6 Custom Homes to Swoon Over

When done right, mountain home architecture can completely take your breath away

When it comes to spectacular mountain home design, great architecture is the foundation of the home's "wow" factor.  Floor-to-ceiling windows and large sliding doors capitalize on natural sunlight and sweeping views of nearby peaks, while creating indoor-outdoor living opportunities. Even with a mountain modern design approach, the use of natural and luxury-rustic materials complements the landscape and creates stand-out design. And then there's the incorporation of outdoor space—pools and spas; wrap-around decks and balconies; stone patios and wooden trellises, just to name a few—which really makes for great living.

When done right, mountain home architecture can completely take your breath away. Take a look at these awe-inspiring designs.
