On November 10, the Wall Street Journal revealed that the model had spent $5.5 million on a home in Crested Butte, about 20 miles south of Aspen. The news came just a day after Hadid hard-launched her new boyfriend, construction project manager Nathan Lacy, whose connection to the area goes back five generations. According to a statement Hadid’s listing agent gave to the WSJ, she had been living in the region for “several months” before pulling the trigger on her unique new digs, built from two coal miner sheds that date to the early 20th century.Situated just a few feet from Coal Creek, the 2,000-square-foot residence is complete with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The sellers built the home in 2001, using two existing structures composed of wood and corrugated metal that had stood on the property for 100 years. The sheds were reassembled over a new foundation, with each wooden plank returned to its exact spot on its wall, according to the WSJ. Antique timber from an old Montana mine makes up the rest of the exterior, while pine reclaimed from an 18th-century Virginia barn lines the floors.The sisters grew up on the West Coast, but have lived in NYC for most of their careersA reverse floor plan was designed to let more light into the upper level common areas, like the fireplace-warmed great room, when snow piles up around the ground floor.
