Aspen Foyer Contemporary Entry, Denver

This entry's simple composition of lighting layers and well coordinated details create a stunning view for those who enter this incredible Aspen home. Exterior stone is grazed, glass lines are backlit above the fireplace, cove lighting creates ambient light and trimless square accents in the vaulted wood ceiling accent the furniture.

Sorry for the delayed response, I just found a bunch of Houzz questions in my spam folder. If I remember correctly the doors were about 10' tall and the ridge was probably somewhere around 14'. Thx.

I was the lighting designer on this project and I'm not sure there's any cabinetry in this photo. The area above the fireplace is a stone with edge lit glass bands. Below the fireplace, what you see is a chest that is used as a coffee table. The architect was Brian West with Charles Cunniffe Architects in Aspen, Colorado, USA. If you have further questions, feel free to contact Brian.

Those were 4" square RSA Quiet ceiling "truly trimless" flush adjustable MR16 down lights. I know RSA has been going through some big changes so I'm not sure if they still make them. However, Tech, Juno, USAI and others make similar fixtures.

Good luck

I agree, these doors are fabulous. I was the lighting designer on the project, but Brian West with Charles Cunniffe Architects : http://www.houzz.com/pro/charlescunniffearch/charles-cunniffe-architects-aspen could answer your question. Good Luck!

Pot lights LED? - Can you tell me if the pot lights are LED? And are they tiltable or fixed? Interested in using pot lights on a sloped ceiling.

These recessed lights are flush with the wood ceiling and adjustable to 45 degrees. These are not LED, but this project was designed a few years ago. Today you could do a nearly identical design using LED retrofit lamps or LED-specific fixtures. These particular fixtures were made by RSA Lighting and were in their Quiet Ceiling line. Good Luck!

David K Warfel at LightCanHelpYou.com added this to 6 Ways to Light Up Stone and Brick Indoors and Out
A hundred years ago, brick walls were commonly covered up with layers of plaster. Today, many people eagerly pull plaster off walls to expose the worn brick beneath and create a design feature. And now that brick, stone and manufactured stone are available in easy-to-install veneers, it is easier than ever to replace plain drywall with beautiful masonry.But just uncovering or adding a brick or stone wall isn’t enough to get the full effect that masonry can add to your home inside or out. Truly showcasing masonry requires proper lighting. Read on to discover six techniques to highlight your home’s stone and brick to its fullest.
