Nestled along the bank of the Cache la Poudre River in Old Town Fort Collins, this Colorado mountain modern home with its exterior blend of natural materials – stucco, locally sourced stone, and heavy timbers – feels warm and inviting even from the curb.
The home was designed to be extremely energy efficient, maximizing the use of a roof-mounted photovoltaic system and in-floor radiant heat. Tile floors help to conduct the heat and give the home a consistent warmth in the winter while at the same time functioning to keep it cooler in summer.
The owners love their outdoor living spaces, and this home has plenty. A three-season sunroom with radiant heat under the slate tile floors was a must, providing large windows from which to enjoy the views of the river practically year-round. The upstairs deck features a barrel roof with tongue and groove cedar that frames the view of the river and mountains to the west. Below, the large patio seamlessly transitions from outdoors to in with no steps to get in the way of the flow.
Efficiency carried through to the outdoors through a detailed, waterwise landscape plan. We helped facilitate the design and installation of the xeriscape landscaping that included a cozy firepit for cooler weather and native plantings of all shapes and sizes.
The interior uses smaller spaces in the Not-So-Big-House style that makes the home feel warm and cozy. Focal points on the main floor include the fireplace faced with locally sourced stone and the open stair system with custom railings and treads from local reclaimed urban Siberian elms. Cork wallpaper adds sound and heat insulation while creating a warm aesthetic and visual connection to the outdoors.

The full remodel on this dated, worn 1960s brick ranch brought it back to its midcentury modern glory with a 21st-century twist.
We stripped the walls to the studs and raised the roof over the kitchen, living room, and dining room, which made the home feel so much bigger and brighter on the inside. The new roof featured glulam beams and a tongue and groove ceiling that ran from the inside out, giving the main living area the quintessential mid-century feel.
At the other end of the home, we reconfigured the bedrooms and bathrooms and added a master retreat off the back. The addition of a third, tandem bay to the back of the garage on the opposite end gave the home a U-shape that perfectly framed the new in-ground pool and patio area.
Since we couldn’t raise the roof in the basement, we expanded the windows and added concrete and wood timber window wells with egress windows to bring in light and the feeling of volume.
Our homeowner had ideas for the bold pops of color and other aesthetic touches both inside and outside the home. Our design team worked with her to incorporate her ideas into the overall plan and bring them to life.

Ten years ago, we opened up the floor plan and remodeled the kitchen of this 1970s ranch. But that project didn’t do much to make the most of the property and capture the amazing lake views. This time around, though, that was our mission.
An addition to the lake side of the house bumped out the living room. The huge windows and vaulted ceilings with rich wood beams and beetle kill tongue-and-grove now give the previously cramped room plenty of volume.
Decks grace both sides of the addition, each with an overhead trellis that extends from the roofline. Party lighting and a custom steel mesh rusted railing system that provides views through to the lake top off the project.
Although the additional square footage wasn’t substantial, it made a huge impact. From the inside, the home seems twice the size as it did before, and now the lake is now perfectly in view.

Our homeowners went in search of their forever home and were lucky enough to find it hiding within the walls of the home they already owned.
We started the remodel by gutting the home to the studs, then we replaced all the windows and doors and added an expansive deck with living room space both on the upper and lower floors. Brazilian cherry and marble give the previously outdated living room an element of sophistication, and the cable railing on the stairs to the second floor keeps the room open and the stairs light.
Custom lighting and woodwork on the dining room ceiling is both fashionable and functional; it gives the room plenty of light without feeling overwhelming. In the kitchen, the white cabinets keep the room bright while the dark cabinets under the island, which echo the built-in buffet in the dining room, add a touch of contrasting interest.
Upstairs, we reconfigured rooms to allow us to add volume to the master suite. The bedroom received a beam and shiplap ceiling finished in white, plus a modern fireplace to keep things cozy. The Japanese soaking tub and large walk-in shower give the master bath the spa-like feel the owners were looking for.

This home takes “lakefront” to a whole new level. After constructing a mile-long driveway to reach the building site, we built the home at the tip of a spire that extends to the middle of a lake, creating a lakeview on three sides.
The majority of the home is floor-to-ceiling glass supported by a steel super structure. The glass provides a clear view of the Douglas Fir tongue-and-groove ceiling that extends seamlessly from inside out. This ceiling, supported by a roof structure that is an asymmetric hyperbolic paraboloid – translated to an undulating roof with rolling wall heights – required meticulous detailing to line up the planks on both sides of the glass.
The home is broken into two wings connected by a glass bridge. The main wing includes the main living areas, music room, his and hers offices with built-in slab work areas, and comfortable guest bedrooms. A wraparound deck takes advantage of the lake views and includes an integrated barbecue and planters built into the railing supports.
The second wing houses the master retreat with its own deck, hot tub, and Scandinavian-inspired fireplace. The open concept shower and vanity island keeps the bath open and airy – with only lake birds for neighbors, privacy isn’t a concern.

This welcoming home features warm, locally sourced stone that wraps around the exterior, then carries through the front door and accents the main floor of the home. Heavy glulam timber beams both inside and out give the home substance without weighing it down. Once inside, they help draw a visitor’s eye to the large windows that frame mountain views.
The sommelier homeowner had ideas for specific design touches such as the wine dispenser in the kitchen and secret bottle storage in the stairs made to keep expensive bottles secure in a controlled environment. We also added hand-crafted details including handmade tile in the kitchen from the homeowners’ native Ohio, a built-in breakfast nook to accommodate a hungry crowd, and custom cabinetry and furnishings for the owner’s model trains.
Other comforts and conveniences built into this home include the expansive master closet with built-in storage, Japanese soaker tub in the master suite, in-floor radiant heat, library ladder in the butler’s pantry to make reaching the top shelves easy, office with a built-in granite work surface, and an outdoor shower for a convenient rinse-off after a soak in the hot tub.
The homeowners enjoy spending time outside, so outdoor spaces abound. Multiple decks and patios provide comfortable spaces for entertaining or simply relaxing while enjoying the sunset over the mountains.

The best way to describe the exterior of this home is rustic-farmhouse-meets-prairie-style, a meetup of traditional character and the horizontal lines Frank Lloyd Wright made famous.
The locally sourced stone extends from the outside in through the front door to the entryway, setting the stage for a variety of natural and industrial materials that accent the interior. These include the metal fireplace surround, metal railing surrounding the three-story open stairwell and upstairs catwalk, and metal range hood custom forged by the local craftsmen at Raw Urth.
The home overlooks a golf course, and the home’s three-tiered deck takes advantage of every opportunity to capture a great view. The main floor’s multi-slide door fully opens to the deck to create an easy flow to the outdoors and welcoming landscape.

This beautiful 1875 home in Louisville, CO had suffered from years of poor remodels and deferred maintenance. It was time to bring it back to its full glory.
We started by taking the home down to the original studs and adding a new, level flooring system, since part of the floor had no foundation and was sitting directly on dirt. On the exterior, we carefully took down the original siding scallops one at a time. We removed nearly 150 years of paint from each one, then reinstalled them.
We also salvaged and reinstalled the original leaded glass windows. The result is a refreshed version of the historic Victorian home on the outside with an updated feel and function on the inside.
The new interior features a three-sided fireplace to add warmth to the living, dining, and kitchen areas all at once. Built-in cabinets throughout the home provide plenty of storage. We also converted the small cellar into a finished basement for additional living space.
Outside, we added a deck off the back of the home with overhead slats that can be adjusted to let the sun in – or keep it out. The new detached two-story garage pulls double duty with studio space upstairs. And, of course, we finished off the home with a traditional white picket fence.

This 2,800 square foot three-bedroom, four-bath modern farmhouse is a beauty that Joanna Gaines would be proud of. Situated in a hide-away neighborhood in Old Town Fort Collins, the two stories offer picture-perfect views of the Front Range.
Many features of this custom urban home take their cues from the traditional farmhouse, including rough sawn wood doors, rustic hardwood and polished concrete floors, shiplap walls, barnwood siding, and exposed wood beams.
But there are plenty of modern features and conveniences as well. Multi-slide doors to the back patio create a moveable wall of windows that join indoor and outdoor living spaces. Concrete countertops and fireplace surround create a modern product from a traditional building form. And radiant in-floor heat and a standalone soaker tub in the master bath offer luxury that’s unheard of back on the farm.

A couple whose jobs caused them to constantly relocate were finally ready for their forever home in Northern Colorado. They found a few acres of land with great mountain views, then met with us. We helped them find the right architect for the home they wanted with a warm, rustic Colorado feel.
The home features plenty of local stone, heavy beams, and warm, reclaimed woods featured in custom woodwork: a fireplace mantel that came from a boxcar and durable, reclaimed hickory flooring that can withstand the traffic from the owners’ busy dogs. Walls painted white allow the dark-stained wood shiplap to pop and accentuate its rich character.
The couple loves to entertain, so expansive sliding glass doors open the home completely to the large, covered composite deck that flows down to the large patio below. An accordion window in the kitchen slides open to reveal a sit-up bar on the deck, making it easy to serve guests or pass food in and out.
The kitchen makes entertaining easy as well, with a 60-inch range and custom metal range hood made by local craftsmen at Raw Urth. While the owners opted against upper cabinets to keep the kitchen open, the adjacent butler’s pantry provides plenty of storage.
Other built-in conveniences include a full home automation system that controls lighting, audio, and video; lighted, heated mirrors in the master bath; and a heated garage complete with media system.

The exterior of this home in Old Town Fort Collins features mountain architecture with easy-care stucco, locally sourced stone, and heavy timbers. But the inside is all European-inspired minimalist design.
White walls lead the monochromatic color palette with black exposed steel beams and dark wood cabinetry providing accents. Even the can lights in the ceiling are void of trim to avoid disrupting the ceiling lines.
White oak floors set in a herringbone pattern add interest and warmth while the custom cabinets feature integrated drawer and door pulls to avoid disrupting the minimalist look. A built-in coffee bar makes use of the space under the open staircase and keeps clutter off the countertops.
The Neolith slate, glass-like façade and concrete hearth of the fireplace contrast in color and texture with the white walls and ceiling and complement the natural wood glulam beams.
The home backs to an open-space pond for privacy, making the patio the perfect place to entertain. A bar accessible through an accordion window provides a convenient way to serve guests while keeping the party outdoors.

This home from the late ’80s had a good exterior architectural design, but it needed updating on the interior to add some style.
We maximized the existing spaces by opening up the floor plan and reconfiguring the kitchen and bathrooms. A built-in breakfast nook and open shelving lightened up the kitchen while a soaking tub and new cabinets added extra luxury and convenience to the master bath.
Painting the brick fireplace to contrast with the white walls, adding a Scandinavian woodburning stove in the family room, and reconfiguring the staircase provided some modern touches. These, combined with updating all the interior finishes and adding custom built-ins, breathed new life into this home.

This modern home was a net-zero energy design-build project built in collaboration with a local architecture firm. The owner was living in the Midwest, so other than an in-person, upfront planning meeting and a few visits for walkthroughs along the way, we built the home with him providing input from afar.
One of the homeowner’s goals was to be as close to net-zero in energy usage as possible. The home features solar panels to generate electricity and geothermal heat pumps to power in-floor radiant heating and cooling. Solar panels also heat hot water to augment the heating system and provide hot water for domestic use.
The modern design of the home also helps to save on the energy needed for heating and cooling. Extensions on the roof let the low winter sunlight pour through the windows to provide passive solar heat during the colder months and block the rays in the summer to help keep the house cool.
The home’s foundation and its garage floor sit on concrete piers drilled into the ground. This keeps them away from direct contact with the poor soils the home is built on, allowing the soils to expand without causing any damage.
We commissioned custom furniture, countertops, and other features made from salvaged elm and walnut trees cut down in the area. Custom walnut doors, wardrobes in the master suite, and grain-sequenced cabinet doors and drawer fronts coordinate beautifully with the locally sourced pieces, as do the accents made from beetle-kill pine.
The home nestles into the ground to provide a mid-level walkout basement. Stairs go down from main floor and up from basement to meet in the middle and provide access to the outdoors. Locally sourced Colorado buff stone accents interior walls and transitions to exterior walls, helping to further anchor the home to its beautiful, lakeside location.

This custom home began its life as a 1990s lakeside stucco home in Fort Collins that we stripped down to the studs and rebuilt new.
The new included a 2,500 square foot addition to the 4,000 square foot main house designed as aging-in-place living quarters. This allows older parents to live comfortably in the same house but still have their privacy.
The home is full of custom features, including custom fabricated steel gutters and downspouts, Ipe shiplap siding, flooring from milled walnut and exposed square nails, beetle-kill pine soffits, open stair risers from urban-harvested walnut, and barn doors made from reclaimed bowling lanes. A two-story indoor waterfall drops gracefully and unexpectedly into a basement koi pond.
There’s plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors with an Ipe wood deck, custom outdoor kitchen and seating, hot tub, swim spa, and a wood and steel pergola to help block the late-day summer sun without interfering with the views of the lake.

This Craftsman-style home rebuild nestles into a long, narrow lot in Old Town Fort Collins. We worked with a local architect to custom design a new home that offered the Old Town location and styling of an older home with an open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and other features designed for modern living.
The home not only needed to fit comfortably on the lot, it needed to conform with the existing neighborhood. Period exterior details, including four-inch horizontal lap siding, shake shingles at gable ends, and natural, locally sourced Colorado buff stone allow the home to blend in with the others on the block. The long, south-facing wall gave us the opportunity to use large windows to capture passive solar heat in the winter. Mature deciduous trees on the west side shade the home and the low-maintenance Ipe wood deck in the summer.
Important to the homebuyers were aging-in-place features. We created wide hallways and doorways, no-threshold shower entries, and a level path from the detached garage into the home to improve accessibility.
Lighting was also important. In the kitchen, backsplash windows let in natural light while the timeless white shaker cabinets with marble countertops keep the area bright. In the main floor master suite, the ceiling height ranges from 7 ft. to 10 ft. with cove uplighting to avoid harsh glare. The variance offers volume but keeps the room cozy.
To make the basement seem less like a basement, an open stairway with custom metal railings lets light in from above while large concrete window wells and 9 ft. ceilings open it up from below. A wood-look luxury vinyl tile (LVT) gives the family room a cozy touch and makes maintenance easy.
