One of the spaces our clients consistently ask for is a thoughtfully designed spa and wellness retreat at home.

For Alpha 1, our team created a private wellness experience that goes far beyond a traditional home gym. The fully outfitted gym was carefully designed for acoustics, delivering an immersive sound experience while minimizing noise throughout the home.

From there, a custom spa vestibule leads to a private massage room, steam room and sauna. Carefully selected materials and a cohesive palette connect each space, while custom lighting, air handling and other details were designed around how the spaces would be enjoyed.

Big thanks to Michael McCarthy MichaelMcCarthy and Aspen Magazine | Modern Luxury / Modern Luxury for a beautiful feature of our Sunshine Mountain Project. This was a particularly interesting project architecturally, on one of the steepest lots on Red Mountain...and one centered around wellness. If you haven’t seen the video on our website, it’s worth a view! Pick up the mid-summer issue of Aspen Magazine now! Click the link in our bio for more…

We believe the most memorable moments in a home are often found in the smallest details. This is one common theme you’ll see in our work...clean, clever and thoughtful detailing. Here, leathered marble meets white oak, while a concealed light well washes the surface with a soft glow. The composition is quiet yet powerful, celebrating the natural beauty of each material.

The most magical primary bedroom. Our client, an avid skier and outdoors-lover, asked for a bedroom with a great view. Mission accomplished!

Seamless built-in cabinetry houses their found treasures, soft integrated lighting creates a warm evening glow, two incredibly comfortable chairs (you should feel these!) are the owners’ favorite spot. A sleek walk-in closet sits adjacent the primary bath...which we’ll show you another day. But for now, let’s talk about that view! The Continental Divide and Aspen Mountain...then extending down to Sopris. Pretty incredible.

Memorial Day in the mountains, with one extraordinary outdoor theatre (with motorized screen where movies can be watched during the day or night), outdoor living, kitchen and game room that opens completely to the outdoors. Throw in the infinity edge pool and hot tub and you’ve got the very best in outdoor living! All of this powered by geothermal and solar, earning this private residence, a LEED For Homes certification! One of our favorite clients and favorite homes.

Enjoy the long weekend folks!

A little design moment at the new Paul JAS Center. Throughout the space you can see quiet details, texture, warmth, pattern, and history. It was an honor to design not only the architecture but also the interiors of such an essential community gem. Excited for the many fun nights ahead with

We’re honored to share that Alpha 1 received a LUXE Red Award from LUXE Interiors + Design for WOW Factor Room last night!

At the heart of the home, the Great Room was designed to do exactly that. Framed by expansive glass and anchored by a sense of warmth and scale, it blurs the line between indoors and out, opening to sweeping views while remaining deeply grounded and inviting. It’s a space that brings people together, where interiors and architecture work in quiet harmony to create something both striking and effortless.

We’re incredibly grateful to our clients for their trust, and to the talented collaborators and our CCA interiors and architectural teams who brought this vision to life. And sincere thanks to and the team at for recognizing this project.
