About the architect

Ken Alexander is a consummate renaissance man. A mountain man at heart, Alexander is the founder of Architects Collaborative where he is the lead architect and general contractor. His love of Colorado and the Southwest began 45 years ago when he moved from Michigan to Boulder where he got his degree in Environmental design from University of Colorado. Over his esteemed career he has built and developed more than 50 residential projects and close to 100 commercial projects. The magnificence of nature and being outdoors is Ken’s muse each and every day. He and his wife, Joelle, live in Telluride, where you can often find Ken at 11,000 feet skiing his favorite double back diamond runs and sipping on fine wine at Bon Vivant or 100 feet below the surface of the ocean diving while captaining boats in the Caribbean. Ken also is an avid hiker, biker, cyclist and rafter.
