This project is an interior and exterior renovation and addition of an existing structure.  Renovations include extensive renovations to the main level to gain bathrooms for each bedroom, a Primary bath and bed expansion and kitchen remodel.

In addition, we are adding a new entry with mud room and an expansion of the existing detached garage.

The design is in progress.

This project involves updating Edwards Station to have a full-service car detail area, enclosure for vacuum engines and pedestrian friendly site design. With curves, glass, and thin structural members, this area is being designed to be open and efficient while also being elegant and visually interesting.

The new residence in Colorow is set in an Aspen and Conifer forest with views of the Gore Range. Currently in design, the home will be about 9,000 sqft with 7 bedrooms. 2 garages for 5 cars, plenty of outdoor deck space.

The home is in design and studying roof forms.

Edwards Learning Center is a renovation of June Creek Elementary for a multi-purpose facility with a focus on Daycare. The Eagle County School District decided to close June Creek Elementary as an Elementary school and reopen with anew use. We master planned and provide construction documents to convert existing lower level classrooms into a 12 room day care facility. The balance of the building will be used for district professional development spaces, staff and as needed spaces for the community.

The Family Learning Center is a Daycare Facility in Eagle County. This Master Planning exercise for a 17,000 sqft building began in 2020. Currently on hold, the Center is looking to replace there existing facility in Edwards, Colorado.

This renovation was a challenge taking the 90s design of “uni-brow” roofs and trying to modernize as much as the DRB would allow. We ended up adding two additions to the house. A Father-in-laws room and a Nannys room. In addition we added new windows and provided for other roof renovations and such to tie it all together.

The existing sqft was 2,852 sqft. With the new additions the home is now 4,020 sqft.

The home is under construction with completion by the end of 2022.

The first set of pictures show the existing home. Then we have 3D images as designed, follow by construction in process.

This 7,605 square foot home has the mountain modern look with large expanses of glass, big roof overhangs and views of the Sawatch range. A long winding road drive below the home and around providing a dramatic entry to the home. A beautiful Aspen forest to the west will provide wonderful array of colors in the fall.  The home has 5 bedrooms, 3 car garage, large and open great room and a game room on the lower level.

Lot 6 Timber Springs is a 35 acre lot in a small enclave of 7 lots.  The lot has views of the Sawatch Range. Traditional materials with a little mountain modern flare this home site against a step hillside with a long driveway. Large decks and patios will provide plenty of outdoor living space. 8,645 square feet of home with a 3 car garage and 5 bedrooms an office space and bonus room to be designed by any potential Owners.

Mountain Hive; co-living facility in Edwards, CO; conceptual design.

The Mountain Hive is an exploration into an all-inclusive co-living space aimed at providing community oriented housing options for the workforce of Vail Valley. This project focuses on housing individuals and couples, with its design not being particularly family oriented. This provides a housing option that is a growing necessity for the predominantly service-oriented workforce in Vail. Our concept focused on cost and flexibility. We proposed pre-fabricated modulars to reduce construction time and cost while maintaining quality work. In terms of flexibility, we designed a “super structure” that is simple and repetitive to house the modulars. The rigidity of the “super structure” and the inherent spontaneity of the modules creates an architectural dichotomy that is easily adaptable and customizable. Our idea was to create two “pods” that concentrate 12-18 units around a shared living space, which are mirrored over the shared kitchen and dining area. These two pods with their shared kitchen, dining and two living spaces make up a floor.

Since the actual living areas are modular by design, the possibilities for interior organization are just about limitless. We tried our hand at creating a few different concepts to explore possible layouts within the different unit types, but the final layout can vary greatly depending on a few factors such as: different variations on the same sized unit, anticipated amenities, furniture types (and if they change per unit type), et cetra. With this modular concept that keeps the design simple and repetitive it allows for the customization/flexibility of the interior to be the star of the show. With this type of design, there is an added level of cost control (in construction as well as unit variation), while still maintaining a quality housing project.

Lake Creek Village Apartments, Exterior Renovations: Eagle County, CO; $7.2 million; 2018.

Lake Creek Village Apartments are a Eagle County Housing development built in the early 90’s. The County hired TAB Associates, Inc. to help remedy a number of issues which have risen since the buildings were built. With a site of 36 buildings this was a big undertaking. Overall there are 3 build types with one, two and three bedroom units. Some of the issues that we inspected and corrected were: Insulation values in the walls, Replacing Windows, Replace siding, Lack of air barrier, and Structural issues.

The first three images show some of the exterior issues which were prevalent, although many of the issues were hidden in the walls.

We were hired to create a new Master Plan update of the plan we started in 2007. This new plan was to create additional buildings and build upon a previous plan.

New academic buildings and office space is a priority one need. We are planning for a new academic building behind the existing structure. Classrooms, office and a large auditorium is part of the concepts. We also provide for a possible new building in the front parking lot. An addition of about 50,000 sqft is wanted.

New parking with a possible solar field above is being considered.

Housing is another area of need noted by the College. A mix of housing styles is desirable. Dorm living with Co-living style spaces. Apartment style with garages is also wanted. Mixed units totaling 250 – 350 and about 120,000 sqft.

Some small commercial is being considered.

Passage sets were custom cast for TAB Associates, Inc. by Sun Valley Bronze. We now have a dishwasher… Double Stuff Oreos anyone?
