Aspen Residence
Aspen, CO USA

Gary Lee Partners was hired to create an interior concept that honored and welcomed the pristine outdoors of the Colorado wilderness. Taking inspiration from the local environment, GLP chose materials that contrasted the darker, charcoal tones of Aspen trees with the lighter, airy feel of a wintry landscape.

The result is an open, expansive interior that allows the owners to host large gatherings in a warm, communal area. Clean and simplified materials provide an inviting contrast to the curvature and textural variety of the furniture, with bold accent pieces allowing for surprising flourishes of color.

Careful attention was paid to the scale of furniture pieces to create small, cozy areas, and also allow for comfort in large numbers. Technology was integrated seamlessly into the design with such features as recessed panels that hide a flat-screen TV, hidden speakers in the media room, and heated floors.

From the bedroom’s suede wall panels to the sightlines in the dining area, the design of this mountain residence is serene and eclectic. Its open plan and focus on natural light encourages the owners and their guests to invite the beauty of the Rocky Mountains indoors.
