What Studio B Architecture + Interiors does

Studio B Architecture + Interiors is a privately held, boutique architecture and interior design practice founded in 1991 in Aspen, Colorado, with a second studio in Boulder. The firm provides integrated architecture and full-service interior design for custom modern residential projects — including mountain retreats, urban infill homes, and mid-century modern renovations — across Colorado's Mountain West, with occasional cultural and institutional work (Aspen Middle School, Aspen Community School) and selective international engagements. Its stated methodology combines hand sketching, weekly pinups, physical model-making, and digital modeling (Rhino, SketchUp, Lumion, AutoCAD/Revit, Adobe suite, Studio Designer) within a structured six-phase design process anchored in site-responsive orientation design.

The firm is led operationally by Principals Sarah Harkins, AIA (LEED AP Homes) and Kyle Burds, AIA, following a 2024 leadership transition in which founders Scott Lindenau, FAIA (AIA Colorado 2017 Architect of the Year) and Susan Okie Lindenau, Assoc. ASID moved to Board roles. The 11–50 person practice has accumulated 75+ AIA design awards across three decades, including multiple Firm of the Year honors, and maintains consistent editorial placement in national publications such as Architectural Digest, Dwell, Dezeen, ArchDaily, and Forbes.

Commercially, Studio B operates as a pure professional services firm: revenue is generated through negotiated design fees for project-based engagements with high-net-worth individuals in Colorado's mountain communities, with no publicly disclosed pricing and no recurring SaaS or productized offering. Client acquisition runs through direct consultation, referrals, and earned media from its award portfolio and PR features, with distribution exclusively through direct enterprise-style client engagement rather than resellers or marketplace channels. The firm reinvests in brand via an Insights blog, active Instagram/LinkedIn/Pinterest/YouTube presence, and curated builder/consultant alliances (e.g., Cadre General Contractors, Maley Building Corp, R-Design Land Architects).
