In 2006, JKA was retained to provide hi-end
residential consulting services for this proposed luxury
mixed-use development at the foot of the Mountain Village gondola
in Telluride, Colorado. The Silverline project was
to break new ground for luxury development in the Rocky Mountains
for embracing a modern style throughout and for the kinds of units
and level of amenity that would have been offered.
Several schemes were developed, some more ambitious than others.
The scheme shown here would have included 370,000 built square feet
including 170,000 square feet of residential units centered around this plaza
shared by the town gondola stations. 45,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space
would have also fronted on this plaza, and a 100,000 square foot parking garage
was to be hidden below the complex.
Mr. Koster's expertise with luxury multi-family residential development
was well-known and made him central to the planning and detailing of
the residential spaces and many aspects of the exteriors.
He also consulted on the general level of finish and amenity throughout the project.
