Howard Vogel

Owner / Broker

While building distinctive homes in the Evergreen, Colorado area Howard discovered an abiding interest in architecture and how things are made. Perhaps unique for a pre-law graduate of the University of Colorado, this growing awareness compelled Howard to build homes and studios that were grounded in some unusual construction concepts, primarily the use of material already available which eliminated the need for production of new materials.

Fast forward 30 years and carpentry gave way to more formal professional construction, creating a style that melded resort destination development and single family residential building.

“Our methods and goals are eerily unchanged,” says Howard. “In fact I find they enjoy more favor in the fast paced information age, when nearly everyone is more aware of the need to achieve sustainability.”

The approach has evolved HearthStone into an entity that Howard characterizes as a green compass company meaning that sustainable products , recycled products and state of the are technology are used. “The developments we become involved in stress respect for the environment, our precious resources and respect for our neighbors' space, as well as the wildlife that come with these outdoor preserves. Our company now specializes in environmentally sound construction, development, and residential destinations.”
