MOOD BOARD
CONCEPT
The Aspen Armory has long served as a cornerstone
of the community. Originally intended to practice and
show off routines and drills, but soon after becoming
a fraternity hall, the space has long been a place of
celebration, connection, and shared experiences. The
revitalized Armory will continue this tradition, offering
casual dining, games, and community gatherings in a
vibrant, welcoming, and family friendly environment.
Designed to honor its historic character while introducing
a fresh and lively atmosphere, the space will be a
dynamic and inviting setting that resonates with all who
visit, reinforcing the Armory’s role as an essential part of
Aspen’s community life.
Aspen is a collection of locals and visitors from around
the globe, each bringing unique backgrounds and
perspectives. Despite their varied differences, they
are united in shared values, common passions, and
a profound respect for the character and spirit of
the Roaring Fork Valley, fostering a strong sense of
community and connection. The design of the armory
will reflect the eclectic nature that is Aspen. This idea
celebrates contrast and cohesion, bringing together
seemingly disparate elements in a way that feels unified
and thoughtfully curated.

CHARACTER & PALETTE
INTERIOR CHARACTER | MATERIALS PALETTE
The proposed material palette draws inspiration from the
building’s historic roots while embracing a contemporary
sensibility, resulting in a balanced and timeless aesthetic.
Grounded in a spectrum of earthy tones, warm ochres,
rich browns, and muted greens, the palette evokes a
sense of familiarity with nature, representing a major
characteristic of Aspen and surrounding areas.
Texture plays a central role, with materials selected
not only for their visual appeal but also for their tactile
richness. Weathered woods, honed stone and aged
metals contribute to a layered, sensory experience that
invites interaction.
Subtle nods to the building’s heritage are woven
throughout with reclaimed elements, traditional joinery,
and finishes with a gently worn patina. At the same time,
clean lines, thoughtful proportions, and contemporary
detailing ensure the overall design feels fresh, relevant,
and forward-looking.
