🔨 Project Update: Basalt Residences
Two new residences are taking shape side by side, contributing to a growing neighborhood in Basalt, Colorado.
Project One
This two story residence includes approximately 2,000 square feet of living space over a crawl space. The roof form, clean lines, and straightforward structural systems create an efficient design well suited to the narrow site.
The above grade structure utilizes conventional wood framing with a combination of sawn lumber, manufactured members, and roof trusses. Steel elements are incorporated where larger openings or specific structural requirements occur. Reinforced concrete crawl space walls supported by continuous footings provide the foundation.
This project reflects a deliberate structural approach that aligns with the architectural form to create an efficient and durable home.

Project Two
The second residence includes approximately 2,400 square feet of living space and a single car garage. Supported by partial basement and tall crawl space foundations, the home features second level decks on the north and south sides that extend living spaces and enhance connections to surrounding views. Solar integration includes flush mounted roof panels and a trellis mounted array adjacent to the home.
Conventional wood framing forms the primary structural system, while steel elements support larger openings. High capacity shear walls and hold down anchors provide lateral resistance for expansive glazing areas. Reinforced concrete basement walls on continuous footings support the structure above, and the garage is constructed as a durable slab on grade.
This project demonstrates a coordinated structural solution that supports a more articulated architectural expression while integrating modern building systems.
