Current TAB Project: Chen 3 Timber Springs Residence

TAB Associates is proud to be working with Andy Schifanelli of Andy Schifanelli Enterprises, Inc., a General Contractor, and Tracie Schumacher of Studio 80 to present the beautiful home design, Chen 3 Timber Springs Residence.

This project is all about open spaces, with the upper level overlooking the entryway and great room, and entry itself overlooking the great room. For more open space, we’ve used a 20-foot wide Wieland door (fully pocketing), opening onto the patio, just off the grass play field. The outdoor patio faces south for optimal winter warmth, with an alternative of radiant heaters in case the cold becomes too much.

This 8,000 square foot home design project factors in the importance of privacy for the whole family, including the four bedrooms being tucked away upstairs, making them quiet, safe havens even when there is noise coming from the great room.

None of the square footage goes to waste, with beds for 18 occupants, a private office, and a study/classroom for summer school, and an unfinished basement for a future theater or free space. This project also includes parking for four golf cart sized toys.

TAB Planning Project: The Ocean Club at Flamingo Bay

Here at TAB Associates, we have a great enthusiasm for architecture planning services, and we feel it shows in one of our past projects, The Ocean Club at Flamingo Bay in Costa Rica. This is one of our master planning projects, and we are proud to be on lead design. We have teamed up with Ossenbach, Pendones & Bonilla S.A. for construction administration, documentation, and further development.

The club, once completed, will have 300,000 square feet of luxury living and vacationing, with 126 condos and villas, infinity edge pools, cabanas, a clubhouse, and ample dual-level parking, leaving many vacationers reluctant to leave. Comfort and beauty are tantamount elements for this project, but the efficient use of space has not been neglected.

The floor plans — two bedrooms and four bedrooms — all include a study, and are designed to maximize comfort and privacy. Additionally, they are practical, with en suite bath for each bedroom.

When it comes to architecture planning services, here at TAB Associates, we enjoy working with the surrounding local landscape to build incredible structures that fit in with the scenery yet stand out for their true merits in design and construction.

Major Architectural Trends for 2013

Architectural trends are a helpful tool for getting the lay of the land in your industry. Because, what could be as helpful as the creative point of view of others who share your passion? And in 2013, there are many architectural trends that will be prominent in this new year.

One area busy homeowners and business owners share is the need for quality construction with low maintenance materials. Durability in the materials used is a vital element in low maintenance architecture as it decreases the frequency of replacing, repairing, and upgrading the structure.

With the housing market the way it is, not many people are looking to sell their homes and buy new ones in 2013. This is where home extensions come into play. Extensions and conversions can not only add versatility to homes and accommodate growing families, but they also increase the home’s value.

Vintage architecture has its place in the modern world. It is a link to the past, a part of history, and adds an element of continuity to a neighborhood. Preserving these structures will be a positive issue going forward in 2013.

In Colorado, TAB Associates, Inc. stays current on what’s new in styles, design, and durable materials to provide a plan of action that reflects a client’s individual vision.
