Inspired by recollections of earlier modernism and specifically by detailing in the early houses of Kahn, Schindler and especially Aalto’s Villa Mariea, Madderlake Designs created the house as a work of art. It is a functional abode with equal consideration given to the play of light, and the flow of space, to the abstraction and celebration of form and surface.
It was designed simply and cleanly relying on the natural qualities of the materials themselves and the feel throughout the workman’s hand.
The Conundrum house endeavored to create a home of human scale that speaks to comfort and everyday livability, eschewing a grandiosity pervasive in the region. A relaxing mountain retreat with a separate work studio commissioned by a very active couple and their championship hunting dogs.
The home is meant to be a private retreat, and a family legacy house mandating the use of timeless materials and beautiful workmanship.
The Conundrum home is on full display along one of Colorado’s most significant view corridors the Castle Creek Valley, thus Madderlake felt the responsibility to diminish the mass of the house as seen from afar by physically and visually integrating the house into its setting, making the intersection of architecture and landscape indistinguishable.

Porsche's 800-Volt Gamechanger
Porsche’s Experience Centre in Levi, Finland is usually open to customers who want to finesse their driving skills on low friction surfaces but for one month of the year it became the exclusive venue for the launch of the Porsche Taycan 4S. Not only did it prove Porsche’s technology in unforgiving conditions but we’d be lying if we said we didn’t have a lot of fun in the process. And at the end of it all, Porsche’s first EV felt like it had treaded very lightly on the undisturbed landscape.
