Studio B Architects is my longest running professional relationship in Aspen (or anywhere for that matter!), and after sixteen years of of knowing Scott Lindenau both professionally and personally, I am always excited to see where the vision of “The Hive” has continued to evolve towards since my architectural years spent with the firm full time from 1999-2003. This year’s effort was to strip everything down and stylistically return a little towards the roots of the office’s beginnings, and the black and white approaches taken just seemed to make all the sense in executing this concept. Scott, Gilbert, & Mike: thank you for your continued faith & trust – I look forward to a very, very busy next couple of years with each of you!
