In 2003, a mountain home was destroyed by a blizzard which brought
seven feet of snow to the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Wanting to
ensure as much as possible that his home would not be damaged
by natural disasters, including wildfire, the owner decided to use his
metal fabricating expertise to build his house.

His vision was to create a basic concrete and metal structure. The
other members of his family, however, wanted a bit more warmth for
their new living environment. Monica Durante Interiors worked with the
owner to transform the massive space into a fabulous home; one
made of concrete and metal, but with inviting warmth and incredible
style. This one of a kind redesign gained the attention of HGTV, which
filmed the project in July of 2007 for a new series, "Extreme Living".
The segment aired in July 2008.

The Metal House design project in Evergreen, Colorado spanned over 2 1/2 years. View the slideshow below to see details of the project.

"To share my talents and give someone the feeling of comfort and happiness in their own home for me is a true joy."
