A new expression of mountain living begins with the details.

Rooted in the warmth and character of the Rockies, our latest interior design exploration reimagines traditional mountain aesthetics through a more contemporary lens. Natural stone, rich wood tones, and tactile finishes introduce depth and texture, while clean lines and thoughtful contrasts bring a sense of quiet sophistication.

As part of a broader architectural and interior design project for this Aspen residence, our team has developed two distinct design directions for the clients to explore, each offering a thoughtful interpretation of a modernized mountain retreat. Through curated selections of materials, fixtures, and lighting, both concepts seek to enhance the primary bathroom while respecting the home's existing architectural character.

From showroom visits and material studies to clients considering different expressions of texture, tone, and contrast before refining their preferred direction.

It is an exploration of balance—between old and new, warmth and restraint, mountain tradition and contemporary living.

A sense of calm, a connection to nature, and space to experience both.

Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of ikigai, or finding purpose in life, this contemporary Aspen residence embodies a thoughtful balance between stillness and vitality. Grounded in natural materials and layered architectural forms, the home opens to its surroundings through expansive glazing, framed mountain views, and fluid transitions between indoors and out.

The warmth of textured wood and stone, the interplay of light and shadow, and carefully considered spatial transitions create an experience that engages the senses and deepens the connection to the landscape.

The result is a modern sanctuary where architecture becomes an expression of intentional living, and luxury is found in simplicity, harmony, and a profound sense of place.

At Hayes House, history wasn’t simply preserved—it became part of the design.

On a compact lot in Aspen’s West End, the original historic cabin was carefully moved to the front of the property and restored, preserving its presence within the neighborhood. Behind it, a distinctly contemporary residence introduces a new chapter—one shaped by modern mountain living.

Between the two, a courtyard becomes the connective heart of the home. More than an outdoor space, it creates a deliberate pause between past and present—a place where the restored cabin and new architecture meet, while each retains its own identity.

The beauty is in that dialogue: historic character against crisp modern forms, intimate scale alongside expansive glass, and architecture from different eras brought into thoughtful conversation. Rather than asking the new to imitate the old, contrast creates continuity.

Hayes House is enduring architecture that respects where a place has been while imagining where it can go next.

Community is part of our legacy. 🤝

The end of the summer gave our team many opportunities to step outside the office and spend time with the people and organizations that make the Roaring Fork Valley such an extraordinary place to call home.

From the golf course to gatherings supporting education, the arts, sustainability, leadership, and community well-being, we’re grateful to show up, participate, and give back to the communities that have supported Z Group for generations.

A look back at where we’ve been lately:

⛳ Aspen One Charity Golf Tournament | Caring for Community and Environmental funds
🍷 Snowmass W**e Festival | Rotary Club of Snowmass Village — Bronze Sponsor
🌱 CORE Green Expo — Business Sponsor
⛳ Paragon Systems Golf Tournament | Aspen Hope Center
📚 Basalt Education Foundation — Annual Bronze Sponsor
🎨 The Art Base Name Unseen pARTy — Silver Sponsor
⛳ Leadership at the Links Golf Tournament | Roaring Fork Leadership — Bar Cart Sponsor
🎈 Snowmass Balloon Festival

Some moments are pictured here; many others happen beyond the camera. Together, they reflect something we believe deeply: being part of a community means being invested in its future.

Thank you to the organizations, volunteers, neighbors, and fellow community partners who continue to make an impact throughout the Roaring Fork Valley.
