An MA Studios-designed remodel and addition —"North Shore B" — is featured in a decorating feature of Better Homes & Gardens in its 2024 Fall news. This beautiful home on the Grand Lake shore is testament to a much earlier time, and the project served to usher in the home to the present day, all while preserving the home's historic nature. Kaleidoscope Designs in Denver completed the interior design, with construction by Bishop Built Construction
MA Studios is proud to announce completion of the 15,000 square-foot Schlessman Family Camper Hub at Camp Chief Ouray, YMCA of the Rockies — the first public building in Grand County to achieve official LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, certification. LEED certification is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement, such as enhanced air quality, water quality, material life-cycle analysis, energy use, carbon footprint, and minimal construction waste. The MA Studios team is seen here at the Schlessman Family Camper Hub just days before the building's first opening to the public, where a Veteran's Day community event took place.
The prestigious regional magazine Mountain Living has again awarded MA Studios the honor of Top Architect in the Winter Park/ Granby area. This list is compiled annually by the editors at Mountain Living. They write: "These architects in mountain territories have worked hard to become top in their professions, and we’ve taken note of their work, along with receiving recommendations from their clients, vendors, professional organizations and readers." MA is honored to maintain the level of work and professionalism deserving of this mention.
And did we mention that Scott is a board member of the American Institute of Architects Colorado? He is an at-large representative on the industry's top prestigious board of directors. In mid-August, Scott invited fellow board members from across Colorado to join him in a tour of his home place, Grand County, which has soldiered protecting West Slope water interests for decades. The tour included the Headwaters Center in Winter Park, then a tour of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project, including a pontoon tour of Grand Lake, culminating with lunch and a tour of the historic Grand Lake Yacht Club, which is undergoing renovations, designed by MA Studios.
MA Studios is in partnership with Hord Coplan Macht of Denver for the design work and construction oversight associated with the $85 million East Grand School District bond project. The work includes: a new Granby Elementary School; East Grand Middle School addition; Fraser Valley Elementary School addition; Middle Park High School renovations; and a new Middle Park High School Career and Technical Education Building. The Sky-Hi News, which covers Grand County, mentioned MA Studios in its recent story about the ground-breaking of the Technical Education Building.
