Luxe Magazine Feature: Elevated Living

A modern two-story house with large windows is illuminated at dusk, surrounded by trees and mountains under a dramatic, colorful sky with clouds tinged in pink and purple.

The following was featured in the Jan/Feb edition of Luxe Interiors and Design: 

In a place as storied and magnetic as the mountains, inspiration is in no short supply. Take one look at the stunning homes created by Collective Design, and the influence of this awe-striking landscape is clear. “We seek to match the grandeur of these monoliths while striving to continue exploring our craft,” says Principal Architect Zane Levin. “Our style has embodied a mountain modern aesthetic, although we are incorporating other contemporary styles that harmonize with the surroundings and the various elements of human history in this place.” With these stylistic leanings in tow, the Collective team designs gorgeous homes—inside and out. “On the interior, our clients are no longer seeking the visual comfort and traditional wood features that used to dominate the mountain feel,” says Adrienne Rynes, President of Interior Design. “They want modern spaces that won’t feel dated in a decade.”

Après Accents 

Rynes shares a few of the features Collective Design favors for that après ski lifestyle. 

  • In mudrooms, we use high-end ski lockers and boot dryers to make the transition easy.
  • A day on the slopes is often best paired with a beautiful hot tub, sauna and spa.
  • Once the boots are off and toes are warm, après has always been about socializing. Our communal spaces bring people together. 

 At its heart, mountain living is about balance—between grandeur and intimacy, tradition and innovation, nature and comfort. Collective Design’s work seeks to capture that balance, creating homes that honor the landscape while elevating the everyday experience.
