This commission encompassed two separate commissions. The first one was to develop a two story mixed used building on a 48 feet wide by 150 feet deep “party” lot. The second challenge consisted on the design of a new typology of hospitality: a cannabis lounge for the recreational consumption of Marihuana.
The project is facing Boulder’s Downtown Historic District, a Landmark area built around 1880 where most of the lots are 25 feet wide with brick party walls. After World War II plenty of these buildings were modernized with metal and precast facade panels.
Today NO ARCHITECTURE principal and architect Andrew Heid revealed the design for his largest residential design to date: the 8,250 square foot residence “Risingmountain” that ascends a dramatically sloping site on Red Mountain in Aspen, Colorado. In collaboration with Steven Shane with Compass Colorado, the speculative project replaces an existing home at 376 Draw Drive to create a new site-specific home that appeals to the tastes and preferences of Aspen’s new guard.
This 10,000 square foot home is designed for a family of three with a vast community and a penchant for entertaining. Our goal was to optimize the space for both events and privacy, taking into account the various ways in which homeowners and guests alike will interact with the space.
Zeppelin Station, located next to the new rail station at 38th and Blake Street, is a transit-oriented development designed around a ground-floor market and retail hall with office space above. With transit, hotels, restaurants, and concert venuesall within walking distance, Zeppelin Station servesas a social destination for the rapidly evolving River North (RiNO) neighborhood.

Set along a ridgeline with significant mountain views, Ridge House is a family home that thoughtfully blends old and new, indoor and outdoor, and public and private spaces.
At project commencement, the team and the client identified several goals for the redesign, such as: create a space that accommodates a young family; honor the rich history of the project while utilizing materials that patina and improve with age; create a strong indoor-outdoor connection; connect the home to the significant mountain views; create spaces that have visual and/or special connections to other spaces within the house yet remain their own distinct space; and establish areas within the home for specific art.
Located in a walkable, transitional neighborhood near an urban downtown corridor, Space Pod – a nickname given to this structure by the neighbors – acts as a multipurpose space for a young landscape architect. This project was designed to be built in phases and Space Pod is Part I. Part II consists of a Single-Family Residence. The location of each volume on the site was driven by the desire to create a private, sun-filled backyard space, free from large imposing structures.
Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art is a two-story museum in the heart of Denver’s arts and cultural district, the Golden Triangle. Located across the street from the Denver Art Museum and the Clyfford Still Museum, the new 38,000-square-foot museum has a bold presence. At the same time, it stays true to the intimate atmosphere for which Kirkland Museum is known, offering visitors an enhanced salon-like experience. Designed by architect Jim Olson, the new building highlights both the artistry and craft of Kirkland Museum’s internationally renowned decorative art collection and its singular collection of art by Colorado artists.
Desiring to capture the human aspect of the project, Hopkins Architecture’s facade design for the Piktin County Library sought to complement the natural beauty of the project site, while responding to the light visual texture. Rejecting other metals due to cold or bright reflectivity, they opted for an exterior clear coat finish treated with gold and copper pearl to generate reflection of warmth. Pure + FreeForm added rust and gold speckling on top to finish the panels in a discreetly luxurious way, resulting in a subtle beauty, which does not compete with the picturesque mountains in the distance.
”Game On” is a LEED Certified Gold ground-up home resulting from a historic landmark lot split in which the neighboring historic home from the 1890s was originally on one large lot. The historic home was picked up and placed on a new foundation creating a vacant lot for “Game On.” The design was required to be approved by Aspen’s Historic Preservation Commission and needed to stand on its own while being contextual with the historic resource. The purity and execution of the detailing further distinguishes “Game On” bringing a greater clarity to the traditional gable form.
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.
