We were just visiting Aspen so will not be able to work with her directly, but we discussed our general concept and she gave us some terrific ideas for how to proceed with our residential project.

The powder room in this 5000 sft house is so tiny you have to stand up against the wall and the sink to close the door. My couch is larger than the bathroom guests would use. No exaggeration. Lots of other weird features. Kitchen opens into living space and dining room is behind the wall and around the corner. Don't forget the salt and pepper or your meal will be ice cold. I love modern architecture and there was something so pretentious and just off about this house. I've owned 4 houses in boulder over 30+ years so I make pretty good guesses to price.
