Ken Pieper
From budding artist in Texas, to leading designer of mountain lodges and estates throughout
America and Canada.

Ken's artistic roots began more than 40 years ago in South Texas. His father was well-regarded
for his imaginative carpentry and fine woodworking. He passed this talent and work ethic on to
Ken at a very young age. At the same time, Ken was developing his talents in fine arts and
drawing. As his career grew, he became highly sought after for his instantly recognizable and
distinctive style of vibrant watercolor illustrations for homebuilders.

About 25 years ago, this talent evolved into designing suburban homes for homebuilders through-
out the U.S. When he and his wife, Dianne, moved to Evergreen, Colorado, he was inspired by the
magnificent, massive timber construction of mountain lodges and estates. After designing several
of these homes, news of his fresh approach to design spread throughout the Colorado and into
Utah, Wyoming, Montana, California and then back over to North Carolina, the Adirondacks, and
now coast-to-coast and into Canada.

As a professional designer, he works closely with the architects and structural engineers on his
team and directs the careful execution of his designs. He pays close attention to new kinds of
building materials and incorporates the latest technologies whether they be for energy efficiency
or the latest in home entertainment and media rooms. While Ken is designing the exterior and
floor plan design, Dianne Pieper, an award-winning designer of interiors, often works on the
same projects to maximize the synergy of their talents. Together, they work closely with the
homeowners to assure everyone's vision is in alignment.

Because Ken is also a constructor of homes from start to finish, he knows what works. An empty
piece of mountaintop with its raw unexplored views is a thrilling experience for both Ken and his
clients. He painstakingly incorporates the topography of the land and surroundings into his
overall design.

Validating Ken Pieper's designs are the numerous accolades from his peers and the professional
associations of which he is a member. His latest work can be found throughout this website and
throughout America's high country.
