Description

Built in 1957, the original modernist one-story residence designed by Bauhaus Architect Herbert Bayer sits quietly amid its Victorian neighbors in Aspen's West End neighborhood. Sensitively sited away from the street at the northern end of the lot, the stylistic contrast between Bayer's simple, horizontal, flat-roofed box and the adjacent gabled Victorian cottages is muted by an expansive green lawn shaded by cottonwood and aspen trees. The original facade presented concrete block in a stacked bond pattern and aluminum-framed windows. Today, a coat of off-white stucco covers the concrete block.

Roaring Fork Leadership was founded in 1998 by a group of local citizens concerned about the need to strengthen relationships and skills among community leaders. Our very own Ryan Walterscheid graduated in May after a rigorous 8-month course with 33 other members of the 2014 class.

For over 10 years, CCA worked with Theatre Aspen to re-design their tent in Rio Grande Park in downtown Aspen. Low sloped gabled rooflines mirror the tent walls establishing an appropriate scale. The multi-wall polycarbonate panels fade to clear to minimize glare and potential heat gain. Upward pivoting doors manually lift and remain open with gas springs, opening the lobby completely to the wetland retreat.
