Historic Hallam Renovation

Mountain Modern with Traditional Victorian Exterior Form | Single-Family Residence

Aspen, Colorado | West End

A Timeless Victorian Reimagined for Modern Aspen Living

Located in Aspen’s prestigious West End neighborhood, the Historic Hallam Renovation is a masterful blend of historic preservation and contemporary innovation. This 3,000-square-foot transformation breathes new life into a cherished Victorian-era home, honoring its architectural legacy while redefining it for modern mountain living.

Preserving the Past, Enhancing the Future

Originally a classic brick Victorian, the home was strategically relocated forward to accommodate a new basement, maximizing its footprint without compromising historic integrity. A two-story rear addition, featuring a luxurious primary suite with an ensuite bath and a one-car garage, seamlessly integrates with the existing structure, respecting Aspen’s historic fabric while embracing contemporary aesthetics.

A Seamless Fusion of Traditional and Modern Materials

The historic façade retains its original brick exterior, maintaining the home’s Victorian character, while the addition introduces Swiss Pearl panels and Tramps Pura shiplap siding—a refined juxtaposition that bridges past and present. The roofline and fenestration thoughtfully evolve the home’s historic silhouette, ensuring that heritage and modernity coexist in harmony.

A Contemporary Interior with Mountain-Inspired Elegance

Inside, the once compartmentalized layout has been reimagined into an open, flowing plan, enhancing natural light, volume, and spatial connectivity. The interior design balances warm, organic materials—wood, stone, and metal—with crisp modern lines, creating a space that feels both inviting and refined.

Overcoming Challenges with Precision and Care

During construction, an unexpected 55-gallon drum of fuel was discovered on-site, requiring extensive environmental remediation. This challenge was met with expert precision, ensuring the project adhered to the highest standards of safety and sustainability, reinforcing Z Group’s commitment to responsible architecture.

Honoring Legacy, Elevating Lifestyle

More than a renovation, the Historic Hallam project is a testament to Aspen’s architectural heritage—meticulously crafted for modern living. By seamlessly integrating historic charm with contemporary luxury, Z Group Architecture & Interior Design has created a residence that respects the past while embracing the future, offering a timeless reflection of Aspen’s elevated mountain lifestyle.
