Located at the base of Snowmass Mountain, the Aura stands as one of the crowning jewels in Snowmass Base Village. Offering 21 luxury residences with access to world-class skiing, outdoor recreation, and premier amenities, Aura exemplifies a new standard of high-end mountain living.
The Aura offers its residents an array of top-tier amenities, including a cozy lounge, a spa-inspired grotto with pools, a private fitness center, ski and bike lockers with storage, and fireplaces. The architectural design maximizes natural light, and the building is strategically oriented to take full advantage of the sun’s warmth during winter. These thoughtful design choices enhance the living experience and contribute to the project’s sustainability goals by reducing energy needs for heating and cooling.
One of the most striking features of the Aura is its use of mass timber construction, specifically cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glulam beams. This method is environmentally friendly and reduces the carbon emissions associated with traditional steel construction. The exposed timber design also offers a biophilic appeal, mimicking nature while capturing carbon throughout the material’s lifecycle. Aura’s use of mass timber marks it as one of the first projects in the Rocky Mountain region to embrace this eco-friendly building practice, demonstrating Haselden Construction’s leadership in sustainable construction.
