Homes Under Construction

Construction season started with a bang here in the Roaring Fork Valley.  Confluence Architecture currently has 5 homes we designed under construction.  A record for us.  We  are working with a range of clients from owner builders to spec builders.  Here are highlights from recent site visits:

Marble Distilling Company Design Wins Award

Marble Distilling Company

 

 

 

 

 

 

USGBC Colorado honored the Marble Distilling Company design for its exceptional implementation of sustainable technologies with a 2015 Commercial Real Estate Award.  The distillery’s integrated systems approach utilizes the heat from the distilling process to heat the distillery, tasting room and Inn as well as recaptures that heat and water for utilization in the distilling process and for domestic use.  With these measures, the building is 85 percent more efficient than local code requires.  Confluence Architecture is honored to be part of a great team that made this possible.  Congratulations to Marble Distilling Company, Energy and Sustainable Design and the whole team! Read more here.

July 2015 has been the busiest summer ever for Confluence Architecture in our fifteen years of operation. We have two additions and four new homes presently under construction- plus three more homes to break ground soon. Not to mention a healthy dose of inspections, commissioning, HERS ratings and blower door tests. The projects below are; crane in Arrowhead Village Edwards, concrete pumper truck between Redstone & Carbondale, near Sunlight Ski Resort Glenwood Springs, Elk Springs near Glenwood Springs, Marble Colorado and one for an old friend in Arkansas.

Carbondale’s newest hotspot, the Marble Distilling Company, is now open for business. Confluence Architecture was there to participate in the First Friday festivities last week. The tasting room was transformed into a club like atmosphere for the grand opening as craft spirits were enjoyed by many of Carbondale’s population adding to the vibrancy of the space and helping to define what makes Carbondale such an attractive place to live and work.
