Expertise
To provide 360-degree expertise for your walk-up, podium, or wrap multifamily project, our architects and civil engineers work together on planning and site feasibility.

Sawtooth Duplexes in Gunnison Colorado
Sawtooth Duplexes in Gunnison Colorado

This sustainable single-family project, located just west of the Gunnison County fairgrounds, features modular duplexes designed with energy efficiency at the forefront. Fading West Construction handled on-site work, while Fading West Homes developed the modular units, ensuring quick construction times and reduced environmental impact. The project includes six duplexes, six duplexed garages, and a single ADU above one of the garages, offering a mix of affordable, eco-friendly housing options for the community.
Sawtooth was one of the first projects where we incorporated an energy-efficient heat pump mini-split system, maximizing comfort while minimizing energy use. The project also adhered to the highest climate zone standards of the 2021 IECC, integrating ERV units to improve indoor air quality and further reduce energy consumption. This combination of sustainable modular design and innovative systems showcases our commitment to providing environmentally responsible, energy-efficient housing solutions that support both the community and the environment.

This shared space allows families to bond, cultivate their own gardens, and engage in a sense of community, making it a cornerstone of the project’s mission.
With a focus on functional design and affordability, Mountain View Community Homes integrates modern aesthetics with a warm, community-centered environment. The project not only provides safe, quality housing but also supports long-term social well-being. By combining innovative architecture with a deep commitment to community development, this project stands as a model for affordable housing solutions that nurture residents and create lasting positive impact. Mountain View Community Homes is a powerful example of how thoughtful design can uplift families and create sustainable, connected communities.

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.
