The Strawberry Fields Ranch is a horse breading and training ranch for cutting horses in Gypsum along the I-70 corridor. Our scope of work has developed in several projects on the site.

Riding and Training Horse Arena – Approximately 80,000 sqft.

Expansion to the Mare barn with more stalls for Mare and colts.

Hay storage  and warming shed.

Misc structure and improvements.

The Grange is a unique housing type to help combat housing shortages for employees in the Summit County area and Breckenridge.  The concept is to provide dormitory style PODs in a large manufactured building. Building the shell quickly and then stacking the PODS in the interior. Amenities in each building would be a shared kitchen, shared dressing, shower and restroom and common space. Some interior storage closets for personal belongings.

The Master plan currently has 7 buildings. 3 of which is one style and the other 4 or another style. Each building has about 47 PODS with about 60% of the PODS are 12×16 being large enough for two beds and the remaining are 12×12 for one bed.

Summit County has a sustainability code which this building would need to comply with. So, solar panels, community gardens, and high efficiency buildings are being designed.

The plan also includes an amenities building for exercise, laundry, offices and etc.

TAB and DLR have been hired by Eagle County School District to design a multi-use site with a Early Childhood Facility and School District Housing.

Design will be on an existing ECSD site in Gypsum on a site near to existing schools.

We are proceeding with Schematic Design at this point in time.

Initial concepts are shown below.

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.

Nottingham Ranch is a Master Planning effort we performed for a lot in Eagle County (Avon). The Owner wanted us to pursue possible residential configurations on the site. We studied multi-story structures and mixes of duplexes and medium side structures.

Mc Grady Acres is a Multi-family project in Avon, Colorado. The sites are located on the edge of the Eagle River. The original property was two parcels we combined into one property. This combination allowed us to remove some setbacks and other site issues to increase the density. The layout includes 6 buildings ranging from 3-5 units. Units are mostly 3 and 4 bedroom units with one deed restricted unit. Square footages are 3,500 to 4,500. Each unit is three stories with the lowest level proving a 2 car garage, entry, mud room and extra spaces. Mid level are the bedrooms and then the main living is on the most upper level. Design preference for the Owners was a more mountain feel.

Site work is underway.

Price-Brookshire Car Wash, Clyde, NC, 2020

Cordillera Trailhead – Pool Replacement and Addition, Cordillera, Eagle County, CO; 2020
Trailhead is an existing community center for the Cordillera with community rooms and an existing pool. TAB was hired to design a new pool with 3 lap lanes, a slide with slide landing area, and a separate Kiddie Pool. New designs for renovating and facilitating efficient use of areas for maintenance and occupants were also included in the design. A new expansive patio looking over the Valley will provide a safer place for the families and areas for sun bathing and large gatherings.

Dillon Valley Vistas- 6 Duplex Community, Dillon, CO; 2019-2020.

Dillon Valley Vistas is a project in Dillon, CO that contains 6 Duplex Units. Each duplex is a 2-story, 3-4 bedroom home with a 2 car garage. The design of each housing unit is similar with the living, kitchen and dining areas located on the main level along with the two car garage. A datum containing the stair to the second level as well as a laundry closet, bathroom and entry closet keep the living area separate from the garage without feeling like a cluttered or oppressive division. The drawings shown of Duplex 5 (housing units 5A & 5B) show the difference of the three bedroom and four bedroom units.

The planting plan was designed by fieldscape Landscape Architects in Avon, Colorado.

This project has been nominated for the 2022 Eagle Award! ‘Even a nomination indicates that you have done extraordinary work in the Affordable Housing Community…’

“There are 3 and 4 bedroom units in a duplex configuration within the development. Each unit includes a two car garage and the opportunity to create a fenced in backyard. Energy efficiency, livability and sustainability are core concepts the project used in its design. Dillon Valley Vistas is the first for sale workforce housing development in Summit County in which each unit is compliant with the 2018 International Energy Code (IECC), the County’s recently adopted Sustainable Building Code. It is also the first to obtain a certification of compliance with the Department of Energy’s Net Zero Energy Ready Homes Program.”

Nottingham Condos; Avon, CO

The Nottingham Condominiums is a planning project that contains a cluster of townhomes and condominiums on the Eagle Riverfront in Avon, Colorado. The concepts created vary in parking techniques (whether surface or subterranean),  types of housing, condominiums and townhomes, as well as different approaches to site entrance, among other things. These concepts help gauge a direction or two to be followed into schematic design where they are further developed and designed. Two concepts of further development can be seen in the attached images, showing a townhome building option with elevations, floor plans, and a section diagram, while the other concept shows subterranean parking, site & floor plans, and exterior elevations.

Eagle Valley Elementary, Eagle, CO; 67,000 s.f. addition; $23.5 million; 2017 – 2018

Master planning, design assist and full Construction Administration. TAB Associates completed Master planning prior to the 2016 bond. We teamed up with DLR during the design and construction document process. Together, we delivered a new elementary school to replace the aging existing building. The original school was based on the open concept of the 1970’s with center core classrooms. There have been many interior renovations throughout the years but with poor results regarding the mechanical distribution, poor acoustics and unequal classroom sizes. Eagle Valley Elementary School is part of the International Baccalaureate program and is PK-5. Part of a K-8 campus design which began with site studies by TAB Associates, Inc. in 2015, was to create a new campus from the existing campus with Eagle Valley Middle. Incorporating the International Baccalaureate program with dual language capabilities were the central concepts for the design of the new school.  The floor plan allows for the flexibility needed to accommodate the needs of a dual language program as well as a variety of open common spaces which reflect the needs of the 21^st century student.

Eagle Valley Middle Renovation and Addition, Eagle, CO; 80,000 s.f. addition; $24 million; 2017 – 2018

Part of a K-8 campus design which began with site studies by TAB Associates, Inc. in 2015, the idea was to create a new campus from the existing campus with Eagle Valley Elementary. TAB Associates, Inc. completed the Master Plan prior to the 2016 Bond and helped realize the project through design assist and full Construction Administration along with the DLR Group. The project included an addition and renovations to the existing structure which was originally built in the 1980’s.  The school suffered from cramped hallways, classrooms and a dated mechanical system which was unsustainable and unaccommodating. The new design provided more space, more security and more environmentally sustainable systems.  The renovations and addition of the cafeteria allowed for more flexibility, allowing for the 21st century learning experiences that the students needed.

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.
