Pinon Park is a successful single-family affordable housing project completed in partnership with Rural Homes, built by Stryker Homes with Modular units from Fading West. Located in Norwood, Colorado – a picturesque town nestled amidst breathtaking natural beauty, known for its strong community spirit and access to incredible outdoor recreation. Yet, like many desirable areas across Colorado and the United States, Norwood has faced a growing challenge: an acute shortage of affordable housing. This scarcity has made it increasingly difficult for the very professionals who keep the town running – the dedicated teachers, essential healthcare workers, first responders, and small business owners – to afford to live where they work. That’s why we are incredibly proud to have partnered with Rural Homes to deliver a vital and transformative solution: a new affordable housing development right here in Norwood. This project isn’t just about constructing buildings; it’s about investing in the heart of a community and empowering its workforce.
The development features 26 thoughtfully designed single-family homes, each approximately 1200 square feet. Our architectural team focused on creating open, inviting, and highly functional layouts that maximize space and natural light. We incorporated design elements that complement Norwood’s natural aesthetic, blending modern comfort with a respect for the local environment. Special attention was paid to creating durable, low-maintenance exteriors suitable for Colorado’s climate, ensuring these homes will serve residents for decades to come. From the robust structural integrity engineered to withstand local conditions, to the carefully optimized mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems designed for efficiency and comfort, every technical detail was considered. Our MEP team ensured that each home is equipped with reliable, energy-conscious systems, contributing to lower utility costs for residents – a crucial factor in affordable living.
