Services
Residential Architecture
Our residential architecture services create custom living spaces that reflect client personalities while optimizing functionality. We specialize in mountain-style homes that integrate with Colorado's natural landscape. Our process includes site selection analysis, zoning compliance, and energy-efficient design solutions that maintain aesthetic appeal while reducing long-term operating costs.
Commercial Architecture
We design commercial spaces that balance productivity with aesthetic appeal. Our expertise includes educational facilities, office buildings, and mixed-use developments. We focus on maximizing space efficiency while maintaining compliance with local regulations and incorporating sustainable materials and energy-saving systems.
Passive Design
Our passive design approach creates buildings that maintain comfortable temperatures with minimal mechanical systems. We optimize natural light, thermal mass, and air sealing techniques to achieve net-zero ready construction. This includes creating airtight building envelopes that improve indoor air quality while significantly reducing energy consumption.
3D Scanning Services
We utilize LiDAR-based laser scanning to create precise digital models of existing structures. Our technology captures measurements accurate to 2mm with 262-foot range, enabling comprehensive as-built documentation. This data supports renovation projects, structural analysis, and integration with CAD software for accurate construction planning.
Accessory Dwelling Units
We specialize in designing compliant accessory dwelling units that maximize property value. Our team navigates local regulations to create functional secondary living spaces.
