The Farm – Buena Vista
The Farm – Buena Vista
EVstudio and Fading West deliver modular homes with stronger design coordination, quality control, and quick on-site home assembly in your development. Better, faster, and with less hassle and coordination than traditional and typical modular build processes. This partnership works with developers across the state to provide communities with quality, pre-built housing options at sensible prices. Together, we design beautiful homes that can meet the unique needs of almost any project.
Phase 2 of The Farm at Buena Vista is underway! This 128 unit addition will include 11 detached homes, 40 townhome units, a 77 unit apartment complex, and 4 new green spaces. The Farm was born in 2015 out of a need to provide community-centered, attainable housing in Buena Vista, Colorado. As a result, 90 homes have been built and sold, with many homeowners working, living, and contributing to the local community.

Yellowtail – Big Sky
College of Idaho Dorms
College of Idaho Dorms
This shipping container-style modular project is a student housing project located at The College of Idaho, Caldwell, Idaho. Site Plans for the dorm include building two three-story structures that will house 27 students each for a total of 54 units of new student housing.
The dorm units will be made from repurposed shipping containers and will include a common area surrounded by five single dorm rooms. The units are not only durable but sustainable and energy-efficient as well. This is a dynamic project with several local teams including the manufacturer, Indie Dwell.

Emerald Ridge
Emerald Ridge
An apartment community in the heart of the North Dakota Oil Boom in 2014 providing long-term housing for oil-field workers and their families. By utilizing modular technology, the construction schedules were condensed and able to provide housing solutions during the unparalleled growth and housing shortage crisis. As most resources were employed by Oil Industries throughout the region, construction resources were extremely limited, further enhancing the efficiency of off-site construction. EVstudio Idaho’s (formerly neUdesign) role as Architect of Record over the Modular Portions of Construction helped bring this project to fruition on an expedited schedule to address the immediate housing needs.

The benefits of modular . . .
- Higher Quality. Modular manufacturing quality is consistently better when compared to site-built construction. Built in a factory setting, the process for all the pieces in under intense quality control.
- Cost Savings. Modular cost can be up to 15% cheaper than stick-built.
- Local Knowledge. Not only do we specialize in the design of modular buildings, but we know how to determine if land is optimal for fostering a particular development program. Through effective due diligence, we'll help you develop a winning pro forma. All modular construction complies with local jurisdiction requirements, including building energy codes.
- Speed of Construction. Modular projects can have as much as a 50% time savings over stick-built. Through construction, EVstudio can also conduct site inspections to ensure all components are built and installed per design in real time, further increasing the speed of execution.
- Design Customization. When the architect understands the guidelines of the engineering that takes place in the factory, there's virtually no limit to the design styles you can build with modular construction. From Traditional to Tudor and Colonial to Contemporary, our modular buildings are not limited to any specific architectural style.
- Minimization of Field Work. The time savings for modular homes primarily comes with the construction/assembly phase. Simultaneous site development and construction in the plant reduces the schedule. Our modular projects are even more affordable and accessible for projects in rural areas. Building in a location that is difficult to get to and far from major population centers have little to no workforce. When nearly every element of a project can be constructed in the factory, the time in the field is reduced incredibly.
