Mortared Paving

Mortared Paving

Downtown Aspen

The City of Aspen launched a downtown enhancement and pedestrian master plan to improve streets in the downtown core with different levels of pedestrian and vehicular use. A two-block zone was selected as a construction prototype, testing the design’s effectiveness. The Danish Hand Mould pavers create a unique streetscape based on historic precedents. Varying thicknesses were used to accommodate the pedestrian and vehicular needs of the streets.
