The Castle Creek Lodge
As a fairly large and linear home, crafted eclectically from true lodgepole pine logging, colorful shingle jewelry and solid stained concrete, the Lodge at Castle Creek has a way of seeming intimate, quite and friendly. This home is nestled securely against an aspen covered mountain range while it stands proudly in a former haying meadow on the sunny outskirts of Aspen.

The Maroon Creek Lodge
Designed in 2001 for the same owner as the Castle Creek Lodge, this home was meant to be a downsizing in both square footage and, to a degree, in level of finish. The owner had found herself alone too often in the first of Fitz's creations for her, so she came to him with the desire for even smaller rooms and an overall cozier plan.

The Saltonstall Residence
The Saltonstall Residence was a bit of an anomaly in Aspen. Originally designed as a custom/speculative adventure for a novice developer; so typical at the time of the lucky few who attempted to build a dream and who had an offer upon it before the paint was even dry; this home soon took on the nuances of its quirky owner and delivered, in the end, a real home to the friendly soul that commissioned it. She and it were cosmopolitan yet home-oriented, classy and classic with simple and elegant.

The Wildcat Lodge
Based strongly and unabashedly upon the legacy of Gilbert Stanley Underwood and his tragically lacerated Lodge at the North Rim, this grand home overlooks a great mountain chasm high in the Colorado Rockies. The house was meant to become, in a sense, a clear presentation of intriguing simplicity and of delicate western craftsmanship. Simultaneously, the approach, arrival and experience of this great mountain escape suggest that the mass of the building and its rich materiality disguise a boastful and somewhat mysterious complexity.
