Up The Wow Factor Anyone who has ever entered a freshly renovated powder bath or been in awe over a beautifully organized closet knows that big doesn’t always mean better when it comes to renovation. Sometimes, the little changes can have a large influence. To those seeking a quicker overhaul, the Forum Phi team recommends focusing on the kitchen or bath, designing for indoor-outdoor flow and integrating new millwork for a change in the character of a space.
HOMEOWNERS ARE FAVORING INTIMATE SPACES, BUT WANT OPEN-CONCEPT ENTERTAINING AREAS TOO.”

Every region has its own nuances when it comes to architecture and design, from the sentiments of locals to the demands of the land and everything in between. For Jennifer Olson, Ryan Walterscheid, Ryan Lee and their team at Forum Phi Architecture and Interior Design, these aspects of place are imbued into everything their Aspen-based firm undertakes. “We have been working here for nearly two decades,” Olson says. “We draw inspiration from our clients and surroundings.” This philosophy of honoring people and place has extended to Forum Phi’s endeavors both in their hometown and throughout the country. Alongside that goal rests a determination to exude a full-service, client-centric approach. Olson says, “Encompassing everything from meticulous land planning to the refined touch of white-glove interior design installation, we create and renovate homes that are deeply reflective of the owner’s lifestyle and preferences.”
“We are currently working on a pro bono project for a local couple who tragically lost their home and family in a house fire,” Lee shares. “The collective effort of the Aspen community, with donations pouring in for this couple, underscores our dedication to the well-being of both individuals and the whole community. It’s a genuine reflection of our philosophy in action, where design serves a higher purpose—bringing people together and making a positive impact on their lives.” Top This stunning room features a bespoke live-edge walnut-and-brass dining table and a showstopping glass temperature-controlled wine room to showcase the homeowners’ curated collection.
