The Alpinist is a newly renovated Work Space in Eagle-Vail Colorado.  This original office building built in late 90’s was home to a single company and their lease was finally up. The Owner wanted to reimage this building from a typical office built to a new space which would provide more of a community space with a Cafe, work spaces, smaller offices and updated feel.

The original building had office space, a basketball court and pool for the employees.  New renovation will remove the existing spaces.

A fresh new look to the exterior with paint, new entry and additional large window in what was once the basketball court.  The entry leads into a new shared workspace with a cafe, conference room, phone booths and other work spaces.

This 2,100 sqft, pre-engineered metal building is of wonderful convenience to the patrons of the RV Park it serves. Primarily programed as a retail/grocery/convenience store with food, drinks, basic necessities, camping, fishing, and more, the store serves to help facilitate continued adventures. Additionally, there is a laundromat with 10 machines as well as the office for the RV Park and public restrooms.

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.

This project began as master planning that was intended to maximize the available space of Lots 5 and 6 in Spring Creek Park in Gypsum, Colorado. The master plan was finalized with six buildings located on Lot 5 and three buildings located on Lot 6. This master plan is set to be 2 phases, with Lot 6 being the first stage to move forward to construction. The 9 buildings are split into 3 different building types: Building Type A, Building Type B, and Building Type C. Each building has the same depth at 50 feet, and are divided into individual bays. Building Type A is the smallest building, at 76′ long with 4 bays total. Building Type B, the most used type, has a length of 96′ with 5 bays. Building Type C is the largest at 116′ in length with 6 bays on its interior. All of the buildings’ bays have a restroom and space for a future loft if the tenant desires. The buildings are Pre-Engineered with each bay having a garage door and man door for easy loading and access into each space. Construction is anticipated to start in Fall of 2022.

TAB was hired to complete a building started by another Architect (359 Design). The other Architect brought the project through initial design review. 1200 Capitol is a multi use use building with Housing and Commercial space. At around 13,000 square feet there are 16 1 and 2 bedroom units and a commercial/ office spaces on the lower level.

The mix use facility is also a mixed building type. Steel is being used as the super structure but the housing units will be modular units stacked in place.

We are currently working through Design Development.

Town of Vail/ Eagle County School District Parking Structure, 160 Parking Spaces- 4 Levels; Vail, CO; 2017-2018.

11.3KW solar panel system for power of the general needs as well as electric car stations on each level. Circulation to each level is exterior from the perimeter road. With no interior circulation more parking spaces became available. A Pre-cast concrete structural system was used with integral color and wood texture for some finish relief. Nichia wood paneling, stucco and stone also provide Architectural interest.

The structure was built in a joint effort between the Eagle County School District, Town of Vail and Vail Resorts. The school district reached out to the Town of Vail to possibly help with lack of parking for the school and site circulation. Site circulation for the school and adjacent Town Gymnastics center had been an issue for many years due to traffic and pedestrian flow.  Since the property the school sits on is leased from the Town of Vail, the parking structure and site circulation was presented to the Town to help with school parking but also a lack of pubic parking for the Town of Vail.
