11.3 Construct a new building to appear similar in scale and proportion with the historic buildings on a parcel.
• Subdivide larger masses into smaller “modules” that are similar in size to the historic buildings on the original site.
• Refl ect the heights and proportions that characterize the historic resource.
11.4 Design a front elevation to be similar in scale to the historic building.
• The primary plane of the front shall not appear taller than the historic structure.

11.6 Design a new structure to be recognized as a product of its time.
• Consider these three aspects of a new building; form, materials, and fenestration. A project must relate strongly to the historic
resource in at least two of these elements. Departing from the historic resource in one of these categories allows for creativity
and a contemporary design response.
• When choosing to relate to building form, use forms that are similar to the historic resource.
• When choosing to relate to materials, use materials that appear similar in scale and fi nish to those used historically on the
site and use building materials that contribute to a traditional sense of human scale
• When choosing to relate to fenestration, use windows and doors that are similar in size and shape to those of the historic
resource.
MASS + SCALE

11.7 The imitation of older historic styles is discouraged.
• This blurs the distinction between old and new buildings.
• Overall, details shall be modest in character.
MASS + SCALE

7.6 A new dormer should remain subordinate to the historic roof in scale and character.
• A new dormer is not appropriate on a primary, character defi ning façade.
• A new dormer should fi t within the existing wall plane. It should be lower than the ridgeline and set in from the eave. It should also be
in proportion with the building.
• The mass and scale of a dormer addition must be subordinate to the scale of the historic building.
• While dormers improve the livability of upper fl oor spaces where low plate heights exist, they also complicate the roof and may not be
appropriate on very simple structures.
• Dormers are not generally not permitted on AspenModern properties since they are not characteristics of these building
styles.
LANDMARK
1020 East Cooper Project
SITE PLAN
1.1 All projects shall respect the historic development pattern or context of the block, neighborhood or district.
• Building footprint and location should reinforce the traditional patterns of the neighborhood.
• Allow for some porosity on a site. In a residential project, setback to setback development is typically uncharacteristic of the historic
context. Do not design a project which leaves no useful open space visible from the street.

CONCLUSION
“We believe that a strong and diverse year-round community and a viable and healthy local workforce are
fundamental cornerstones for the sustainability of the Aspen Area community.” -2012 AACP
“Not every guideline will apply to each project, and some balancing of the guidelines must occur on a case-
by-case basis...It must be emphasized that these are only guidelines…and need to be weighed with the
practicality of the measure.” - Introduction, Aspen Historic Preservation Design Guidelines
“The creation of aff ordable housing is the responsibility of our entire community, not just government.” -
2012 AACP
