Nove 2 in Aspen, Colorado by Studio B Architects

This small residual wedge-shaped property sat vacant for years given its many site restraints and complexities including; front streets on two sides, 10’-0” snow storage easements on 2 sides, buried City of Aspen main water and electric lines directly under the building footprint which required re-location and a year of approvals and strict zoning ordinances given its location in Aspen’s Historic West End.

The resulting solution is a direct response to these parameters and is a stone clad ‘sculpture’ which hints to the owners’ art collection housed primarily within its double-height space.
