Anchored on the steep slopes of Red Mountain with panoramic views, this project is unique in the sense that it offers a new prototype for speculative real estate in Aspen Colorado. The site, while surrounded by much larger awkwardly situated homes, affords stunning views over Aspen to the west and virtually undeveloped views to the south.
Desert form, indigenous materials, natural light and mountain views inspire this home. Layered walls of rammed-earth, metal, concrete and glass create a playful collection of organic forms within a natural desert setting while visually articulating the various functions within.
Situated on a corner lot of 1620 square meters with flat topography, the contemporary-style restaurant is organized from 3 blocks: a service block, a public access block and a block with public toilets. In the basement was positioned the parking.
