Practice Lead, Pete Jefferson, recently wrote an article about the progress the Pikes Peak Summit House was making, now that construction has begun. Since this project is being built on the top of a mountain, several solutions were considered by our team along with design team, RTA Architects and GWWO Architects, and general contractor GE Johnson, to make sure the summit house was habitable in the harsh climate.

Since joining our team in 2000, Pete Jefferson has continually brought a whole-systems perspective and a deep knowledge of sustainable solutions to his project teams. With a strong background in mechanical engineering, he sees each building as an integrated system, where climate, architecture and systems must work harmoniously. Pete believes that it is through this harmony that high-performance buildings yield the best outcomes for the clients who own them, as well as the individuals who occupy them.
