The McClymonds Residence is set in the woods North of Durango in the Animas Valley. The home borders a creek on the south side and was located on the site to save many of the mature ponderosa pines. It sits a good distance back from the country road that provides access to the property to ensure privacy. The design program called for all the living space to be on a single level with most of the spaces opening to an expansive backyard with access to the creek. The traditional mountain style and detailing fits well within the context of its surroundings.
