up around the Snowmass Base Village, the $3.5 million transformation inside the community building continues at a pace to be open for the winter season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The 8,700-square-foot building will consist of a restaurant, small bar, community space and a game lounge, and at a recent Town Council meeting, those involved with the remodel and operating of the space said the partnership with the town is going well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Longtime local chef Martin Oswald, who will run the Mix 6 restaurant and Moxie bar area, said the design groups for the two-story building have worked well with the seating areas as well as the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Those plans allow for everything from fast-casual restaurant style of Mix 6 to catering any size public or private events to doing a 10-course meal with wine pairings, \u201cwe are set up to do that, and very flexible with that,\u201d Oswald said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe have a modern, different design in the kitchen, to understand and handle both needs\u201d from events with hundreds at the ice rink to smaller private events, he told the Town Council at its June 3 meeting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Anchoring the downstairs will be a game lounge for children with some of the usual activities to burn off that leftover energy, including a ball pit designed to look like Ziegler Reservoir and paying tribute to Snowmass\u2019s woolly mammoth finds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The game area will have a number of kid-centric interactive art installations, including a musical mural. Being designed by Denver-based artist Detour, the piece will have color bars that make a different note and will create sound ranging from a guitar to a piano, Singer said, calling it \u201cvisually interesting and super interactive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">As well, there are plans for a drawing wall mural on a dry-erase board that children can draw on and be wiped off each day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The community space upstairs is being designed with mobility in mind to be able to go from small seating areas to talk or relax to an open concept that can host indoor concerts or large public or private events. Singer said the furniture will be light enough that just a few people will be needed to transform the space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">However, most of the time it will be arranged so people can come relax and hang out or conduct a few quick updates, East-West managing partner Andy Gunion said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe want that to be a place where you can go check emails for a couple of hours and feel comfortable hanging out there,\u201d he told council. \u201cYou might go grab a drink or something, but it\u2019s supposed to be a community space where you can relax and hang out. The real game-changer for next season will be Martin in there, and now we can have catering in there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Oswald\u2019s fast-casual concept is to get people making what they want and when, then hanging out while the kids play nearby or getting back to the outdoors. He said he is putting out \u201cmy best recipes from the last 35 years\u201d with the idea of getting anybody who walks through the door to eat there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThey might want a place to sit down and relax and not feel obligated to order right away,\u201d Oswald said, adding that when they do \u201cit goes very, very fast and you actually choose to sit down outside or inside in the different locations we have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Previously know as Building 6, the town owns the property and leases it to East-West Partners, one of the major partners in the $600 million Base Village revival.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Plans are in the works for a Dec. 14 reopening party, officials said during a June council meeting, and construction should be finished by Thanksgiving. There likely will be some soft openings between those dates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The building was open for the past winter season, and Charlie Singer with East-West Partners said they hosted more than 5,000 people over the course of 130 events, ranging from yoga classes to a holiday market. East-West spent about $250,000 for the winter programming and temporary build-out, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt was a substantial investment for most of this past winter, but we think it\u2019s been a great success and well-received,\u201d Singer said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">And while the interior work continues there and at the two buildings behind it known as One Snowmass, the summer program is picking up at the Base Village and complements the events at the Mall, which is base for the Thursday concerts and other weekly events.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">At the June 17 council meeting, the community board made up of local business representatives talked about the growing partnership to promote activities in both areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Getting people back and forth from the Mall to Base Village continues to come into the conversation with the colorful gondola known as the Skittles, and it was brought up at the most recent council meeting. While no decision is in the works, all those involved said it is an issue that needs to be addressed as more people are coming and going between the hubs and lines, and waits are happening more often.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Town officials said the Base Village development and work with East-West continues to meet their approval and adds to the excitement as the area becomes more known to visitors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThey\u2019ve been great partners and stepped up. They certainly have a business need to make this function well, and we have a community to make this function well,\u201d Town Manager Clint Kinney said of East-West\u2019s efforts. \u201cBetween those joint efforts, we\u2019ve done some pretty great work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/snowmass\/snowmass-community-building-the-collective-taking-shape-should-open-in-december\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While summer activities continue to expand at the Base Village area, The Collective building is getting a $3.5 million interior remodel and the community building is set to re-open for the winter ski season.Jeremy Wallace\/The Aspen Times Show CaptionsHide Captions Things are really starting to come together inside The Collective.
