Mountain Canvas

How Form, Function and Flawless Style Combined in the Creation of a Foothills Home

BOULDER LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE, MARCH 2021 | LISA VAN HORNE | IMAGES BY DAVID LAUER

Creativity often thrives within constraints–solving problems according to a defined structure or set of rules. The proverbial blank slate can actually create more of a challenge when it comes to inventiveness and design. Yet for one new build in Boulder’s foothills, the teams of Cottonwood Custom Builders and HMH Architecture + Interiors achieved the creation of a home that is a testament to inviting modernity and indoor/outdoor living while also serving as a true reflection of the homeowners’ vision and style.

If I only had one word to describe the HMH team it would be AWESOME.We have dreamed of building a mountain home for years. HMH helped us bring that... dream to life. It is not too strong to say that we felt like they literally cared as much as they would if they were building it for themselves! Their passion, fierce talent and kindness made the process a joy and resulted in a home we adore.Thank you so much, HMH.read more

HMH designed a beautiful house for us, we could not be more pleased with the results. All the spaces in the house are well dimensioned and well... utilized, and the house has a great feel. The whole design process was easy, timely and smooth. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!read more

Great architecture begins with creative talent, great relationships, and a clear focus.After searching 3 years for an architectural firm that... balanced strong aesthetics, good operational processes, & a hip/upbeat atmosphere, we were fortunate to find HMH and Harvey.Our very first custom home was worked on at a distance. Harvey was always available thru emails, phone calls, site visits, and the HOUZZ app. He kept us on track with our artistic vision, value engineering, and practical solutions. His delightful sense of humor made the learning curve painless.We only wish there were more houses to build, they would certainly be with HMH and Harvey!The Olson's.read more

HMH has unmatched expertise in modern design. We felt completely confident hiring this firm to renovate our mid century modern home. The process was... completely collaborative. As a team, they carefully considered our goals and design ideas and implemented them where appropriate. The firm was completely transparent, keeping our project and design elements within the targeted budget. HMH consistently kept our project moving within a reasonable timeframe. They effortlessly guided us from big picture design to the fine interior details. The team consulted with us regarding major structural/engineering issues. They resolved minor structural decisions behind the scenes so we could focus on the design.HMH has a high quality network of resources for our appliances and finishes. Their use of the ArchiCAD program was extremely helpful in visualizing the design. It provided us with a 3D fly- through model of the design on our personal computer during all phases of the design. Also, having an in-house interior designer who closely works with the architects was a huge bonus.Our general contractor, Ron Patryas, Live Modern, was an integral part of the overall project's success. Due to his high level of craftsmanship and knowledge of modern design he worked seamlessly with HMH.From initial introduction through completion, the process was very professional and pleasurable.Kim and Jason Smouse, Boulder COread more
