A Community‑Driven Vision
The Larkspur Apartments project demonstrates the power of design solutions shaped by community needs. The Town of Breckenridge required housing that would serve local workers while respecting the surrounding mountain environment. EVstudio understood the stakes. The team focused on sustainable construction, efficient layouts, and a cohesive architectural identity.
Because the town prioritized functional and attractive housing, EVstudio incorporated features that support long‑term livability. The site design frames natural views. The building forms remain sensitive to the alpine context. The interiors reflect comfort, durability, and efficiency. Each choice aimed to enhance quality of life for residents.

Design That Elevates Mountain Living
Although the project serves an essential workforce role, it also demonstrates that attainable housing can deliver strong design value. EVstudio emphasized warm materials, balanced massing, and efficient floor plans. These decisions created a residential experience that feels both practical and welcoming.
Moreover, Symmetry Builders brought precision and craftsmanship to the construction phase. Their dedication ensured alignment with design goals and community expectations. The Town of Breckenridge played a crucial role by supporting a vision that blends affordability, sustainability, and aesthetic harmony. As a result, the finished project reflects collaboration at every step.
Recognition That Reinforces Purpose
The NAHB BALA program celebrates excellence in residential design across the nation. Therefore, earning Silver Awards places The Larkspur Apartments among the top examples of innovative, well‑executed housing solutions. This recognition reinforces EVstudio’s belief that great design should serve real people and strengthen real communities.
While awards are not our goal, they validate the importance of thoughtful work. They also highlight the value of listening carefully to clients, partners, and residents. Each design decision in The Larkspur Apartments came from a commitment to context, function, and dignity.
Looking Ahead
EVstudio remains dedicated to creating environments that elevate lives. The Larkspur Apartments stands as a strong example of that mission. With each new project, our team continues to seek design excellence that supports communities like Breckenridge.
We thank our partners, collaborators, and the NAHB BALA program for this honor. We look forward to advancing more impactful housing solutions throughout Colorado and beyond.
