Developed for Breckenridge Grand Vacations, the structure is engineered to maximize a 1.4-acre site while meeting the rigorous demands of a premier ski resort destination. The project encompasses a total of 36,000 square feet of conditioned space. The structural layout supports 40 individual units, featuring a strategic mix of studio and one-bedroom floor plans. The building frame is designed to accommodate ample resident storage and in-building amenities, essential for a workforce-centric lifestyle.
The Buckhorn Valley Community is one of the largest residential master-planned subdivisions in Colorado’s lower Vail Valley, spanning approximately 368 acres between the towns of Eagle and Gypsum. Conceptualized to eventually house over 900 homes, the development is strategically located south of the Eagle County Regional Airport and provides a critical supply of attainable housing for families and professionals in the region. As of late 2024, nearly 460 lots have been developed across various phases, featuring a mix of single-family residences and duplexes.
The community’s structural and architectural identity is defined by its extensive use of modular construction in partnership with providers like Northstar Systembuilt, a method chosen to accelerate delivery timelines in the high-alpine environment while maintaining high quality standards.
1200 Capitol Street is a specialized mixed-use development comprising approximately 13,000 square feet of conditioned space. The three-story building is engineered to support a high-density program that includes 16 residential units—a mix of eight studio and eight two-bedroom apartments—anchored by nearly 1,200 square feet of commercial and office space on the ground level. The structural framework utilizes a hybrid “mixed building type” approach to maximize efficiency and speed of construction. A steel superstructure provides the primary vertical and lateral load-bearing system, while the housing units themselves are engineered as modular units designed to be stacked in place.
Jirsa Hedrick has assisted in the design of several single family residences that are partially modular in several mountain towns including Eagle and Minturn. By providing a hybrid site built – modular system the contractor is able to accelerate construction timelines. Jirsa Hedrick provided foundation design, and in some cases design of a stick framed lower level, with modular units and roofs designed by a modular supplier.
