7th & Main Affordable Housing

7th & Main is a mixed use building consisting of eleven living units and a ‘corner store’ element woven into the main level of the complex. The highly visible corner site offered an opportunity for the architecture to identify the primary entrance to the city. Located on the edge of Aspen’s original homesite, an architecture conscious of addressing this gateway was informed by the historic precedent of Aspen’s beginning as a mining town.
