This week for Feature Home Friday, we are featuring our Edgewood Creek Residence spans two sloped lots in Snowmass, bringing together ski-in, ski-out access and a landscape defined by creeks, ponds, and waterfalls. From the beginning, the design focused on preserving the natural character of the site while creating a home that felt deeply connected to its surroundings.

Expansive glazing, exposed steel trusses, and oversized glass doors open the new living spaces toward the river, bringing light, views, and fresh air deep into the home. The original cabin was reworked to accommodate the primary suite and guest rooms, with the upper-level bedroom opening onto a private deck overlooking the water. Throughout the project, the architecture was carefully scaled to the site, using simple forms and natural materials to respect the quiet character of the river corridor while creating a home that feels open, comfortable, and connected to its surroundings.

The Still was designed as a quiet response to the pace and intensity of everyday life. Set against the San Sophia Range, the home opens deliberately toward breathtaking views while grounding itself into the hillside with stone walls and restrained architectural forms. The steep site and ski access shaped the experience of movement through the home, creating a carefully choreographed sequence from arrival to the panoramic views beyond.

A luxury home designed around a state-of-the-art wellness experience. What do you think?

It’s Feature Home Friday! This week are featuring our 401 Carroll Residence. The home was designed around both gathering and retreat, with interior and exterior spaces working seamlessly together. The architecture balances expansive scale with restraint, using long horizontal forms, natural materials, and oversized glass to frame panoramic views of the Elk Mountain Range. Arrival happens through a quiet landscaped courtyard before the home gradually opens outward to the mountains, allowing the relationship between architecture and landscape to unfold intentionally. This property is currently for sale. Check out the listing in our BIO.

Behind every finished space are hundreds of thoughtful decisions, conversations, sketches, models, and refinements. Taking the time to explore possibilities early allows us to solve challenges before construction begins and create a home that truly reflects the people who will live there.

Every project starts the same way: with your ideas. Everything that follows is simply the process of bringing them to life. 🤍
