CONTEXTUAL

Designing spaces that reinforce historical contexts

Our firm has extensive experience working on historic preservation projects and we understand the importance of conservation. We are leaders of historic preservation within our own community and throughout Colorado. Rowland+Broughton is proud to be the recipient of multiple Aspen Historic Preservation Commission Awards.

Before starting the design work, we research a building’s historic character and perform feasibility studies to determine the plan for a successful restoration. Once we have completed our studies and research, we submit reports detailing the steps forward and opportunities to carry the historic resource into the future.

The adjacent historic home was picked up and placed on a new foundation creating a vacant lot for “Game On.” The new home 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.

We work to create balance within spaces, tying into the historic fabric while modernizing, highlighting the unexpected, enhancing beauty, and providing meaningful details.
