Finely honed offices used as a sales tool for business

This high-end residential construction company near Aspen, Colorado, sought to provide a quality workplace that reflects its stature as one of the finest construction firms in the area. As a result of the client's industry, an unusually close collaboration among design team members occurred. With client Hansen included at the design table, providing fabrication expertise and instant samples, mock-ups, and cost evaluation, many of the encumbrances to innovation were removed and the team was able to concentrate on fresh solutions. Because the space being created was for the business of construction, every aspect of the project was subjected to an unusual level of professional scrutiny from both the design team and the client. Functionally, the new space accommodates the frequent arrival of subcontractors and the inquisitive visits of clients, successfully balancing openness and privacy.
