The Gauge Apartments
The Gauge Apartments
The Gauge Modular Apartments in Durango Colorado showcase an innovative housing solution that combines sustainability, affordability, and modular construction. This project addresses Durango’s housing shortage by providing quality, eco-friendly living spaces while keeping costs manageable for residents. The apartments use of modular construction methods allowed faster build times and reduced labor, passing additional cost savings to the developer and the residents alike.
Each modular unit is prefabricated offsite by Guerdon Modular Buildings, undergoing strict quality checks that ensure durable construction and minimal waste. Once transported to Durango, these units were assembled by the General Contractor, FCI Constructors. This process aligns with the project’s sustainability goals, as modular construction significantly reduces waste and lowers environmental impact.
The Gauge Apartments offer a range of layouts to meet different needs, each designed with comfort and energy efficiency in mind. These units feature open floor plans, energy-efficient appliances, and superior insulation, leading to lower utility bills. By focusing on modular methods, the project maximizes efficiency and value for future tenants. By using offsite construction, this project also substantially reduces embodied carbon.
Community integration plays a key role in the project’s design. Shared outdoor spaces and landscaped green areas foster social interaction and enhance Durango’s natural beauty. The apartments blend harmoniously with the landscape, making the complex an appealing addition to the area. The project location near a commercial activity zone in Durango allows residents easy access to neighborhood amenities.
Gauge Apartments represent a collaboration between developers, architects, and contractors. This project sets a benchmark for future developments, balancing affordability and sustainability in high-demand areas. Its innovative modular construction approach aligns with environmental responsibility while meeting the local need for accessible housing. This blend of efficiency, quality, and community focus makes Gauge Apartments a model for future housing solutions in Colorado.

Oakwood Homes Corporate Office
Oakwood Homes Corporate Office
It is always an immense pleasure when our production home clients request our services for their corporate offices and design centers in addition to their home designs. Such was the case with Oakwood Homes when they needed to renovate their mechanical and electrical systems in their corporate office located in Denver, Colorado. Our MEP engineering team worked hand-in-hand with Oakwood to address their space needs while introducing them to cost-saving sustainable features such as office LED lighting. Not only is their open workspace now more comfortable with upgraded HVAC systems, but their new lighting allows for a better work environment. This long-term partnership is a perfect illustration of how we can service a client through their entire business life-cycle, no matter their needs.

RedRock Pharmacy
RedRock Pharmacy
The RedRock Pharmacy project is a pharmaceutical office TI project in a Class B office building located in Parker, Colorado. While similar to other office TI projects, there are multiple factors our MEP team had to consider when designing the space for our client. Since the tenant was mixing their own pharmaceuticals, the rooms had to be designed for a Controlled Environment with HEPA filters incorporated into the HVAC design. The building itself also served as a unique factor in the MEP design. Prior to the tenant selection of the office space, contractors had demolished the office and profoundly damaged the electrical components of the building. Our team of experts not only provided a design to accommodate the tenant but also to correct the damage to the overall building infrastructure. With our extensive office and medical renovation experience, our MEP team adhered to the high standards that medical spaces require and quickly identified potential construction concerns saving our client time and money.

Teller Medical Office Building
Teller Medical Office Building
The Teller Medical Office Building is an innovative treatment center for those suffering from the effects of the opioid crisis in the Denver metro area. The project consists of 25,000 square feet of tenant improvement work in an existing three-story office building in Lakewood, Colorado.
Serving the segment of the population that has developed an opioid addiction from prescriptions for pain management for injuries or surgery, the three-story facility offers necessary services in one location: medical, physical therapy, and group counseling. To make appointments easier to accommodate for the users, space is also reserved for the family waiting. Imaging and ambulatory surgical services will be referred to dedicated facilities as needed, though imaging services may be incorporated in the future. For this project, our architecture and MEP engineering experts worked collaboratively to ensure this existing building meets all medical facility considerations while offering a comfortable and discreet place for patients to receive treatment.

University of Denver- Centennial Towers
University of Denver- Centennial Towers
Designing a space for a specific demographic can pose unique challenges. The University of Denver (DU) Centennial Towers were meant to be a place for brilliant minds to thrive, but these aging spaces needed an update. While the existing space had potential, the use of the main floor including common rooms, laundry facilities, and the Early Learning Center floor was out of date and no longer functioning as they once did. Before the renovation, the main floor was a sparsely populated space. Now the main floor is a hub of activity with students relaxing, studying, and meeting with friends.

Whether it is plumbing design for a new build or for a renovation, our team of mechanical and plumbing designers are well versed for any commercial or residential project type you may have.
A partnership with EVstudio brings your project to a new level.
- Communication. We start every project with a meeting with our clients to understand their needs and to set the client expectations for systems and budget. We keep our clients in the know with constant email and or phone contact.
- Structural Coordination. With our integrated and cooperative design teams, we use Revit and Navisworks to coordinate with the buildings structural systems to create a truly buildable project.
- Vendors. We have great relationships with many local vendors ( including, but not limited to Boyer Sales, RKR, Priest-Zimmerman, Shyne & Associates) that help our designs stay on track and budget.
- Civil Coordination. We work closely with the Civil team, whether in-house or out-of-house, to coordinate the gas, domestic water, and fire entry sizing and locations. When things change, as they tend to do, from the time Civil originally designs the system's locations to the time the building design is happening we make certain that all sizing and locations are coordinated and updated as necessary before the ground is broken on a project.
- Create the right choice of systems. Based on decades of combined experience, we optimize structural, mechanical and electrical systems for efficiency and functionality.
- Sustainable design options. Sustainability is a core strength and something we can prioritize when crafting your building designs.
