We believe enduring architecture enhances community, elevates life experiences and restores our connection to the natural world.
Architecture designed for life on the mountain.
Set along the slopes of Aspen Highlands in Aspen, Colorado, Wedge House was designed by Architects to engage the mountain directly. The home’s siting and form are shaped around ski-in/ski-out access and expansive views across the alpine valley, allowing residents to step onto the slopes in the morning and return home just as easily at day’s end.
Clad in Douglas fir with steel and glass accents, the wedge-shaped form opens toward the mountains, framing forests and ridgelines through expansive windows while creating sheltered spaces for gathering after a day outside.

Congratulations to The Little Nell!
As Aspen’s only ski-in/ski-out hotel at the base of Aspen Mountain, it holds a rare position — both physically and culturally. It meets the mountain, the street, and the rhythm of town life all at once.
CCY Architects is proud to have been part of shaping a place that is more than a hotel. Retail and hospitality spaces are organized along the perimeter, reinforcing the vitality of the pedestrian experience and strengthening the connection between the city center and the slopes.
Over time, The Little Nell has become something larger than its footprint. It is a gathering place. A threshold. The front porch of Aspen.
The Little Nell marks 30 years as Aspen’s only Forbes Five-Star hotel, continuing its legacy of luxury and connection to the town’s history. LINK IN COMMENTS👇

CCY is a proud supporter of and excited to help bring their new Town Center home to life. Through the adaptive reuse of a former restaurant, this 7,700-square-foot arts center reclaims a long-vacant space as a dynamic community hub for creativity and culture.
Join us in Big Sky on Thursday, February 19, to celebrate ARTi Gras—the Arts Council’s beloved annual fundraiser—hosted for the first time in their new home!

Aspen X Games is back at Buttermilk this weekend—25 straight years of elite athletes and high-intensity snow sports on a global stage!
At CCY, mountain life isn’t a backdrop; it’s daily practice. From dawn ski laps to after-work rides in the Roaring Fork Valley, that lived experience shaped our work at Buttermilk Base with Aspen Snowmass
In collaboration with DESIGN WORKSHOP, the overall project's masterplan included three buildings that were designed to create a campus and to support and enhance the guest experience from arrival to departure.
Each building opens to light, views, and the natural flow of the mountain, supporting everything from first-time skiers to world-class events. A high-performance approach drives energy-efficient operations across the campus, setting the foundation for future net-zero use.
