Wellness has evolved from an amenity list into a planning principle. Increasingly, residential developments, especially at the luxury end of the market, are being designed to support a wellness-driven lifestyle.
One of Aspen’s more architecturally significant legacy properties has entered the market for the first time in over three decades. Listed for $70 million, the estate was designed by Robert A.M. Stern, and it remains in the hands of its original owner, Frederic “Rick” A. Bourke, co-founder and former president of Dooney & Bourke. The home was completed in 1993 and spans 10,637 square feet on roughly 3.5 acres at the top of Red Mountain.
Thoughtful details define luxury homes. From custom cabinetry to statement lighting, every element of a high-end kitchen plays a role in shaping the overall aesthetic and experience of a space. One feature that has quietly evolved from a purely practical fixture into a design centerpiece is the stainless steel sink.
People want rooms that feel personal, with furniture, color, layout, and materials chosen to fit their lifestyle. Astrology has emerged in home design as another way to express taste, mood, and personality.
Luxury homes are often defined by their architecture, location, and square footage. Yet what truly distinguishes a high-end residence from an ordinary one is the interior environment. Thoughtful design choices transform beautiful properties into memorable living spaces that reflect sophistication, comfort, and personality.
A handcrafted upholstered furniture brand out of the Northeast spent years relying on photography. Consistent, professional — and increasingly frustrating. Every shoot used the same backdrop. Roomsets were too expensive to consider. And each season, the cycle started again: new pieces, new bookings, new delays.
Designed by Toronto-based interior designer Lori Morris—known for bold, highly layered luxury interiors—“Entertainer’s Dream” was crafted to be a purpose-built entertaining environment, with each space arranged to move guests through a deliberate sequence of lounge, bar, and media settings.
On paper, après-ski has always been about softening the edges of a hard day—boots kicked off, cheeks still wind-burned, a drink in hand. But at many luxury resorts, the post-slope ritual is being rewritten to maintain the relaxing aspect of a long day of skiing while further prioritizing care, longevity, and performance. Recovery has become a centerpiece of the mountain experience, and hydrotherapy is increasingly the language resorts use to deliver it.

On a well-appointed equestrian property, the stable should feel intentional, quiet, and effortless to use. But in barns, “beautiful” can’t come at the expense of function. Horses live in these spaces every day, and small design missteps—stagnant air, damp floors, cramped stalls, noisy hardware—can quickly become health and behavior issues that ripple into daily care.
