Apogean is the result of close collaboration between trusted partners - Sovereign Properties, Beaver Capital, Epstein Architects, PAA Architects, MVJ Interior Design, and local real estate advisors, Mark Gordon and Rebekah Zenor. From architecture to interiors and development, each detail reflects a unified commitment to craftsmanship, restraint, and enduring quality.

Pierce Austin Architects is a Vail-based architecture and interior design firm with over four decades of presence in the valley. Founded in 1978, they have been responsible for much of Vail's growth and redevelopment, with most of their work concentrated in eastern Eagle County. Their portfolio includes some of the area's most recognizable landmarks, and their deep roots in the community have earned them a longstanding reputation for quality and contextual design. Their philosophy centers on listening to the client rather than imposing a signature style, with the goal of translating each client's aspirations into physical reality.

Interior Designers

At MVJ Design, interiors are conceived as living works of art - spaces that transcend trends and embody elegance, intention, and timeless sophistication. Based in Miami with over 25 years of experience, the studio has led distinguished projects across Miami, Panama, Caracas, New York, and is currently contributing to a prestigious development in Vail, Colorado. From restaurants to private residences, each project reflects a discerning eye and an unwavering commitment to environments that feel exceptional and enduring. Founded by Magdalena Vallenilla, whose early immersion in art and design shaped her creative vision, MVJ Design is guided by a cultivated aesthetic grounded in culture, heritage, and craftsmanship. Her signature style juxtaposes contemporary forms with carefully sourced antiques and one-of-a-kind pieces, creating interiors layered with depth and character. She believes art is the soul of a home - an element that elevates a space from beautiful to meaningful. Every commission is curated with precision, where proportion, texture, and history are orchestrated to create interiors that feel sophisticated, soulful, and distinctive.
