The popular Aspen Square hotel located just blocks from the gondola in downtown Aspen received a sophisticated and energetic architectural landscape update in 2008. The new lighting for the project needed to blend both the desirable low lighting levels typical of an intimate resort setting while meeting the safety of the public as it is accessible from both sides to the town of Aspen.

The dynamic new gathering areas created by the landscape architects included new water features as well as fire pits and an updated jacuzzi. Lighting solutions were designed for long life and included integrating energy efficient LED sources into the water features, railings and pavers. These effects were supplemented by low level halogen lighting delivered in low glare halogen path lighting fixtures as well as fiber optics. The unique fiber optic display with cone shaped yellow lanterns adorns the feature tree of the courtyard. It’s lights dance above the fire pit and present the idea of festivities all year long without looking seasonal.
