Luis Menendez and Nasrin Nourian Menendez—partners in life and in business—founded their firm in 2004. They and their team bring a love of design, inherent global sensibility, and deep experience to every project. Known for distinctive solutions that respond to the needs and aspirations of their local, national, and international clients, Menendez Architects achieves warmth and comfort with elegant designs that are mindful of refined twenty-first-century living. Based in Aspen, Colorado, the firm provides specific expertise in custom architecture, interior architecture, interior finishes, furnishings and décor as well as thorough construction documentation. Team members are exceptionally familiar with the unique mountain environment and the inherent challenges of building in this region. From ridgeline review to understanding local wildlife and environmental issues; from feasibility studies and site evaluations to space planning and understanding the historic preservation approval process, Menendez Architects specializes in comprehensive preparation long before the design process begins. Profoundly collaborative, the firm has developed long-standing relationships with land-use consultants, contractors, engineers, landscape architects, and specialty craftsmen to create homes of enduring character. To maintain a high level of quality the firm undertakes a limited number of projects each year.
