WHO WE ARE / WHAT WE OFFER
Our work is characterized by customization and craftsmanship—where every detail is chosen for the way you live.
Our approach to design is holistic, intentional, and deeply personal. With Alison Agley and Carrera Shea at the helm, our team creates homes that marry enduring style and thoughtful functionality. We design with the perspective—and skills—of designers and architects, resulting in spaces that embody the belief that livability is the highest luxury. From our studio in Snowmass Village, we work closely with clients and our trusted network of contractors, consultants, and vendors on each project. We channel our intimate knowledge of our area to offer clients an efficient process and the best in local resources. The spaces we create are reflective of our clients' personal styles and and the relaxed yet refined lifestyle that Aspen is known for.
