PRAIRIE STYLE

Prairie Style Home — Cherry Hills, Colorado
The design of this Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home in Cherry Hills, Colorado was developed around a central courtyard garden that is the focus from almost every room. The boundaries of the courtyard are defined on three sides by the transparent walls of the homes main living spaces and by a mature stand of existing evergreen and deciduous trees to the south. This home’s clean horizontal lines, deep roof overhangs, and orientation around outdoor living spaces make it ideally suited for its site as well as the Colorado climate.*

 


   

MODERN OASIS

Modern Oasis — Denver, Colorado
The design of this contemporary home located in Denver, Colorado is oriented around a garden court yard and has a strong horizontal orientation, deep roof overhangs, and floor to ceiling glazing that blurs the line between inside and outside. The massiveness of the Texas Cream limestone walls and the slate roof is contrasted by a horizontal band of clerestory glazing which creates a transparent separation between the two.

This home is defined as much by its use of rich materials as it is by its design style. The stone used on the exterior is carried through on the interior as well, further supporting the indoor-outdoor theme. Also, the clear, vertical grain Douglas fir used in the window frames also clads interior and exterior ceilings and exterior soffits.*

 


   

TUSCAN HILLTOWN

Tuscan Hilltown House — Golden, Colorado

The design also includes a three story Tuscan tower that includes a 360 degree view of the area with down town Denver as its primary focus.

The main entry sequence, which includes a walk through an intimate, sheltered courtyard and an arched colonnade front porch offers a distinct old world flavor. This rustic theme is further supported on the interior by barrel vaulted gallery spaces, plaster walls, reclaimed wood plank floors, and exposed timber ceilings.*
