. Thank you.

Could we get some more insight about your likes and dislikes about the current submissions as well as some info into the specifics.

1.In regards to the deck do you want a full house wrap around, just in the back, back and front. And would you like 1st and 2nd floor decking or just 1st floor.

2. The garage, do you have a preference for attached or detached and how many cars would you like it to fit.

3.For the second floor do you want it match the first floor in size or do you want more of a split level situation where it only covers part of the first floor.

4.How complex would you like the roof. For example, the detached garage&;s roof in your PowerPoint is fairly simple with just shingles and running in a single direction, but the first house has a mix of heights, materials, directions etc.

5. This goes along with the roof question how complex would you like the house shape. The first house in the PowerPoint seems to be in a asymmetric T shape with lots of builds outs, while the second is more of a symmetrical rectangle with build outs, and the garage is just a rectangle.

6. Can we get a general idea of what you would like included in the floor plan. For example, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, if you would the bedrooms contained only upstairs, where in the house you would like the kitchen, dining, or living room, if you want a home office, gym, etc.

7. Home atheistic. For the home exterior do you have a preference for wood paneling, a mix of wood and rock, or something else like stucco, brick, painted wood etc. and for colors do you have a wood color you would prefer such as oak, walnut, cherry etc. and would you like the windows, doors and roof trim to match or be painted for example white. For the roof do you want shingles, metal, a mix of both and what color would you like.

8. Do you want a chimney for a fireplace. If so how many and where abouts would you like them located.

Yes, just haven&;t seen any designs yet that are in-line with the vision of the CT Project Examples in the attachment and so will wait until the end to select unless there are some designs that come in that fit the vision and then we would like to work with that designer on a more in-depth plan.

Thank you for the recent submissions everyone. Still looking for something closer to the concept of the CT Project Examples that I provided as an attachment and it featured on the lot locations/photos provided. I would like to pick a designer with whom we have the most overlap on concepts/renderings and then go from there on a more detailed architectural engagement on actual design plans. Thank you.

House facade design within 7 days
We are currently in the process of finalizing the design for a modern villa in the DACH (Germany/Austria/Switzerland) region. We are super happy with the front of the villa. We love the design there. However, we are not happy with the backside facade of the villa. The design misses a clear structure. There is some design element here and there. Windows are a bit randomly positioned from an outside perspective (from the inside it makes sense). So far there is no real light concept for the backside. The idea of the contest is to find our dream design for the backside of our villa. Let me provide some details. There is more in the presentation As can be seen from the floor plan we are planning the stairs with two skybridges (which means there is some space between floor and window) at the right side of the left part of the building. The idea was to have one big window that covers at least two floors. Currently the third floor which is the „Cube“ on the roof is slighthly moved back. We have also planned a small water area in front of the left part of the house so that there is a mini bridge leading to the entrance door (similar to the design of another villa we included in the presentation). There is a stairs going down to the basement where we have on the left a guest room and on the right the living/bed room of the nanny’s flat. Above that is the window to an office with library. The closed space left of it is a wall in the living room which could potentially also become a window. Above that the three windows are kids room / bathroom windows At the top in the cube the three windows are in the bathroom Now so far we have refrained from adding more windows since on the first floor we have on the left the walk-in dressing room where windows are not needed .Then at the top in the cube to the right there is far right the sauna and next to it we need the wall for some fitness device installations inside. Having said that there is always an option to have kind of fake windows where behind them there is a wall. The outcome of the competition should be some illustrations with ideas for the backside of the house also showing or highlighting some materials to be used. In addition some idea with regards to the construction leading to the basement would be welcome. How would that look best in terms of stairs, green area etc. Since we need to finalize the renderings soon, there is only a week time before ending the competition. All details an be found in the presentation including all floor plans. Please feel free to be creative. However the shape oft he building is a given.
