We’re officially breaking ground!! Follow us in this video as we go out to site and introduce the guy helping bring it all to life, Max!
Max is a Leadville local, forward-thinking, and exactly the kind of builder we wanted for a project like this. His company KIP Construction works all over the Rockies at high altitudes and does incredible work. Check out their page @kipconstruction !
In this video, we dive into the details:
how long this project will actually take, the design changes we had to make along the way (we'll expand on this more in another video soon!), and why choosing the right contractor matters more than anything.
Max has been a huge part of making this all possible, and we could not be luckier to have him on our side for our first solo project!
Follow us here on instagram and tiktok to see how it all comes together. Comment questions you have and videos you want us to make!
We have lots more updates coming soon, stay tuned!!

Our home in Twin Lakes is a super low-energy home designed to fit lightly onto the sloping hillside and open to expansive views across the upper Arkansas valley. Rusted corrugated metal siding and a long, horizontal form align with the topography while large triple-pane windows and generous overhangs optimize natural light and shading. The folded roofs mimic the mountain forms found in every direction around the home.

Our Mt Elbert Cabin is modeled after a traditional hytte which is a Norwegian term for a small cabin or recreational cottage. It is deeply rooted in Scandinavian culture as a rustic retreat for disconnecting and enjoying nature. Often located in mountains, woods, or by the sea, they are used for hiking, skiing, and relaxation. This getaway was designed with specific outdoor rooms and is intentionally low maintenance and resilient for it's rugged location.
