Projects
Harmony Design and Engineering works on a wide variety of projects for private, municipal, professional, and federal clients. An example of some of our civil engineering, land planning, water resource consulting, and structural engineering projects include:
Teton Valley Community School - Victor, Idaho
The Teton Valley Community School (TVCS) is a non-profit independent school located in Victor, Idaho. The existing school campus is approximately 2-acres in size and includes two buildings, a barn, a storage shed, a yurt, and outdoor play and garden spaces. The proposed school campus master plan, which includes an international award winning design, includes five additional classroom buildings, parking areas and the relocation of the existing barn and chicken coop. The classrooms are approximately 1150-sf in size and the estimated construction budget is $330,000 per classroom. Harmony Design and Engineering is completing the civil engineering, structural engineering, and LEED consulting for this community oriented project.
Red Barn – Driggs, Idaho
Red Barn is a residential development located on 80-acres within the town of Driggs, Idaho. Red Barn's focus is environmental sustainability, social responsibility, diversity, safety, and the creation of a healthy and friendly neighborhood. Harmony Design & Engineering is the land planner and civil engineer for this traditional neighborhood development. Red Barn features a range of residential lots at a variety of price points as well as commercial, live-work opportunities. The neighborhood was designed so each lot retained solar access throughout the year. The project includes a 5-acre community park that provides public access to the scenic Teton Creek as well as stormwater retention and floodplain protection. A LOMR was filed and approved by FEMA for this property and Red Barn is in the preliminary planning stages.
“I adamantly believe Harmony Design’s participation with Red Barn has been the cornerstone of its success.” - Gabe Rogel, Developer of Red Barn
Hydrology, Hydraulic & Floodplain Mapping – Mitchell County, Iowa
This project provided updated flood hazard data to help the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the local, regional, and state agencies deal with existing and increased flood hazards caused by the 2008 floods in Iowa. Flood Recovery Maps in digital GIS format with accompanying reports were produced for sixteen Iowa counties. This project had a very short time-line and Harmony Design & Engineering worked closely with a large project team headed by URS Corporation to get the project finished on time and within budget. Harmony Design & Engineering analyzed and processed topographic data, conducted hydrologic analysis using ArcHydro, conducted hydraulic analysis using HEC-RAS and HEC-GeoRAS, and produced flood hazard delineations for 469 stream miles in Mitchell County. All data produced met FEMA Data Capture Standards and FEMA’s Guidance and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners.
Teton Basin Ice & Recreation – Victor, Idaho
Harmony Design & Engineering collaborated with the City of Victor, the Victor community, and the Teton Basin Ice & Recreation (TBIR) non-profit organization to develop a site plan for this ice arena and multi-use facility located in Victor, Idaho. Community input was gathered through a series of design charrettes held over a one week period. This facility will provide recreation opportunities for community members during all seasons in Teton Valley. Click here to read more about this facility.
"Thanks to Harmony Design [& Engineering] for their gracious and excellent work"
- Ari Kotler, Executive Director of TBIR
100 North Eco-Park - Driggs, ID
100 North Eco-Park is a mixed-use, light industrial, and residential project on approximately 67-acres near the existing airport in Driggs, Idaho. Harmony Design & Engineering is the land planner, civil engineer, and LEED consultant for this project. We facilitated a neighborhood meeting to gather input which was used in the design of the development which integrates green building, smart growth, and traditional neighborhood design principles. 100 North Eco-Park was a LEED-ND pilot project and is striving for silver certification under the post-pilot LEED-ND program.
Weinbrandt-Helm Residence – Alta, Wyoming
The Weinbrandt-Helm Residence is a unique custom home located in Alta, Wyoming. The sod roof is framed with structural insulated panels on curved glulams, and the interior is irregular and open both vertically and horizontally, providing expansive views of the Tetons to the west. The upstairs south wall has large windows to accommodate passive solar heating requirements. Harmony Design & Engineering completed the structural engineering for this project which was a featured project for Visual Analysis.

Trail Creek Crossing – Victor, Idaho
Trail Creek Crossing is a 6-acre mixed-use development designed with a refined, rustic feel. Harmony Design & Engineering completed a hydraulic analysis of Trail Creek, mapped the Trail Creek floodplain, designed a low-impact stormwater system for the site, designed low-water landscape plans, and assisted with the Master Development Plan for the entire neighborhood. Alternative transportation was a priority for the Master Plan and residents of the community will have walking access to commercial businesses in the development and downtown Victor. Trail Creek Crossing is in the construction phase.
“The availability and timely responses of Harmony Design & Engineering for our projects has allowed our projects to move ahead smoothly, on budget, and without difficulty… Most importantly, Harmony Design & Engineering are Team Players, demonstrating an ability to coordinate with other Design Professionals and do what is necessary to get the job done.” - Meagan Hill, Development Manager, Teton Land + Development Group, LLC, developer of Trail Creek Crossing
Redtail PUD – Driggs, Idaho
The Redtail PUD is a 105-acre residential development which was designed using conservation development principles. The property includes approximately 1 mile of Teton Creek and Harmony Design & Engineering was instrumental in designing and planning the development so that wetland areas, existing vegetation, riparian habitat and floodplain functions were preserved. A detailed site analysis was conducted for this project and a LOMR was filed and approved by FEMA for the property. All of the cabins built in Redtail are LEED-H certified.
Well 5 Solar Array - Jackson, Wyoming
Harmony Design & Engineering is working with Creative Energies on the Well 5 Solar Panels Project in Jackson, Wyoming. The Town will be installing Solar Electric Photovoltaic panels in the area of Well #5 located within the Karns Meadow. Harmony Design & Engineering is providing structural design for the foundation of this 24.89 kW array.
