the influences of region and culture, CCY believes enduring
architecture enhances community, elevates life experiences, and
restores connection to the natural world. Based in a small town
near Aspen, Colorado, recognition of their work has earned more
than 140 regional, national, and international awards. Recent
commissions include a Four Seasons Hotel for the Winter 2022
Olympics in Beijing; Piers 29 and 31 on San Francisco's
Embarcadero; and a resort built around champion surfer Kelly
Slater's wave technology in the Coachella Valley.
