Calcaire - Build / April 11, 2016 by Anna Slowey

This last week brought exciting updates as the massive steel bent is lifted up and over into place at Calcaire to begin the formation of the gable end at the main entry. Only one more steel delivery until we can finish roofing the entire structure and really begin to visualize the scale and height of these grand gable spaces.

We introduced the ground breaking of our residential project Calcaire on the blog back in November along with renderings and videos of the fascinating process of relocating behemoth trees. We're on site this week with framing updates and the anticipation of all of our steel arriving on three trucks over the course of March. The lack of framing sure is deceiving ...the remainder of the house envelope is glass and steel!

Calcaire - Breaking Ground / November 17, 2015 by Anna Slowey

We're breaking ground on a new residential project in Boulder and our builder sent us some amazing aerial shots of excavation. Scroll down for the time-lapse video of when trees sprout legs and settle down for a better view. For more glimpses of this project, check out Calcaire on our main site.
