Here is the Gorgeous Modern Fractured House in Boulder, Colorado by Boulder-based architectural firm Studio H: T. This house cool terrace for relaxing with friends and family, the wooden floor and staircase with stylist style.

The resulting volumetric fissure of the building mass organizes the horizontal circulation and creates the space of the stair cavern. The fracture also serves as a connector between the two entries of the long narrow dwelling, thus remediating the challenging circulation issues of building from street to street with a sectional shift of almost 40?. The unique spatial experience is punctuated by, and allows for, highly varied apprehension of form, light, and shadow.” Reference via Chictip | Photos by Raul Garcia

As seen from inside the courtyard, the enceinte transforms into an exterior fireplace and backdrop for the glass-like pool. A wall of foliage on one end provides a panel of green to complement the shimmering blue water; on the other end, a continuous fountain creates a soothing soundtrack. The House itself takes advantage of
