Town of Vail Design Review Board,
Cimex Invest, Inc., owner of 165 Forest Rd, Vail, CO 81657 (Vail Village Filing 1, Block 7, Lot 29) proposes to tear down the existing structure in order to build a new single family home that
has been designed with modern characteristics and a natural material pallet. The roofs consist of flat roofs with a cement tile / ballast system and shed roofs with a custom dark brown pre-finished
sheet metal standing seam roof. There are few overhangs and the siding material typically runs to the top of the parapet at the flat roof forms. Where there are overhangs the fascia consists of a
PFSM or Zinc panel fascia. Exposed steel beams and framing add to the modern form and massing. The building siding materials are a balanced mix of a linear stone veneer, stucco, cement
board siding, and PFSM and Zinc panels. Steel handrails are proposed at the waterproof decks in order to create as much transparency as possible. The handrails will be painted to match the
window color. The driveway will be heated large format paver.
Sincerely,
Hans Berglund
