Aspen-based architectural firm Studio B Architects has sent us some photos of the Nove 1 project. Located in Aspen, Colorado, these two twin 3,500 square foot homes won the 2006 rocky mountain news architect choice award. The residences are within easy walking distance of Aspen’s numerous cultural institutions and are inter-related in their posture and appearance. Because of their close proximity, the window patterns were carefully composed insuring privacy from both levels and terraces. The exterior material palate is simple yet elegant and is comprised of Italian marble slabs, mahogany siding with reveal details adding a depth to the skin and aluminum-clad doors and windows. A large double height space unites the interior of each house, serves as a gathering space, fills it with light, and contains ample wall space for art. The bold interior surfaces are contrasted by the warmth of the wood floors, casework and furniture.
