WATER IS THE NEW GOLD IN THEM THAR HILLS.

Up here in the Colorado high country, we’re not simply drilling down to a conventional water table. We’re searching for the convergence of fractures in ancient bedrock, where groundwater finds its way through the mountain.

On our projects, we’ve encountered water at depths ranging from 230 to 700 feet.

But how do we decide where to drill?

A little old-fashioned water witching enters the picture.

More on that curious exercise in an upcoming post.

I didn’t set out to develop a mountain. I was just looking for a place to park the ‘69 Shasta.

This was our setup when I purchased the Isabelle Lode on Alps Hill-

What began as a simple place to get away gradually turned into an off-grid adventure involving land development, design, and high country construction in the Rocky Mountains.

More than a decade later, we’re still here.

Every Halloween, a sweet little witch leaves the cemetery in search of treasure to offer the moon, hoping that one day, its magic will reunite her with her lost daddy. 🌙

HOW DO YOU GET A 4,000-POUND STEEL BEAM TO THE TOP OF A MOUNTAIN IN A SNOWSTORM?

You figure it out.

At VEDA MODERN, building at elevations above 9,000 feet presents challenges long before construction begins. Sometimes the greatest challenge isn’t building the house. It’s getting the house up the mountain.

Alongside our excavation partner, Black Diamond Excavating, we navigate steep terrain, unpredictable weather, and difficult access to make these homes possible.

Bring it on.

THE HOUSE IS TRANSITORY. NATURE SUSTAINS.

On the western slope of Alps Hill, ancient stone formations covered in living lichen have quietly evolved through generations of wind, weather, and time.

When charting roads and positioning homes, I believe the landscape deserves consideration before architecture.

The challenge isn’t simply where to build, but what to leave undisturbed.

Stewardship. Shelter. Lifestyle.

REIMAGINING THE GOLD RUSH | JEFFERSON–CALHOUN

Just a minute’s walk from the 16 VEDA MODERN homes on Alps Hill stands this remarkable remnant of Colorado’s gold-mining era.

Since 2015, our work with Bonanza Land LLC has been inspired by these historic mining landscapes and the possibilities of giving extraordinary places new purpose.

What might emerge when contemporary architecture meets the industrial ingenuity of another century?

An exploration of adaptive reuse, thoughtful design, and the enduring character of Colorado’s mining country.

OFF-GRID AT 9,200 FEET | GALLERY VEDA

Snowfall in the Rocky Mountains doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort.

At Gallery VEDA, solar energy, lithium battery storage, and intelligent power management make independent mountain living possible—even between periods of sunshine.

A different approach to living off-grid, where technology and thoughtful design work together.

ADAPTIVE REUSE | GALLERY VEDA

VEDA MODERN’s next pet project explores transforming a retired steel water cistern into a space for silence and contemplation on the grounds of Gallery VEDA.

The concept preserves the tank’s industrial character while introducing natural light, a rooftop oculus, and a minimal cantilevered platform overlooking the surrounding landscape.

We’re developing the concept in collaboration with Black Diamond Excavation, our trusted development and construction partner for the past decade.

An exploration of adaptive reuse, architecture, and the unexpected possibilities of an ordinary industrial object.

Existing conditions and preliminary design renderings.

ALPS HILL | BONANZA LAND LLC

The crest of Alps Hill, seen here from above, is part of the larger Alps Hill Assemblage and one chapter within the Bonanza Land LLC Portfolio.

The full portfolio catalogue is now complete, bringing together the individual properties, assemblages, history, access, landscape and development potential in one place.

Alps Hill is a good example of why the portfolio is best understood as more than a collection of separate parcels. The crest is one component of a broader assemblage, and the assemblage itself is part of a much larger land portfolio.
