Perched on a ridge in Starwood, Barn Studio appears to be the remnant of a collapsed rubble-stone agrarian structure but is in fact entirely modern, built by its original owner as a
contemporary folly. Our clients, saw it as the cornerstone of a family compound and our task was to make the folly habitable for the family while maintaining its eccentric character, with crescent-shaped spaces tucked into the curve of the stone and double-height glazing opening the living area to the view.

Our clients had spent summers and school breaks in this Queen Anne Victorian since 2007, with three daughters and, as you can imagine, the number of friends that go along with that. They wanted a house made for entertaining, with room for the whole family to spread out and plenty of places for guests to land.

For years, the original Victorian rooms sat almost entirely unused while everyday life happened in the late-1990s addition. An unused guest suite blocked the way through the old house and cut the living spaces off from one another. Removing it let us open up the living room, which now holds several seating areas, and turn the front parlor into a bar that leads toward the kitchen. With two paths through the front of the house, the oldest part of the home is now where everyone gathers.

Orcas Island rains more months than not, and we designed this cozy cottage with that in mind. This is a house for a life spent going in and out — hiking boots, wet dogs, muddy floors — so flooring throughout is durable large-format porcelain tile, selected to withstand the area’s variable weather and the demands of everyday life. Beyond the centrally located open kitchen, complete with a quartzite-topped walnut cabinet system and island, the main living area features extensive storage and library space. Ample seating invites settling in with a book or warming up by the modern suspended fireplace.

This Queen Anne Victorian in Aspen’s West End had gone largely untouched for decades, and our aim was to make it work for the family without losing what made it special in the first place. We kept the historic staircase where it has always stood and gave it a ribbon of muted metal, a moment of contrast that still respects its curve. In the kitchen, where the Victorian meets its late-1990s addition, contemporary stainless steel pairs with black soapstone, a long-standing material that grounds the space. We opened up the living rooms so the house flows from one space to the next, and the front parlor, long underused, became a place to gather again. In the bathrooms, marble from Colorado gives the house a regional connection.

As families grow, the appeal of a place that brings everyone together grows with them. Creek House was designed as a retreat for multi-generational gathering and aging in place. With thirty family members to consider, we asked everyone what they wanted the house to be. That input shaped a vision centered on unforced togetherness, extending from the house to the surrounding landscape.

To improve energy performance and reduce the home’s carbon footprint, we reused the site of a pre-existing house and rotated the new building outside the 100-year floodplain setback. Every living space has a visual and auditory connection to the adjacent creek, from which the house takes its name.

This is our own home, and the distinction that matters here isn’t that we designed it. It’s that we made it. Nearly everything inside was custom, down to the coffee table and the couch built to fit our exact bedroom, decided by the two of us without a client to please or a brief beyond our own instincts.

Tucked into the mountainside, Shadow Mountain House opens its upper level onto a gracious walk-out terrace for outdoor entertaining. That same push and pull between grounded and open shows up in the building’s skin. Standing-seam metal siding was pulled and stretched across the upper level, creating aperture-style picture windows that emphasize each opening. Stucco was used on the main level below as a subdued, monolithic base, so the expressive upper level, terrace included, reads first.

Sustainability comes up often in conversations about our work. It shows in our materials and methods, and most of all in our preference for renovating existing buildings whenever we can. A recent AIA piece put it plainly: renovation preserves the carbon, material, and craft already invested in a structure while still delivering the economic and environmental performance owners want.

Convergent design is central to how we approach renovation: architecture, interiors, and landscape developed together from the outset, so one design intent carries from concept to detail. That often comes through in wood. We’ve kept original glulam beams and built around them, preserved and re-detailed existing cedar siding, and reclaimed weathered ceilings for reuse.

As the season of gathering approaches, we’re reminded that generosity and hospitality run together. We design great rooms and dining spaces to accommodate gatherings at every scale. Spaces with specific uses, designed to let people participate together, break off into smaller groups, or enjoy solitary pursuits, whichever the moment calls for.

A look inside our renovation of a Queen Anne Victorian in Aspen’s West End, now featured in Mansion Global.

Built during Aspen’s silver boom, the house remained a largely intact Victorian, with a 1990s addition where the homeowners, Austin-based collectors, spent most of their time.

Much of our work is about editing. Here, removing an unused guest suite opened up the living room and created new paths through the dining room and a new bar to the kitchen, bringing the historic rooms back into daily use.
At the entry, a thin metal ribbon now wraps the original stair, its finish echoed in the stainless steel kitchen. Lime-washed floors set off the family’s contemporary art, including patrickeugeneart’s “Moonflower” above the bar.
