Brief description

Rooted in a strong modernist aesthetic, Studio B's fresh, minimalist design, elegant site integration and seamless interplay between architecture, interiors and nature have garnered increasing national attention since the firm's founding in Aspen, Colorado in 1991. With more than 45 prestigious design awards received over the last decade, and recognition by the American Institute of Architects/Colorado as the organization's '2009 Firm of the Year', Studio B's influence and growing portfolio of modernist work have continued to draw attention far beyond the Rocky Mountain West.

The firm's work —set in diverse residential and civic environs across the United States, in Zambia and the Virgin Islands— draws innovators, art collectors and design-sensitive clients who want to live and work within spaces that inspire others to follow. Although the firm's work has been featured in more than 70 local, national and international books, journals and magazines, Studio B's designers continue to raise the bar through rigorous exploration into sustainable approaches, innovative use of materials, and openness to new building technologies. As a result, their rich design solutions bring unexpected delights to those who inhabit, frequent or work within the homes, churches, schools and community buildings they create.

Discerning clients —drawn to the firm's visually evocative yet highly functional architecture, detailed service and active engagement of the client— find that Studio B's inventive approach not only exceeds expectations, but elevates and enriches one's life experience overall. The resultant inclusive, collaborative design process—known for genuinely valuing client and community input and ideas—brings an added intimate dimension to the team's evolving conversation of intellectual inquiry, exploration and discovery.

Studio B brings a rare level of artistry to their notable designs elegantly accomplished through an unforgettable, egoless, engaging experience that catalyzes new clients to seek them out and former patrons to work with them again.
