A Mountain Modern Custom Spec Home at Timber Trail Rd Evergreen

Anyone familiar with Evergreen Colorado knows about it’s windy roads that can quickly get you away from the busy bustling city atmosphere to some very quiet and relaxing settings with great views. On the flip side, building and realizing the dream of a custom home can entail challenging building conditions. One of EVstudio’s latest custom spec builds is no exception. The home featured here required a design to maintain a narrow footprint to keep topography manageable and logistically buildable. We managed those design challenges with an in-house, well-coordinated design team consisting of Architecture, Structural Engineering, and Civil Engineering.








Program
At just shy of 3,400 conditioned square feet, this one-story with walk-out basement, 3-bedroom, 2-1/2 bath with 2-car garage home features efficient floor plans. Program spaces include a stunning open style kitchen, dining and great room, a large pantry, study, and a gorgeous 3-season room with double sided fireplace. The lower walkout level provides a recreation room with dedicated exercise area. There is ample deck space for entertaining and a private hot tub patio off of the primary suite. It is nestled into a private setting with great views across the valley at 8,320 feet in elevation.





This mountain modern aesthetic aims for a functional yet a contemporary feel in this much desired setting. EVstudio has worked on many properties in and around Evergreen and other mountain areas. Some equally challenging and of course some less challenging. If you are in the market to build a home, EVstudio can provide early consulting services for feasibility of any kind of property you may be looking at or currently own. Then from conceptual design through permitting and construction we work with you and your contractor to execute a smooth process. We work with developers, spec builders and private property owners to provide custom design services in almost any construction type out there from traditional stick built, SIPS, ICFs, as well as a growing number of pre-fab and modular building manufacturers in many different states.

Structural Insulated Panel (SIPS) A-Frame House
Structural Insulated Panel (SIPS) A-Frame House

EVstudio completed a permit set for a SIPS A-frame house in the Colorado foothills. SIPS panels laminate structural framing and rigid insulation with structural sheathing on each face. In addition to walls, SIPS can also be used as roofs and floors. The rigid foam insulation in the walls provides superior thermal performance, exceeding code minimums for R-value and air-tightness.
A-frame projects are ideal for SIPS construction because panels and components are produced off-site. This allows easy assembly on-site, reducing construction time and mobilization. Off-site production also cuts down on construction waste as factories optimize processes.
EVstudio has completed several SIPS projects and collaborated with manufacturers like Premier SIPS, the likely contractor for this home. EVstudio has worked to develop detailing, waterproofing, and coordination of panelized systems, making us an industry leader and expert in this type of design.
These clients will live in their A-frame, but A-frames are also great vacation homes or ski cabins. Since the main exterior walls double as a roof with deep overhangs, the exterior of these structures require little to no maintenance. The charm of an A-frame is appealing to renters or owners looking for the “Nordic” feel it provides with its Scandanavian roots.
We look forward to seeing the construction progress and are confident the clients will enjoy the home for years!

Orchard House, Paonia CO
Orchard House, Paonia CO

Orchard House is situated in a working 15-acre cherry orchard with breathtaking views to Mt. Gunnison. Orchard House was intentionally and carefully designed to create a marriage between Contemporary, Modern, and Farmhouse styles per the Client’s vision for the house. EVstudio provided architectural design and structural engineering services for this custom home.
Although the site was visited by one of our Principals, the design team did not need to physically visit the site to complete the design for this remote location (although they have been back to the site multiple times during and after construction). The home includes unique client-driven features such as a “cockpit kitchen” taking the form of a U-shaped island where the owner can prepare and cook most of a meal with little need to move around the kitchen.
In the primary suite, a soaking tub was designed and installed in line with the gorgeous mountain view and provides the sense that you are bathing in the orchard. Exposed Steel elements are featured throughout the home’s design, including a playful use of a solitary exterior column demarking the “public” area of the back patio from the “private” area of the primary suite. EVstudio’s experience in cutting-edge materials exterior of the home was partially clad in a concrete siding product that realistically presents the aesthetic of “board-formed concrete” for a modern appearance without the associated cost, installation difficulty, and thermal problems that would have been presented by using actual board-formed concrete. Using solar studies, a thin custom sunshade was designed for the Southeast corner to provide shade for the home’s art studio. A 15-foot cantilevered canopy extends over the rear patio exemplifying EVstudio’s ability to innovate and push materials to their aesthetic and functional limits.
As an update, the Owner had EVstudio complete a design for an addition to the home and remodeling of attic space and the garage during Fall, 2024 to accommodate visiting grandchildren. We are excited to see this addition come to fruition and will be updating this article with before/after imagery soon!

Fairway House
Fairway House

This contemporary style house is under construction in the greater Denver area, overlooking a golf course. The house sits 75 feet above the course on a sloped site. The owners, avid golfers, incorporated unique features like a separate golf cart garage with a dedicated cart path and space for an indoor golf simulator. The club house is a short walk away, offering access to a pool, restaurant, and tennis courts. The close proximity to the club suits the owners’ active lifestyles.


The design emphasizes entertaining. The main level includes a gourmet kitchen, and the lower level features a wet bar for large indoor parties. Outdoors, there are large covered and uncovered decks, heated dining, a fire table, a pass-through window with bar seating, and a hot tub.
Since the owners plan to retire here, the design includes future accessibility upgrades. These include removable floor framing and space for an elevator installation.

Northside Buena Vista
Northside Buena Vista

Located just south of downtown Buena Vista and east of Hwy 20, this 1.15-acre site is designed for 14 single-family narrow lot homes (25’x125’ sites), offering an efficient and sustainable housing solution. Each middle lot features homes with a consistent 18.5-foot width, while larger homes grace the corners of the block, adding variety and architectural interest to the streetscape. The homes are market-rate but emphasize energy-efficient design, integrating modern technologies and features that reduce energy consumption and enhance comfort for residents.
The project’s goal was to create a fun, dynamic streetscape that celebrates material and color diversity on the exteriors, while maintaining energy efficiency through similar floor plans. With construction approximately 50% completed, the development is already showcasing its ability to deliver stylish, energy-efficient homes that provide long-term savings for homeowners. This design approach demonstrates how thoughtful planning and sustainable building practices can create attractive, vibrant neighborhoods that stand out for both their aesthetic appeal and environmental responsibility.
