 A – Denver, CO

Architect: David L. Berton, AIA – RealArchitecture

This modern house took advantage of a narrow vacant lot in the hottest neighborhood in Denver. The residence was designed from the ground up in conjunction with the client and homeowner, who were looking for contemporary style to go with present-day comfort.  

Every detail was considered: Handmade copper-art siding, elevator, a glass-enclosed wine cellar, a golf simulator room, custom stainless spa on the roof, tilt-and-turn windows, radiant flooring, and whole-house integrated control from a phone. RealArchitecture and UnRealConstruction worked with the client from land acquisition through move-in to create the house of his dreams!

This home was originally designed in 1968 by Charles Haertling, one of Colorado’s most talented architects. In 2013, RKD Architects and Elemental Homes were selected to complete the design and construction of a major renovation to bring this spectacular home up to todays higher standard of living. The renovation has preserved the original integrity of the home while adding a master bedroom suite, new cylindrical glass entry feature, and a small roof top pavilion where the owners will be able to enjoy a sunset over the mountains and city skyline.

A new residence on an infill lot in the established neighborhood of City Park West. A modern structure that respects the scale, rhythm, and proportions of the neighborhood, yet employs the latest in passive solar design techniques in it’s siting, construction, and mechanics. Light, color, tactile surfaces, and natural materials, all add to the human experience of the residence.

 D – Denver, CO

Architect: Tres Birds Workshop

LUMINA means light. Working with the sun as our main project collaborator, tres birds workshop designed this multi-unit, mixed-use development in Denver’s North Side neighborhood as our answer to living light and vital in dense times.

Natural sunlight is woven and prevalent throughout the building. The light core, created by a series of skylights helps illuminate the common areas and connects each unit to a natural light source from the interior. Unit dwellers have the ability to regulate temperature and light through the building’s envelope system, made up of 444 individual 6’x 6’ anodized aluminum screens. Inspired by symmetry patterns found in Middle Eastern art, the screens were 100% manufactured in Denver, Colorado.

Lumina uses the sun for energy in two ways, both passively and through the use of a PV solar system that helps reduce the need for electricity and reliance on fossil fuels. The vertical solar system innovates the traditional linear design by using solar panels to also create the wall system for the main stair tower, a move that consolidates and conserves building materials.

In an area of rapid transformation, density housing allows cities to build up instead of out to meet demands of increased populations, conserving surrounding open space and preventing urban sprawl. In order to minimize impact on the surrounding neighborhood, an underground parking structure was created. Previously the location of beloved Italian restaurant, Pacliacci’s, when the owners sold the plot, it was important to mark and honor the site’s history. The restaurant was well-decorated with signature neon signs– each was repaired and reincorporated into the new building.

Ultimately Lumina is a project that represents an exploration in creative housing solutions for complex development problems. How do we grow our cities sustainably? How do we meet the needs of multiple stakeholders? How do we create places for people to live that promote health, wellness and vitality?

Interior Designer: Jonathan Biermann – Neoteric Décor LLC

This home is a 3 bedroom, 2 and a half baths with an attached 2 car garage and small side courtyard. The home is located in one of Denver’s newest communities called Midtown. 

Midtown is the largest development of new homes in Denver in over 40 years, it’s a 184 acre new urban community that is still in process of being built. All of the homes in Midtown are extremely energy efficient and have both modern and contemporary finishes. Within the next year the community will be connected by walking and biking trails and the new Gold Line will open a light rail station approximately a quarter of a mile away later this fall. This home was designed by Neoteric Décor LLC with a mixture of mid-century modern and new modern furnishings.

G – Denver, CO

Architect: Aaron Hodgin – Hodgin Architecture

The High street residence is a new structure located in central Denver. It was designed to fit on a long, narrow urban lot and attempts to develop an open living floor plan and bring natural light to the central core where the kitchen and stair are located. There is an immense window opening at the stair that provides a translucent flood of light to the stair and central core and yet maintains privacy for the home. Given the narrow lot, we had just enough space to provide a sizable kitchen with an island with bar seating while maintaining the open flow through the kitchen without breaking up the space. I also developed the front living room and the upstairs front master bedroom suite to capitalize on views to the southwest. There are three sizable bedrooms upstairs with attached bathrooms and wonderful natural light. The Master suite has large closet space and a large bathroom with a walk-in shower. The home design provides an inset entry protected from the weather and also provides a mudroom entry to store coats and boots. The design has large sliding doors at the rear which open onto a small covered patio and intimate garden space which includes a detached garage. The home design provides open, airy spaces filled with natural light and connections to the exterior garden spaces all on a challenging narrow site in central Denver.
