Task Assigned

Uppteam's architectural team provided design and documentation support for the renovation of a residential unit in Vail, Colorado. The project focused on updating the layout and finishes while maintaining the home's architectural character and complying with local building codes. The team created detailed drawings that emphasized modern features, space efficiency, and improved functionality and aesthetics.

Project Timeline

  • Phase 1 - Existing Condition Assessment: Thoroughly studies the on-site assessment to document current structural and architectural conditions.

Additional Notes

Coordination with contractors during documentation ensured constructability and adherence to the renovation timeline.
  • The renovation transformed the living space into a refreshed and functional environment that maintains visual cohesion. It blends contemporary details with the home’s original charm.
