The Monograph—
a conversation on design

Connection

An insightful conversation that investigates, explores and reflects upon the connection between people and place. By way of ten recently completed residential projects located throughout the Rocky Mountain West, CCY Architects shares its process and the specific ideas, discoveries and challenges that emerge with each project. From an internal, experiential perspective to integration within particular surroundings, the pages illustrate five decades of collective understanding and continued curiosity.

”The projects in this monograph showcase CCY’s polyvalent approach to design. Each architectural solution layers function, form, and varying facets of the building’s location into tacit experiences. Their meticulous detailing shows the care taken in articulating the poetry of form; the craftsmanship of CCY projects speaks to the valuable relationships they have built with contractors who help bring the buildings to life.”
