Alpha 1 unites refined architecture with Aspen’s alpine context, creating a serene family retreat rooted in material richness and spatial clarity. Within a constrained envelope, angular rooflines and a palette of wood, stone, and steel define a cohesive exterior. Expansive glazing connects interiors to curated views, while the innovative hydraulic pool deck transforms terrace to pool. Guest suites, wellness amenities, and family gathering spaces complete a tranquil, yet dynamic retreat attuned to nature. A large solar array and geothermal infrastructure highlight the home's sustainability.
