ABOUT US
Join our community in Buena Vista, Colorado
BV Basecamp is a modern housing option designed for simple, comfortable living in Buena Vista. Each private container home is bright and thoughtfully laid out, with large windows, built-in storage, and just the right amount of space to feel like your own. Pricing is comparable to sharing a place, but you’ll have your own space.
The property also includes shared areas to connect with others, along with on-site offices featuring incredible south-facing views of the Collegiate Peaks. The original home on the property still stands and is occasionally available as a short-term rental.
Flexible lease terms are available, and we recommend checking back for the latest openings.
OUR DEVELOPMENT APPROACH
Focusing on Sustainability, Beauty and Purpose
Walkability, Infrastructure, Cost
Unimproved Land:
The most efficient sites are those without existing structures. Avoiding costly demolition allows more of the budget to go toward quality housing rather than site prep.
Cost Efficiency:
Building attainable housing requires thoughtful cost control at every level. To reach pricing at 80% of AMI in Chaffee County, land costs must stay at or below $35,000 per unit—making site selection a critical part of the solution.
Walkability:
Located within a ten-minute walk of everyday essentials, making it easy to live, work, and move through Buena Vista without relying on a car.Infill Infrastructure:
By building on sites with existing utilities already in place, we’re able to reduce costs, streamline construction, and make smarter use of land.
Community, Flow, Flexibility
Community:
Shared spaces are intentionally woven into the layout to create opportunities for connection, while still maintaining a sense of privacy for residents.
Flow & Access:
The site is designed for easy, intuitive movement—making it simple to navigate, whether you’re coming home, hosting guests, or moving through shared spaces.
Parking & Storage:
Ample parking is provided for both residents and guests, along with secure storage for outdoor gear—so skis, bikes, and adventure equipment have a place of their own.
Flexible Living:
Spaces are designed with adaptability in mind, allowing for future needs like work-from-home setups or additional shared uses as lifestyles evolve.
Materials, Efficiency, Resilience
Reclaimed Materials:
Our building approach prioritizes recycled content at every level—from the repurposed structural shell of the shipping containers to 80% recycled decking and innovative recycled tile products developed in Colorado.
Energy Efficiency:
Energy consumption is minimized through the use of high-density insulation, LED lighting, high-efficiency appliances, and ultra-high-efficiency heating and cooling systems.
Solar + Backup Power:
Solar power with battery backup is used to offset energy consumption and provide electrical continuity in the event of temporary utility outages.
Water Efficiency:
Water use is reduced through thoughtful selection of water-efficient appliances and xeriscaping, supporting long-term sustainability in a high-desert environment.
Repeatable, scalable building designed for quality and efficiency
Minimized Site Work:
Projects are designed to reduce on-site disruption by streamlining foundations, utilities, and landscaping—making the build process more efficient from the ground up.
Factory-Built Units:
Eco-units are fabricated in a controlled factory setting, allowing for greater consistency, higher quality, and a more scalable construction process.
Efficient Site Deployment:
Ample parking is provided for both residents and guests, along with secure storage for outdoor gear—so skis, bikes, and adventure equipment have a place of their own.
Certified & Prefabricated:
All units meet IRC/IBC code requirements and are modular certified. External components, including decking and structural elements, are prefabricated to ensure precision and efficiency.
Make It All Count
Intentional Design:
Every detail is thoughtfully considered to create a space that feels calm, functional, and well-designed—proving that smaller footprints can still feel elevated.Maximized Space:
