## Resource

Casa Colibri is a quiet retreat tucked into the hillside of Barton Hills. The lower level is carved into the slope to reduce visual impact and preserve the surrounding tree canopy. A plaster-coated limestone wall with a German schmear finish—referencing neighborhood materials—anchors this level and forms a privacy wall at the street, shaping a calm and grounded entry. Above, the second floor hovers lightly over the base, separated by a clerestory. At the rear, expansive glass opens to trees, a pool, and pool house. With the upper floor nestled in the canopy, the primary suite takes on a quiet, treehouse-like feel. The house lives like a modern terrarium: glassy, calm, and immersed in nature. Casa Colibri offers a layered, inward-facing way to live with the landscape—private, peaceful, and deeply rooted in its setting. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
