Thank You Charfoos Design

Posted on July 31, 2012 by CCA

We wanted to thank one of our clients, Lynda Charfoos of Charfoos Design for spreading the good news about our Gold Nugget Awards. Lynda writes in her Charfoos Design Notes that “Charfoos Design and Charles Cuniffe Architects have won two 2012 Gold Nugget Awards for this Aspen Family Retreat. Gold Nugget winners exemplify excellence and innovation in addressing complex design/build issues.”

We were also awarded four Detroit Home Awards for our collaboration on the Aspen Retreat.

Here is what Geoffrey Lester, Senior Project Architect, Charles Cunniffe Architects, had to say about working with Lynda on this project. “Lynda inspired great teamwork working collaboratively with Architect and Builder to fulfill her Client’s vision with the Aspen house renovation and addition. It was a pleasure to work directly with Lynda capitalizing on her professionalism and keen design sense. The end result of our alliance far exceeded our initial project expectation.”

Thanks Lynda!

CCA Welcomes Ryan Hoffner, Back on the Team!

Posted on July 20, 2012 by CCA

We are so pleased to announce that Ryan Hoffner has rejoined the CCA team! With a strong history of architectural excellence, we are so lucky to have him back. A little bit about Ryan…

Ryan moved to the Roaring Fork Valley as a teenager over 25 years ago. With a strong desire to study architecture while skiing as much as possible, Ryan moved to Bozeman, Montana to pursue his architectural degree. He received his Bachelor of Architecture in 1996 from Montana State University and returned to Aspen to begin his career at Charles Cunniffe Architects. He received a retroactive Masters of Architecture degree in 2008. Throughout his career in the Valley, Ryan has successfully completed numerous high-end residential projects, several affordable housing, commercial and civic projects.

Ryan enjoys taking a project from concept to completion and watching how people experience and react to the built environment. He finds design inspiration in his travels; both domestically and throughout Europe, the Caribbean, Scandinavia, North Africa, and the South Pacific where he enjoys immersing himself in the architecture and cultural diversity.

With a keen interest in environmentally conscious design and building, Ryan has attended numerous green building seminars and is passionate about employing sustainable practices in his work.

Ryan has over 16 years of professional experience in the Roaring Fork Valley. As a 25-year resident of Aspen, he is extremely knowledgeable in the challenges and rewards of building in the Roaring Fork Valley. He has designed and worked on several AIA award-winning projects and is known for his wide range of architectural abilities and his dedication to each project.

Ryan is married and has two children and lives in Snowmass Village. He is a licensed Architect in the State of Colorado and is NCARB certified. If you haven’t met Ryan, please stop by and say hello!

London’s Velodrome

Posted on July 18, 2012 by CCA

In 8 days all eyes will be on London as it takes center stage for the Games of the XXX Olympiad. One of the five permanent venues on Olympic Park for the London 2012 Olympic Games is the Velodrome, designed London firm Hopkins Architects.

According to Dezeen, “The Velodrome has been designed with the aim of creating the world’s fastest cycling track by tailoring the track geometry and setting the temperature and environmental conditions within the venue to create record-breaking conditions.” Sounds pretty high-tech.

The Velodrome met and in some instances exceeded the “number of sustainability and material targets” put forth by the Olympic Delivery Authority.

CCA Featured In Luxury Home Quarterly

Posted on July 6, 2012 by CCA

Luxury Home Quarterly, a leading publication that features inspiring destinations and vacation homes, recently highlighted Charles Cunniffe Architects in their summer issue.

In the article our very own Charles Cunniffe is asked about how Aspen’s natural landscape influences his design.

“It’s still at the heart of what we do,” he says. “We want our work to be of today with a respect for the past. We want our work to be influenced by the buildings and the surrounding landscape.”
