Project overview
The Midland Residences is a modular multi-family residential development in Basalt, Colorado, featuring multiple prefabricated balcony configurations and architectural canopies manufactured by Vestis. Early involvement during the design phase allowed Vestis to collaborate with Shaw Construction, the Architect of Record, Engineer of Record, and modular manufacturer to coordinate structural requirements while preserving the project's architectural vision.
A key challenge involved integrating balcony knife plates within the modular framing system. Through proactive engineering support and close coordination across project partners, Vestis resolved complex connection details before fabrication, reducing field risk and supporting an efficient installation process. Responsive project management, dependable manufacturing, and on-time delivery helped ensure the project's successful execution from design through completion.

How Vestis delivered this project
See how our team collaborated with architects and contractors to solve project constraints, deliver engineered solutions, and complete installation successfully.
Early design coordination was critical for a complex modular construction project
The Midland Residences required multiple balcony configurations and canopies that had to integrate seamlessly with modular building assemblies. Because modular construction depends on precise coordination between structural framing, connection details, manufacturing, and installation, design decisions needed to be resolved well before fabrication began.
- Multiple balcony configurations across modular units
- Tight coordination between structural and architectural requirements
- Complex connection details within modular framing
- Need to avoid field conflicts and schedule delays
Coordinate structural integration while preserving the architectural vision
Vestis partnered with Shaw Construction and the broader design team to engineer balcony and canopy systems that satisfied structural requirements without compromising the project's architectural goals. The objective extended beyond fabrication—it required active collaboration to anticipate challenges before they reached the field.
- Coordinate balcony and canopy systems during design
- Integrate connection details with modular framing
- Support architects, engineers, and manufacturers throughout development
- Maintain project schedule through proactive coordination
Collaborative engineering and proactive project support from design through manufacturing
One of the project's most significant challenges involved integrating balcony knife plates within the module framing. Rather than waiting until installation, Vestis collaborated closely with Shaw Construction, the Architect of Record, Engineer of Record, and modular manufacturer to evaluate structural conditions, refine connection details, and develop a coordinated solution before fabrication. Throughout manufacturing and delivery, Vestis remained actively engaged—providing responsive design support, coordinating evolving project requirements, and ensuring reliable production and logistics.
- Resolved balcony knife plate integration during design
- Coordinated with architects, engineers, modular manufacturer, and GC
- Provided ongoing design and project management support
- Delivered balcony and canopy packages on schedule
A successful modular project built through early collaboration
Early engagement allowed the project team to resolve complex coordination challenges before construction, reducing field risk and protecting the project schedule. The Midland Residences demonstrates how Vestis contributes more than manufactured products—providing technical expertise, responsive project management, and collaborative engineering that help modular projects succeed from design through delivery.
- Structural challenges resolved before construction
- Architectural intent maintained throughout the project
- Reliable manufacturing and on-time delivery
