A client of ours, Ali Margo (aka Aspen Princess), resides in an A-Frame up the Frying Pan River. We are embarking on a design for her remodel. Her love for this form is apparent in her recent column in the Aspen Times. We are excited to explore this project with her and her family.

Here is her October 10, 2018 column about the project:

THE OCULUS - An Eco Conscious Mountain Biker's Dream Hut

We built this ridable, grassroots, off-grid clubhouse, just because we thought it needed to be done. In the process, we got to know the folks at Habitat for Humanity. They generously donated materials to the build. When the Oculus was done, they said, "You know our ReStore operation really well, do you want to design us a new ReStore?"
Of course, we couldn't refuse!

The new Green Line designed ReStore building is getting rave reviews!
