Loom 2one-Six in Aspen, Colorado by 1 Friday Design Collaborative

What began as a kitchen remodel within a historic Aspen mining cottage grew to involve a series of artist studio studies for the backyard of the quaint Hyman Avenue residence known as the Pink House. Two very unique directions were initially investigated in direct response to budget concerns and alternate programmatic directions.  Incorporating LEED inspired solutions to take advantage of solar paths and materials with high performance returns was a priority.  For example, the open latticed loft design of the interior space in addition to the window sizing and placements assists in creating a natural heating and cooling feature by allowing the circulation patterns to draft from lower to upper levels accordingly.

The final 500 sq ft gable-massed solution was a direct response to the surrounding historical neighborhood context and heavy evergreen forestation of the studio’s project site. Forms and color choices were playfully simplified and exaggerated to produce a modern take on the very traditional Victorian aesthetic of Aspen’s West End. The interior concept for the studio was inspired by the operation and aesthetic of the traditional weaving loom.  Serving as both a railing and wall for the interior upper loft area, the lattice detailing creates a woven interplay of materials, texture, and shadow within the minimalist space.
