This developer’s property lies on the ski hill in Aspen and features a ski-in/ski-out location. Taking advantage of an obviously sloped site, the residence has both a walk-out level to the lower hill and partial basement below the walkout. In order to preserve escape routes at the basement level, concrete window wells were created and covered in stone to preserve exterior aestetics while meeting fire code. This is a four-story wood framed building with steel framing to preserve open floorplan and multiple floor height changes at each level and has a 24-foot tall retaining wall inside residence to support the upper driveway and parking . There is extensive stonework both inside and out, wraparound stone deck/patio and multiple patios and balconies and antique timber wrapped around steel trusses and knee braces as well as true timber trusses, beams and purlins. The circulation between floors has both an elevator and a 23-foot vaulted space with custom window along timber tread staircase.
