AIA Colorado 2017 Architect of the Year Believes in Getting Back to the Basics
If you walk into Studio B Architecture + Interiors in Aspen, you’re likely to see the computers turned off, while the employees draw, sketch and craft study models. You might see CU Denver architecture students learning to sketch a nude model during the firm’s annual summer studio intensive. Or, you might even find the office empty because the staff is attending their annual vision retreat at the Aspen Institute or have escaped on one of their annual sketching trips.
These are just a few of the unique aspects which make Studio B a special firm clearly focused on design excellence. Founder and design principal, Scott Lindenau, FAIA believes that for an architect to truly excel, he/she must know how to draw, understand who they are as a designer and contribute to their firm’s collective vision.

The building serves as a multipurpose space for a young landscape architect. It is the first stage of a larger project, with the second phase entailing the construction of a single-family home on the property.
“The location of each volume on the site was driven by the desire to create a private, sun-filled backyard space, free from large imposing structures,” said Studio B Architecture + Interiors, which has offices in Boulder and Aspen.

The team conceived a low-lying box faced with dark bricks supplied by a company in Italy. The masonry helps strengthen the home’s connection to its historic neighbours.
“This project draws its material palette from the surrounding, smaller-scale brick bungalows and implements handmade brick – a low-maintenance, high-quality and durable material of striking natural beauty,” the team said.

For the buildings’ facades, the team opted for sturdy materials that worked in harmony with the context.
“A palette of modest but durable materials – rusted metal shingles, fibre-cement board and Western red cedar siding – were selected for their compatibility with the existing campus context and for low maintenance,” the architects said.

American firm Studio B faced challenging site conditions while conceiving this contemporary Colorado dwelling that sits atop a concrete plinth.
The Zale Residence is situated on a sloped, angular property in the mountain town of Aspen. Located within walking distance to downtown, the home enjoys “ample sunshine and great views to Aspen Mountain”.

Aspen Community School in Aspen Sojourner
The Aspen Community School which was completed in the Fall of 2015 was featured in the Summer edition of Aspen Sojourner Magazine.
“In an effort to create synergy between the new school, the surrounding landscape, and existing buildings nearby, the Studio B team chose building materials that reflected Woody Creek’s agricultural heritage. For example, they positioned the metal exterior siding in horizontal bands to echo the older log structures elsewhere on campus and create the feeling that the buildings were emerging organically from the landscape. The village feel that was so important in the original compound is supplemented by the new buildings—the school itself and a separate gymnasium—whose orientation toward big views of the Elk Mountains enhances the connection to the surroundings.”
