GARDENS
Highlands Retreat
H
Highlands Retreat is set at an elevation of 8,000 feet , just a few miles from the mountain town of Aspen , Colorado . Settled within a narrow , glacially formed valley , this 10-acre property is characterized by towering aspens and mountainous terrain .
Chancing upon the property during a summer visit , the owners made it their goal to build a home with an aesthetic that would blur the boundaries between the built and existing landscape and appeal to multiple generations of their family for years to come .
Design Workshop , Inc . principal Mike Albert says , “ With a focus on preserving the site ’ s natural features , our teams worked in tandem to create a design that would leave a light imprint on the land and remain fully invested in the future of the environment .”
