DRIVER’S NOTEBOOK (CONTINUED)

THE HYBRID BOOM HAS FILLED THE QUAINT STREETS OF BOULDER WITH ELECTRIC CARS ZIPPING NOISELESSLY FROM A-BASIN TO PEARL STREET. Current electric options, however, are limiting in size, terrain, and range. Their charge weakens in cold weather, seat capacity is cramped, and good luck gassing up Vail Pass with enough mileage to spare. These roadblocks make it difficult for electric to keep up with an adventurous and busy 303 family.

Until now.

Swedish luxury carmaker Volvo refreshed its XC90 SUV to make the seven-seater safety dream machine a rechargeable plug-in hybrid.

This semi-electric beauty-on-wheels quickly won Hybrid SevenSeater of the Year and was named the Large SUV of the Year in the News UK Motor Awards. … semi-electric you say?

The Volvo XC90 Recharge has both electric charging power and a traditional engine. With 18 miles of pure electric range, this plug-in Volvo kicks on its combustion engine once you reach speeds that burn up electric power. Then, entering slower zones the cylinders cut off, and the Volvo cruises in electric, saving you fuel and the noisy rumble.

The dual nature of the Volvo XC90 raises fuel economy since neither engine or electric alone do all the heavy lifting.

It’s the best of both worlds. Electric energy-saving with a cabin size to fit the whole family (while storing skis, skateboards, groceries, and pups), and engine pick-up power to stave off charging anxiety on long trips or cold weather.

“More than anything, it has more space than most electric hybrid options out there,” says PT Ertl of Sill-TerHar Motors, a local dealership specializing in Volvo, Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, and Maserati. “It’s really great for the mountains because you have enough room, plus Volvo’s safety and all-wheel drive system are amazing.”

Still-TerHar gets it. Because they get Boulderites. As a locally owned dealership, car experts like Ertl have a commitment to the community.

They walk through the streets, share the roads and chairlifts with us.

Which is one reason they are electrified by the Volvo XC90 Recharge.

“We’re getting a lot of requests on hybrid and electric cars, but a lot of people don’t know Volvo has a robust offering,” Ertl says. “It’s quite a different feel from Tesla. More peaceful, nature-centric, with all the feel and mentality of Scandinavian style.”

COOL VOLVO XC90 RECHARGE STATS: + Charges in 2.5 hours + Hits 60 mph in 5 seconds flat + Electronic safety tech detects cars, pedestrians, animals, and cyclists + Massage seats + Special key to limit top-speed for teenage drivers + Map tech reads street signs and displays speed limit + Comparable to a luxury Mercedes

CHASING THAT WILD

PHOTOGRAPHER MAX SEIGAL IS ANYTHING BUT TAME ARTICLE LIVIA HOOSON | PHOTOGRAPHY POPPY + CO. BY KELSEY HUFFER

32

Cherry Creek Lifestyle | March 2021

“I LOVE THE FACT THAT NATURE IS MY CANVAS,” SHARES PHOTOGRAPHER MAX SEIGAL. There is an intimacy evoked in Seigal’s photography that takes the viewer from an onlooker to an active participant as his still imagery comes more alive the longer you linger. His nature and wildlife photography reveals vivid landscapes from the South African outback to ethereal starlit skies in the desert.

You have probably seen his work up close and personal at the St. Julien, Brewing Market or the Laughing Goat. And most recently, his work is debuting at Denver’s boutique Hotel Teatro in downtown where you can read about each featured photograph in the Lower Level Foyer and enjoy a drink at the bar.

As a local Boulderite, he is the quintessential Colorado outdoorsman who enjoys everything from paragliding to rock-climbing. And as an award-winning photographer who has taken first place in multiple photo competitions held by National Geographic, Nature’s Best Photography, and others, Seigal has proven that he can balance both nature exploration and art. His personal and professional travels have taken him across Asia, Africa, the Arctic, and the Antarctic as a researcher with some time spent as an expert naturalist and photographer for the travel company Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic. This is where he gained his foothold in the industry to develop his gift for capturing his lived experiences out in the wild.

“As a nature-lover and a biologist, it’s hard to beat Safari trips in South Africa— those are the most mind-blowing places to visit. It almost brings you to a primal place before humans existed,” expresses Seigal.

His time spent journeying across the Western U.S. on a motorcycle meant camping out every night where he spent days on the same location to wait for the perfect conditions to capture his now famed photos.

“Besides your camera, patience is the only thing you really need,” he says.

What has set him apart is his non-prescriptive approach to shooting some of the most famous locales, including being one of the early pioneers of night time photography. Whether it’s aerial or underwater photography, Seigal explores the world while taking a minimal impact approach to the wild and isolated places he visits. And his favorite subjects to shoot? The unexpecting faces of nature, from rhinos to elephants to polar bears.

“You can take candid photos of animals all day long,” says Seigel. “So for me, I love capturing the moment as it is. I don’t like manufacturing a moment that isn’t a true depiction of what is real.”

While we remain sequestered at home, Seigal’s art seems to be one of the safest ways to see the world, through his detailed captures that reveal the incomparable beauty of nature.

“Any art form has a powerful impact on us. Photography has its own world within that because it depicts real-life places that exist—places that we have traveled, have a personal connection with, and can relate to,” he shares.

In a time where pocket cameras are a mainstay, and we are exposed to thousands of images a day, Siegel stands out as one of his generation’s most innovative creators in the game.

OPEN HOUSE (CONTINUED)

PERCHED ON A PRIVATE PENINSULA WITH SUBLIME SKI SLOPE AND TOWN VIEWS, IT’S DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE A MORE IDYLLIC MOUNTAIN SETTING THAN THIS BRECKENRIDGE PROPERTY. Situated in Shock Hill—one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Breckenridge—it’s a home that makes the case for the lasting, timeless appeal of traditional log cabin homes.

“I would call this a quintessential Colorado custom log home,” says Bo Palazola, real estate agent with the Day Palazola Group, part of Liv Sotheby’s International Realty. “It’s a very special lot and structure and is a true mountain legacy property.”

The home’s curb appeal is amplified by its luxurious interior and inimitable outdoor living opportunities. Giant character logs usher guests in at the entrance, serving as preludes to the bold mountain personality that permeates throughout. These unaltered, individually unique log staples continue within and are paired with exposed wood vaulted ceilings in the open living, dining and kitchen area, making for a bright, voluminous main level. Expansive windows allow for the glorious mountain views to spill in unencumbered, while the sprawling outdoor deck and patio spaces make for effortless indoor/outdoor living.

The grandeur and luxury the home exudes balance perfectly with its cozy approachability. Whether it’s curling up in front of the impressive stone fireplace, partaking in lively conversation at the pristine kitchen bar or enjoying an intimate meal from the dedicated dining room with its glamorous antler chandelier, it’s a space primed to facilitate connections both with the natural world outside and the family and friends within.

“Building lasting memories is what this home was made for,” Palazola says. “It’s an ideal gathering place for families and for holidays.”

In addition to the unmatched proximity to all that Breckenridge has to offer—including private gondola and Nordic ski trail access—the home likewise includes numerous spaces in which to relax and unwind after a day enjoying the surrounding mountain bliss. The downstairs game room is ideal for playing host to convivial gatherings, while the adjacent custom theater room is a cozy movie night escape.

Overall, the home embodies the dual luxury and laid-back character prevalent in the Breckenridge area.

“People move to and live in Breckenridge because they want to be here in this area specifically,” Palazola says.

“Breckenridge has a distinct low-key vibe and a charming small-town feel—paired with its world-class outdoor recreation of course—that really make it stand out.”

42

Cherry Creek Lifestyle | March 2021

The Breck Boom A historically buzzing destination market, Breckenridge has seen an even more dramatic rise in popularity and influx over the past year.

“Our high-end luxury market in particular has seen tremendous growth, and it’s not slowing down,” Palazola says. “We’re seeing a lot of people choose Breckenridge as the place where they want to not just work remotely, but also live their lives, so buyers need to come ready to commit.”

THIS BLOOMING BOULDER COMPANY WILL HELP YOU REALIZE YOUR INDOOR PLANT DREAMS. The female-led brand is the creation of Sierra Voss and Molly O’Connell who in 2019 began their joint venture to create Incrementum. With backgrounds in set design, photography, and wardrobe styling, the women have worked together on hundreds of creative projects during their illustrious careers in commercial video production. Their choice to opt-out of the fast-paced commercial world meant leaning into their calling to create healthier spaces for people.

“We have seen each other at our lowest in terms of our health and what our work environment brought out in us. We realized how unhappy and unhealthy we really were, and so it’s really fun to build a company together that is so much healthier for us,” say Voss and O’Connell.

Incrementum is the Latin word for "growth" which references their brand slogan, “Plants that Grow with You.” They are all about investing in plants with intention while providing education around nurturing indoor greenery.

The Colorado natives have also led lives closely linked to nature, with Voss’s background in conservation and environmental studies and O’Connell’s experience in horticulture and herbalism. Their relationships to plants are now being beautifully expressed through a fusion of design and education to create a hands-on experience as they style interiors evoking a direct con-

“Maybe your furniture is very structured, so you want a more minimalist plant like a Ficus Audrey, or maybe you want to go the opposite direction, opting for a jungle plant like a Dracaena to juxtapose your furniture,” Voss says.

“Once you understand basic care, the rest really becomes intuitive,” says O’Connell.

“We feel it's important to consult with people before they invest a lot of money in plants. Plants shouldn't be disposable, and we're seeing an increase in plant hoarding during the pandemic,” they say. “Consultations upfront protect your investment and contribute to sustainable consumerism while decreasing plant stress.”

A HOSPITALITY CONCEPT WITH COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY CHELSEA CHORPENNING

WE SAT DOWN WITH SOMEBODY PEOPLE OF DENVER, COLORADO TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BRING TOGETHER FRESH PRODUCE, ZERO WASTE, NATURAL WINES, AND...COCKTAILS! TELL US ABOUT YOUR CONCEPT AND WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE? Somebody People is a bright energetic hospitality concept, that is working towards zero waste, loves organics, fresh produce and to explore the flavors of the Mediterranean through housemade pastas, breads and sauces. We adore fruit and vegetables and use cooking techniques to get the best flavors out of them.

Every week we offer a subscription-based Produce Box which highlights seasonal organic produce, recipes, dips and sauces. And the best thing is you can include natural wines and house- made cocktails.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR BRANDING AND WHAT THE INSPIRATION IS. Drawing upon '50s Palm Springs colors, highlighted with gold and playful curves.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR OFFERINGS AND WHAT YOU'RE MOST EXCITED ABOUT. We are extremely excited about the Colorado growing season when our Produce Box becomes increasingly local, our connection between the farmer, the restaurant and our amazing customers deepens, and we can promote what Colorado can produce.

Our in-house cocktail program is also super fun, Michael Buonocore, our beverage director, creates seasonal drinks using fresh ingredients to suit any occasion.

TELL US WHAT YOU BRING TO THE DENVER COMMUNITY AND HOW YOUR NAME RELATES. We bring an entertaining dining experience with DJ’s on the weekend, humorous servers, bright colors and fun, 'cause that’s what it is about.

Our name “Somebody People” is from a David Bowie song ‘Five Years.’ Have a listen...
