rowland + broughton: Villager 8

Villager 8
Aspen, Colorado
Size: 1,600 square feet
Completion Date: August 2008

Having completed four full interior renovations for homeowners at Villager Townhomes plus an exterior renovation for the entire property, the founders of Rowland+Broughton Architecture and Urban Design had become intimately familiar with the building. When the opportunity arose to acquire one of the units the duo jumped at the opportunity. The complete renovation of their space gave them the chance to test out new sustainable concepts and materials. Walls are insulated with recycled denim and FSC certified lumber is used for framing. Wood floors and millwork throughout is created with FSC certified wood and non-formaldehyde glue. New energy efficient mechanical equipment, lighting, and energy star appliances replace outdated ones. Sustainable interior finishes sweep through the space in a consistent spa-inspired palette that brings serenity to every day life.

Sustainable components of the project include:

•	Remodel and reuse of an existing 1960’s condo

•	All rift sawn white oak used for millwork, floors & doors is FSC certified

•	All precast concrete is made with recycled content & is fabricated locally within Colorado

•	Lamin-Art laminate in mudroom contains recycled material

•	Dual flush toilets used throughout

•	Insulation in all walls made from recycled blue jeans

•	Tile in bathrooms contains post consumer recycled content

•	Energy efficient lighting, the majority of the home uses fluorescent and LED

•	Designed to allow natural light to flow through the spaces reducing the dependency on artificial lighting

•	Urban location - walk to everything!
