TIMELESS

Creating timeless spaces is the most sustainable design strategy. We create spaces that stand the test of time.

Historic buildings are witnesses to the aesthetic and cultural history, helping to give people a sense of place and connection to the past. By preserving a historic structure and adapting it for new use, we are commiting to conserving the past and defining its future.

“The applicant went far beyond the minimum City of Aspen requirements to restore the Mesa Building and repurpose it as a highly functional studio space. Beautiful Victorian details, which were removed decades ago, including windows, chimneys and the decorative front porch, have been carefully recreated so that this building, the largest false front structure remaining in Aspen, is once again an architectural icon. Preserving its integrity demonstrates the firm’s dedication to preservation and stewardship.”
