This was a major whole house project that actually lifted the home and installed a new insulated concrete foundation (ICF) then built a front addition and added a full second floor drastically enlarging the size of the home. Re-pouring the basement walls allowed for full 8’ ceiling height. The basement remodel included a full bath, family room with gas fireplace and stone facade, walnut wetbar, and a utility room with laundry. Once the house was set down on the new foundation a new front addition with open porch, stone facade, and foyer with open stairway was added to the home. A new 2nd floor with master suite, full laundry, 2 bedrooms, guest bath and open loft area was also added. Main level remodel included a new gas fireplace in front living room, closing existing side entry and converting the rear bedroom to a pantry and mudroom with rear entry. New windows were installed throughout the main floor. The entire home was painted.

Our client wanted to upgrade their garage while also adding an art studio on the side. This included tearing down the existing structure and adding a new concrete slab where both the garage and studio could sit. We then framed, insulated, heated and powered the entire garage and studio. We added large windows along the front, side, and back of the art studio, so that it had a lot of natural light consistently lighting up the space. To finish it off, it has beautiful brown siding with a few black accents, such as the black door and the trim around the windows. It also has a lovely faux wood garage door which is a beautiful eye-catcher. An art studio attached to your garage? Who wouldn't want that!

DUETTE® CELLULAR SHADES
They are soft, yet durable, and very energy efficient.
Because of their intelligent cellular design, honeycomb shades offer and extra buffer or layer of insulation to help control the temperature in your home.
Another amazing benefit to the cellular design of honeycomb blinds is its inherent ability to block out noise. While these blinds are by no means soundproof, they do add an extra layer of tranquility to your home by dampening the various noises from outside.

TLC for a deserving house. New windows, doors, siding, trim, roof, gutters and paint. We put a brand new envelope on the house and added blown fiberglass insulation in the wall cavities. Along the way, we rebuilt the front porch and front foundation wall, edited the roof lines, put on a new rear entry/storage addition, and repaired decades of previous "short term fixes" throughout.

The atelier called for a bright, open, serene and simple space that could inspire but also satisfy the practical needs of the owner. RND took an honest approach to both substance and space, using materials such as raw plywood for the trim, windowsills and even as an eco-friendly insulation, to custom cabinets and bookshelves made from blackened steel. Opening out the ceiling provided a new take on the space's natural light, while hand-carved, hand-painted reclaimed white oak floors add a calming brightness. The custom designed drafting and side tables, industrial colored light fixtures, and an additional 1940s American drafting table and matching stool offer a complete aesthetic to the practical side of the furniture, while the 1930s French leather club chair provides an anchor of contemplative comfort.

SUSTAINABLE, COOL, AND A SMOOTH FLIGHT FOR YOU
This was the first Executive VIP CAT I & II Airport Hangar ever sold at the Boulder Municipal Airport. We completed the first phase of this pilot project in 2019. We completed a remodel for a national shoe brand's headquarters in 2022.
The original build made it perfect for private aircraft/jet owners who want to be based right in the heart of the developing area of Boulder City.
The first of three planned executive hangars is nestled in the premium south-west location of Boulder Airport with stunning waterfront & mountain views of Hayden Lake, the iconic Flatirons, Boulder Foothills, and white capped Front Range.
Before being remodeled primarily for office space, the 4,650 SF executive hangar could accommodate as many as 5 aircraft and included a 30’x15’ 2nd floor mezzanine office flooded with natural light, operable skylight providing ventilation, large picture window and phenomenal Skydeck with panoramic views of the lake and flatirons. The new owners added more mezzanine square footage and windows to section off the area for an executive office space and multi-purpose/multi-media room.
This is one of the only high-performance renewable energy executive airport hangars in the country, exempt from energy code requirements due to low energy usage of less than 1 watt/SF. It was designed with a 6 hour fire-rating, fire sprinkling system, and built with high performance hybrid engineering and technologies to offset the energy load pathways so when all renewables are added it can operate completely standalone and self-sustainable. The building envelope insulation & sound attenuation systems includes 10” Insulated Concrete Form walls using recycled materials & radiant in-floor heat. In the recent remodel we added geothermal loops to utilize the in-floor tubing for renewable cooling in the hot summer months.
The 58’x18’ Schweiss hydraulic hangar door features insulated panels (like what NASA uses inside their rockets) and 6 windows. There’s an additional 10’x10’ overhead door & 2 personnel doors. The 4,095 SF new structural concrete slab apron was constructed to CDOT spec with 65’ trench drain at apron entrance. The main floor features an ADA bathroom with shower, utility floor sink, 2 interior hot & cold hose bibs. Electrical service is a commercial 480-volt, 3-phase with 400 amps with outlets throughout. Ready with 2 EV (Electric vehicle) charging outlets on the west exterior.
As mentioned, after the hangar was purchased by a sustainable national shoe brand, we remodeled it for the new owner's work and warehousing requirements. We added 3 Viessman Solar thermal collectors, HRV-Geothermal Pre-Heating and Cooling System & Battery Power Back-Up System, portable work station “pods”, a large bar, kitchen area, eating spaces, lounge, multimedia room, shoe display areas, more natural lighting and other custom finishes.
Once a solar PV system is added to the south-facing rooftop, the hangar will achieve better than a net zero designation, it could in fact help power some of the other facilities at the airport as well as several EVs through outdoor charging stations.
