Our partnership with Colorado Building Company (CBC) has been a successful relationship that has led to many award-winning homes.  Colorado Building Company is more than just a construction management company; they are experts at sustainable building technologies such as geothermal, SIP panels, solar system integration and more. Take a look at some of the projects we have designed with Colorado Building Company.

The November issue of Architectural Digest marks the last issue under the leadership of Paige Rense Noland, who was editor in chief of the magazine since 1971. The issue features Rob Lowe and his 20-room Georgian-style estate outside of Santa Barbara on the cover. Rob shares the home with his wife Sheryl and their two sons. The home was inspired by Mt. Vernon and other historic homes in Lowe’s native Virginia-area.

Architect Don Nulty says the home is “almost contemporary” in styling and interior designer, David Phoenix, adds “It’s a large house, but the scale fits the property. It’s very peaceful, very relaxing.”

What do you think about this impressive home?

Today we wanted to focus our Team Trilogy series on founding partner, John Rath. John, along with his brother and sister, started Trilogy in 1998. John journeyed to Breckenridge, Colorado after leaving his life producing movies in New York City behind. His love for the Colorado Rocky Mountain Region began in 1983 with his first trip out west. John along with the rest of our Trilogy Team has achieved much success thanks in part to our collaboration with our clients, designers, vendors and sub-contractors. Together we have built homes and communities in which we can be proud of.

We are very proud of the home we built for South Park co-creator, Trey Parker last year. We talked a little about this hilltop home when we mentioned the coverage it received in Architectural Digest, which was a dream come true. Heavily influenced by Japanese culture this beautiful home comes complete with a 700 square-foot teahouse guest cabin.

A bevy of new photos were recently added to our gallery page, but we wanted to share some of the photos with you below. We are going to be focusing this post on the exterior of the home, which is a unique fusion of western American and Japanese ryokan-style architecture.

Take a look at some of the photos below.

Another great feature about the outdoor living space is the use of heated stone pavers so the outdoor spa can be used year-round, even in the cold and snowy Colorado winter.

Trey Parker told Architectural Digest that he loves bringing his friends from Los Angeles to his Steamboat Springs home. “Being able to share it with people who may have never been to Colorado before is great. I love to walk with them around the rocks and the aspens, to step outside and see a deer or a porcupine.”

We were excited to hear that Metropolis magazine has partnered with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) for the Next Generation 2011 Design Ideas Competition. GSA hopes to achieve Zero Environmental Impact for its 9,600 properties and wanted to challenge the design community to help transform their downtown building in Los Angeles.

GSA’s Chief Architect Les Shepherd, says, “Metropolis’s Next Generation Design Competition is important because it brings visionary design to real problems. The results: highly innovative solutions to the issues of our day. That’s the kind of thinking we need. We’re not merely seeking to bring our buildings in line with current best practices, we’re looking for breakthrough thinking, and we expect to see it demonstrated in this year’s competition.”

Susan S. Szenasy, Metropolis’s editor in chief notes that, “We’re all eager to see how the skills and creativity of this environmentally concerned, community-oriented, and technically savvy generation of designers can make a positive impact on our built environment.”

At Trilogy Partners we know a thing or two about building a Zero Net Energy Home and the positive impact it makes on a community. Click here to learn more about our Zero Net Energy Home in Breckenridge.

We’ve said it before, but at Trilogy Partners we see design and build as inseparable. We guide our clients through each important process, from concept, through construction and into completion. For over 12 years we have been creating exceptional custom built homes throughout the Colorado mountain region.

One of the reasons why we have been so successful is because we still maintain the same “client service” approach that has allowed us to develop strong relationships with our clients. Take a look at some of our work below.

We love the photos coming out of the 2010 Showtime House benefiting Harlem Children’s Zone.

The New York Times recently published an article titled “Optimism Breeds Opportunity.” The title was a little misleading, the only opportunity they talked about in great detail were the buildings being erected on other side of the world. Although they briefly mentioned Frank Gehry’s New World Symphony building opening next month in Miami, the majority of the focus was on the Middle East and China. According to Nicolai Ouroussoff at the NYT, “architecture, generally speaking, is in a slump worldwide, and no one knows for certain how or when it will emerge from its doldrums. When it does, it is not likely to be in the United States, but in China, South America or the Middle East.”

What do you think about the above statement?

New York architect Thomas Phifer had quite a project on his hands when he rebuilt Bunty and Tom Armstrong’s house on Fisher Island. Their 1926 clapboard home was destroyed in a fire and the Armstrongs wanted to rebuild something different in its place. The home’s landscaping, which had beautifully matured with apple trees and serpentine paths, had survived and he hoped to incorporate some of the garden into their home.

“I got it into my head,” he continues, “that I wanted to live in the garden with my art. I wanted a steel-and-glass house so I could witness the landscape as I viewed the art. I replaced the natural history prints lost in the fire with a collection of midcentury abstract art. I had wanted to be an artist and have enormous admiration for people who succeeded and pursued their talent.”

Architectural Digest is featuring the Armstrongs’ new home in their October issue, but we wanted to share with you some of the photos of this Fisher Island home.
