Aspen Snowmass Base Village

15 years ago, a plan was put in place to elevate the Aspen Snowmass Base Village to a world-class resort area. BCER’s engineers were hired in 2013 to take ownership of that vision to make it a reality. The Base Village sits atop an existing three-story parking garage at the base of the ski area, and includes three new buildings and a new plaza:

Limelight Hotel
(mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, technology, lighting, sustainable design)

  • 100,000 sf hotel
  • Commercial kitchen and restaurant
  • Office space
  • Year-round heated pool and spa
  • Conference space
  • Fitness center with climbing wall
  • Built atop 3-story parking garage

Lumin
(mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, technology, lighting, sustainable design)

  • 20,000 sf mixed-use facility with retail at ground-level and high-end condominiums on top floor
  • LEED Gold Certified
  • Built atop 3-story parking garage

Building 6
(mechanical, electrical, plumbing, technology, lighting sustainable design)

  • 15,000 sf, 2-story tenant commercial retail building
  • Food and beverage shell space
  • Built atop 3-story parking garage

Plaza
(mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, lighting)

  • Ice rink in winter
  • Pop jet fountains in summer
  • Landscape lighting
  • A/V for summer concerts
  • Distributed power for farmers markets

The design team made specific accommodations to adhere to small town lighting ordinances and Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning. The climate and elevation of the development required particular attention to make sure the mechanical systems were working efficiently.

BCER took a holistic approach to designing the Base Village, paying attention to how the buildings and plaza interacted with each other. It was this ownership of the project goal that elevated the design and delivery to make this project the world-class ski village that it was intended to be.
