In Aspen, Even the Weed is Luxurious

Unless you’re ready to be the Ralph Lauren of pot, don’t even think about opening a pot shop in Aspen. Silverpeak Apothecary happens to be a couple of blocks down from Lauren’s shop, as well as the boutiques for Louis Vuitton and Gucci. To give the shop a jet-set feel, a team led by architects Javier Jarak and Diego Agulleiro of Buenos Aires has been commissioned to create a stylish new space that is both “welcoming and interactive.” The 1,600-square-foot remodel is expected to open by fall, and renderings make Apothecary look more like a jewelry store or art gallery than the drug den people might imagine.
