We knew we had a diamond in the rough, but what do you do with a ‘70’s barn like house falling apart
from inferior construction and 7.8% swelling soils?
What do you do with dynamite views of the entire Front Range but a floor plan that ignores them?
What do you do with a maze of traffic patterns and rooms too big or too small for function?
No ….. scraping it would have been too easy, and a lot more expensive!
Design a new two car garage, mud room and pantry closer to the kitchen as well as a second stair access
to the basement to improve the functionality of the home.
Within the existing footprint, new rooms were created to address different uses to include a
housekeeper/nanny apartment, two home offices, theater/media room, wine room and butler/serving for
entertaining in this home situated on a 2.5 acre lot with spectacular settings.
Created exterior (living space) and harmonize the landscaping with the new home. Use of a sand
and decorative paver system vs. conventional concrete for the driveway and patios help eliminate
problems caused by movement due to swelling soils.
Great design, state of the art technology, functionality, theme, Built Green features and a lot of
TLC have all merged to create this one of a kind custom remodel.
After the dust settled we knew that all our goals and then some had been met! Living space that
meets our client’s needs, and at the same time, highly re-saleable.
