spen has always been known for its world-class skiing, its over-the-top shopping, and its party-till-you-drop nightlife, but architecture and interior design Not until recently have people started to associate these sensibilities with our little mountain town. And now, if the new home of Karen and Courtney Lord is any indication, haute homes may just be Aspen’s new claim to fame. Courtney Lord first came to Aspen in the 60s and has been an on-and-off local ever since. Originally East coasters, the couple moved from Detroit for good in 2005 with their two children Rachel, 21, and Max, 15, they were determined to build a new home from scratch. “We were looking for lots, originally in the West End,” says Courtney. “On a lark our broker brought us out here”—“out here” being what most would assume is a less than desirable location: across from the city golf course, just north of Highway 82. But the shock is what a spectacular and surprisingly serene spot it has turned out to be. “I took one look at the view and said, ‘We can do this,’” remembers Courtney, who, it just so happens, is a rather legendary and savvy real estate developer. “We wanted to build a courtyard home, and this location lent itself to that.” Holiday 2007/08 | Aspen Magazine | 169
