The Rocky Region’s best and boldest example of Western – Mountain – Asian fusion. A one-of-a-kind 6000 square foot home with a totally authentic 800 square foot Japanese Tea House surrounded by gardens and a hot springs spa.
This home was another unique collaboration between owner (an engineer with decades of construction experience) and Trilogy Partners. Trilogy was entrusted as Design Build Project Manager and retained bhh Partners for basic architectural design.
Perched in a sublime setting at the base of Three Peaks along The Raven golf course at 9000 feet in elevation, this mountain getaway was created for Denver-based clients who love the mountain lifestyle.
This modern marvel has some of the best views in all of Summit County of the 10 Mile and Gore Ranges. A multiple grand award winner at the 2016 Parade of Homes, bhh Partners served up the principal architecture.
This castle is truly a tribute to energy conservation. Modeled to be Breckenridge’s (and the nation’s) first luxury Net Zero Energy slope side home, at 9000 square feet, the owner refused to compromise on either aesthetics or energy conservation.
It’s not surprising that today marks the first day of winter. It is after all a cold, snowy day here in Breckenridge, Colorado with a low tonight of -6 degrees. In honor of the first day of winter, we complied a list of ways to help you stay warm this winter season. From radiant flooring to ventless fires, see how you can beat that winter chill!
We love Planika’s remote-controlled, smoke-free, eco-friendly, ventless fires. Since there is no need for any kind of ventilation, this “fireplace” can be installed anywhere. In an existing hearth or even in the middle of your coffee table.

Radiant floors will help keep your toes nice and toasty this time of year. It can even be used with hardwood floors, but be careful of which type you choose, it could possibly expand from the heat.

Tired of stepping out of a hot shower and wrapping yourself in a cold towel. Towel warmers in the bathroom will help solve this problem.

Many of you have probably heard that beginning on January 1, 2012, a new law will go into effect “phasing out standard 100-watt incandescent bulbs”. This law was enacted to encourage the use of more energy-efficient lighting and other countries like Switzerland and Australia have already started their planned phase-outs. Some have criticized this new law stating that it puts a imposed cost increase on light bulbs for those who might not be able to afford them, but the new and improved energy-efficient light bulbs will save you the cost of replacing the bulbs earlier.
We’d love to hear what you think about the new law?

A “green remodel” can mean so many different things; there is no one-size-fits-all approach, and every remodel is ultimately as unique as the homeowner who envisioned it. So, what type of green remodeler are you? You might not fit precisely into a single category, and the point isn’t to peg anyone or apply labels, but rather to provide advice and resources specific to your approach.
1. Energy Efficiency Warrior
You’re tired of those high energy bills. Sometimes you might annoy family members by following them around the house and turning off the lights they leave on. So when it’s time to make some upgrades around the house, you will be focusing on ways to make your home operate more efficiently. Consider these projects:
Your own is a reflection of your personal tastes, and you want it to look good! Therefore, you focus your efforts on making aesthetic improvements, but you also want to make sure you choose materials that are eco-friendly and contribute to healthy indoor environment, too. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Are you the type of person who eats one item at a time on your plate and doesn’t like anything to touch or mix together? Either way, your remodeling efforts are focused on one specific space, and you need advice that is unique to that particular room:
Who doesn’t want to save money? Just because you don’t have a lot to spend on your home right now, that doesn’t mean you can’t make a few green improvements. Here are a few ways to save:
