Modern Bridge House

Adding on to the existing older estate posed some unique challenges, and finding the right balance of modern design with respect to the home’s farmhouse roots was critically important in maintaining a cohesive design.

A contemporary portion was built alongside the existing home that includes a guest suite, home office, gym, pool support facilities, kids’ playroom, living room, kitchen & formal dining room. A glass “bridge” links the old house to the new section and offers the owners a backdrop for their extensive art collection.

Modern Mountain Cabin Reno

Bear Peak, a picturesque summit in the Front Range Mountains, has long been a fresh-air getaway for Boulderites. Its location is close enough to downtown Boulder for commuting and removed enough to enjoy some peace and quiet after a day at work. But many of the homes in the area resemble cheap timber lodges—and that worn-out look wasn’t what this tech industry, start-up couple had in mind for themselves.

Our team preserved the best aspects of the original house and improved up the rest – transforming the ”funky 70s mountain lodge” to the mountain-modern home the clients wanted. This mountain retreat reflects a harmonious flow between indoors and out that makes it perfectly in tune with its surrounding natural environment. The architecture and design are characterized by a rustic-modern aesthetic that meshes beautifully with the site. Every detail was well planned and articulated, celebrating the mountain lifestyle these homeowners yearn for.
