Common Area Remodel

Condominium Complex

Dillon Condominium Complex

A mountain condominium complex that was in need of an updated common area

Location

Dillon, CO

Summary

Interior lobby and corridor remodel, revitalizing outdated interior finishes with minimal structural impact.

Challenge

The client wanted to modernize common areas, specifically the lobby and corridors, without altering core structural components. Existing stamped concrete flooring, plaster wall murals, and dated beam work needed to be addressed in a way that preserved the building’s layout but elevated the design.

Solution

The DCPS team removed the stamped concrete lobby flooring and replaced it with commercial-grade, slip-resistant tile suitable for a high-traffic ski boot environment. The outdated plaster mural walls were replaced with smooth, level-4 skimmed drywall and fresh paint. All exposed beams and wood millwork were stained to reflect a “mountain-modern” design. The fireplace surround was rebuilt with dry-stacked stone and a new hearth. Light fixtures throughout the building were upgraded, and decorative accent walls were added to enhance visual appeal.

The project began with the containment of the entire interior to control dust and debris, particularly around the central demolition zone — the lobby. The DCPS team removed a 25-foot concrete waterfall and indoor river feature, then proceeded to chip and grind down the stamped concrete overlay throughout the main lobby.

Painting took place across five levels, including ceilings, walls, doors, and millwork. Rather than replacing wood finishes, all millwork was overstained with a tinted lacquer to achieve the desired updated look.

Once painting was complete, the DCPS team installed durable tile flooring in the lobby and rebuilt the fireplace facade using dry-stacked stone with a new hearth. The renovation was finished with the installation of updated sconces and the addition of bold accent wall paint in the lobby to complete the visual transformation.

The project delivered a visual upgrade with minimal structural disruption, resulting in a refreshed and modernized look that promotes durability while preserving the property’s mountain charm.
