Our Company
Thunderbowl Architects is a small, full service design firm located in downtown Aspen. We are primarily commissioned with high-end residential, for both developers and end users, though we work in the tenant finish and light commercial realms as well. We value creativity, attention to detail, and the craft of design and architecture. The name Thunderbowl Architects, pays homage to Whipple Van Ness Jones, the founder of Aspen Highlands and the grandfather of Ryan Doremus.
