HANS BERGLUND

Hans deeply values and encourages open minded collaboration with his clients, staff and construction partners and strives to make buildings which are timeless, artful and enjoyable. His projects are characterized by innovative, high quality architecture blending local architectural vernacular designs and natural materials with contemporary influences. Hans has designed award-winning sustainable single-family residential, multi-family residential and mixed-use commercial projects throughout the west for over twenty years. Hans’s diverse experience from this wide range of project scales, types and locations provides a holistic approach to architectural design. Prior to founding Berglund Architects in 2004, Hans was an Associate Principal with Cottle Graybeal Yaw Architects (CGY) and served as the director of its Vail office for 7 years. During his 10 years at CGY, Hans designed award winning multi-million dollar custom residential mountain retreats and large mixed-use projects for such prestigious commercial clients as the Aspen Skiing Company, East West Partners, Hines Interests, and Intrawest Development Corporation. Hans led the design, managed the complex approval process and supervised construction of landmark multi owner/user projects in Keystone, Breckenridge, Aspen and the Vail Valley. As president of Berglund Architects, Hans’s work integrates design excellence with sustainable green building practices, precise project management and comprehensive construction documents.

Hans’ intuitive design insight draws in part from his extensive travel experiences and architectural history background. While in college, Hans spent two semesters studying architecture, architectural history and art history in Italy and Spain. His broad art and architectural background is complemented by extensive experience working in the construction industry in both high school and college. Hans has remained extensively involved with the construction industry throughout his professional career by designing and general contracting three residences, several residential remodels and a commercial office space for himself and his family.
