Architect Near Breckenridge, Colorado

We’re on short-notice from a developer in Summit County, Colorado regarding a boutique light commercial lodging project, with early planning focused on hospitality design and site feasibility. This land is just north of Breckenridge, Colorado. The architectural designs will reflect surrounding community mountain resort styles, but with a unique presentation.

Barry’s earlier career experience designing Hilton Hotels will provide insights for these conceptual designs, along with pertinent adjunct support from consultants such as landscape professionals. These are inclusive of: a restaurant facility; small amphitheatre; large gym; commercial level laundry capabilities; maintenance building; and general manager/employee office logistics. Master planning will also include an Event Center space adjacent to the restaurant.

The preliminary scope of work is for individual ‘duplex lodges’, whereby one of the units is designed for adults/two couples and the other unit is designed for parents and their kids. In this manner, large family gatherings, especially during the Holidays, can accommodate Grandparents and Aunt's and Uncle's in close proximity to the younger generation, yet privacy is maintained. Each lodge will have decks, ski/snowboard and bilking and hiking gear storage, a natural gas fireplace and high volume ceilings with wood trusses. Other possibilities being explored for this development, is that some particular pods will have capabilities for longer term rental.

The adults/two couples units will have a Master Suite each; typical with master bath and a his/her separate closet. A semi-open space office adjacent to each Master Suite, will also be in each unit. This unit will have a hot tub, bar unit and fire pit.

The parents and their kids units will have two bedrooms and two baths each. One bedroom will be designed as the Master with one large king size bed and the other Bedroom with two separate twin beds and optional ‘bunk bed’ possibilities to accommodate more kids.

Our designs will include sustainable conscious specifications such as: energy-efficient lighting on timers; low-water consumption washing machines and showers; sustainable finish materials such as bamboo flooring; fire code specifications for furnishings; solar panels on all roofs; electric powered maintenance vehicles; waste reduction guidelines to be followed by the Hotel and Guests as well; etc.

Exterior building designs will include specifications of: a natural earth tone color palette; fire-resistant cement fiber siding; Class A multi-color asphalt shingle composition roof; double pane windows with argon gas; handicap designed unit per ADA standards; fire-retardant Trex decks; indoor/outdoor pool; discreet video surveillance throughout the property; etc.

As well, we’re providing a preliminary cost estimate and timeline of milestone events that need to be accomplished.

This service is a part of our ‘Consulting’ services option.

Best Always!
