Blue Horizon
Blue Horizon
Blue Horizon Flex is home to a large cheerleading training gymnasium and support spaces, along with four flex warehouse/office spaces. The varied use and activation of the gymnasium primarily in the evening after standard business hours provides increased activity and character to the subdivision throughout the day. To add to the cohesive design of the subdivision, the material palette incorporates prominent use of light-colored stucco, dark metal canopies and window shades, and dark aluminum storefront frames. Accent cladding, textured siding, and metal panel canopies frame entrances and provide visual hierarchy similar to other buildings in the subdivision, but with a unique addition to the material palette.

Gateway Village Leadville Colorado
Gateway Village Leadville Colorado
EVstudio worked through multiple iterations of the 45-acre parcel. This included the analysis of Large Single Family, Modular Workforce Housing, Hotel/Retail use, and a combination of Multi/ Townhome/Single Family which was the final iteration. Each study included looking at the total vehicle impact, transit opportunity, CDOT access and cost along two state highways, as well as the water and sanitary waste of the potential district that would be formed for on-site treatment of 400+ units.
The site traversed over 100’ in vertical elevation and creating a layout that retained its existing vegetation while terracing down the slope was critical for PUD approval with the community. The layout was intended to create a central corridor of traffic with branches of development to allow each area to maintain privacy and the Leadville
