So you have the feel of an urban environment but can \n quickly detach from that and be in a pastoral river frontage. So these duplexes have obligations to satisfy \n both the character of a river home as well as an urban setting.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.210586,"width":0.822043,"height":0.07248500000000002}},{"text":"We do a lot of work in the mountains and resort communities but also in authentic communities – not \n just Vail and Aspen but places that grew up out of a heritage and rustic culture that’s embedded in this \n place. What is attractive about Steamboat in many ways to me is that rustic character in that things feel \n worn and they age graceful, and it’s not too precious. The buildings here and the spirit of downtown is \n very much celebrating an active lifestyle. This idea of refined is to me emerging, but I really embrace \n that kind of rustic character that you all have.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.297707,"width":0.806883,"height":0.107371}},{"text":"Architecture downtown I think is rich and vibrant and walkable and pedestrian. Tectonically, it’s diverse \n with wood and stone/masonry buildings. The new buildings are still reflective of history maybe a bit \n reinterpreted, but they still have that walkable scale and pedestrian focus. But there are anomalies with \n buildings that are eclectic and forward-looking in this community. There’s a lot of rehab and \n construction downtown. The Olympian has more of a mountain heritage with timber and glass and starts \n to be more grand and open to the views. The fire station is being embraced and built upon and \n celebrated, as well as some of the more residential and transition scale as you move closer to the river \n frontage with both the material palates and forms and composition of form. I think it’s neat to think of \n what the emerging character of downtown Steamboat is.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.419715,"width":0.821142,"height":0.15963100000000002}},{"text":"Looking at more of the mass and scale, the buildings along Lincoln are bigger and more urban, and the \n character of buildings along Yampa start to break down and become more residential and scattered with \n the green spaces and river views coming through. In the overall Riverview PUD there was a lot of \n conversation about creating public access along 5th and 4th to the river frontage. That was something we \n used as a launch point when we started thinking about duplex designs was could we create an \n architecture that also started to break apart with six duplexes and a total of twelve residences versus a \n single multi-family type of thing that would group those together. Could we create these view corridors \n and start to bring the greenscape up and through the buildings to activate the loop road and give visual \n access through the site much like you were doing with the PUD requirements of public access along the \n edges.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.593982,"width":0.814804,"height":0.177068}},{"text":"The loop road has an urban character, and it is public access so people will be traversing back and forth. \n The character of the site and the landscape from street trees and the things that are within city standards \n of the intervals, plantings and snow storage exists along that. But as one moves from the loop road to the \n river frontage, the landscape transitions from a more structured area to a more organic and wild with the \n cottonwoods and willows all the way to the Yampa and aspens and transitioning landscapes and these","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.785687,"width":0.82155,"height":0.08990900000000002}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
