Description
3-story multi-family housing expanded to 4-story and footprint doubled in size. This project included a complete interior and exterior renovation.
Design Features
Coordination and integration of design direction between the condominium association and Town of Vail. Great care and coordination was taken to assure neighbor’s views were not significantly impacted. Although this project increased in size, site sensitivity was important which resulted in a restrained approach to expansion with a focus on fitting in rather than standing out.
Sustainable Practices
Sustainable and local materials and energy conservation systems were key design features. BIM modeling and advanced building technologies were used to optimize constructibility. The existing building systems were brought up to meet energy efficiency compliance standards.
