Designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, The Meeting House is a private residence in Aspen, Colorado, distinguished by its sculptural stainless-steel roof. The flowing structure defines the building's architectural character, supported by just ten wooden columns and a glazed façade that creates a sense of openness and lightness.

The roof consists of 900 uniquely contoured stainless-steel elements, assembled into 12 large segments to achieve Gehry's distinctive design. Combining complex engineering with precision manufacturing, the structure demonstrates how advanced fabrication techniques can bring ambitious architectural forms to life while maintaining a focus on sustainability and a minimal carbon footprint.

CIG contributed to the project from concept design through engineering, fabrication, and delivery. Our team produced the 900 stainless-steel elements with a non-directional ground finish and transported them to the United States for assembly. We also provided on-site installation support, helping realize the intricate roof structure envisioned by Gehry.
