The key to unlocking the site, as well as approvals from a public process, is a site plan comprised of five distinct buildings. This strategy results in alleys throughout the site that create a permeable pedestrian-friendly site plan, establish a setback between new construction and historic buildings, and provide view corridors to the iconic peaks surrounding Telluride.

The architecture along the public right of way recalls the facades of Telluride’s past, but with a modern sensibility toward the detailing.

Along the alley is an eclectic mix of materials and scales to reflect the architectural spirit of Telluride’s local pathways. Internally to the site, the architecture becomes more modern and spare in detail, yet the mass, scale, and fenestration still speak to the town’s historic fabric.
