Ikigai

Interiors: Layers of Warmth and Depth

Inside, Ikigai reflects the same clarity and focus that defines its architecture. The interiors, curated by Andrea Glinn of Glinn Interiors, balance modern simplicity with emotional richness through a palette of natural, tactile materials.

Interior Highlights

• Flamed and tumbled stone, wire-brushed and hand-chiseled wood, and patinaed steel form the core material vocabulary.

• Woven wool textiles and silk lighting accents soften the home’s crisp geometry.

• Custom furnishings by artisans, including Matt Castilleja and Yucca Stuff, combining craftsmanship and restraint.

• Cleft-stone hearth and live-edge wood table bringing the natural world indoors.

• Bespoke art collection emphasizing narrative, texture, and diverse artistic voices.

A Home for Gathering and Reflection

Programmatically, Ikigai was designed for connection across generations. The residence sleeps sixteen, featuring a primary suite, junior suite, two king guest rooms, and a bunk room with four queen beds. The lower-level family room invites togetherness with a generous sectional, a built-in media wall, and a playful nook beneath the stairs.

Outside, the front porch encourages daily interaction with Aspen’s lively streetscape, while the backyard firepit and upper-deck spa create quiet moments of retreat under the stars.

A Collaboration of Vision and Craft

The success of Ikigai lies in its collaboration. Under the leadership of Z Group Architecture & Interior Design, in collaboration with Glinn Interiors and Type Five Builders, every technical and aesthetic decision was guided by a shared purpose. Tight site conditions, complex permitting, and structural challenges required innovative coordination, resulting in a home that feels effortless—yet reveals mastery in every detail.

“Ikigai reminds us that true luxury is found not in excess, but in the quiet joy of intention realized.” — Seth Hmielowski, Senior Principal
