Current Project Update

From conception to reality...

We are entering the final stages of our latest project in Snowmass Village. It is so rewarding to see a project come together! 

Steve Novy with Greenline Architects was the Architect for this project & Evolve Structural Design was the structural engineer. We also had some very great subcontractors for the project!

For the basement, we used ICF's, or Insulated Concrete Forms, for extra insulation & structural integrity. All walls & ceilings were insulated with polyurethane spray foam & Knauf EcoBatt Insulation. The batt insulation is made from rapidly renewable organic materials & contains a minimum of 61.9% post-consumer recycled content.

As far as the siding, we used HardiBoard lap siding & HardiBoard board & batten siding. HardiBoard is known for its durability, weather resistance, fire protection & resistance against moisture or rot. We also utilized rusted corrugated metal for some of the siding & roofing.
