How do you expand an L shaped Eichler with the challenge of extending a long dark entry? Klopf Architecture's solution, to design a light filled atrium in the hallway to open up the bedroom expansion with green plants, sky lights and a glass wall. Not to mention the thoughtfulness of a blind door with wood siding similar to the rest of the home.

We were asked to add a small sunroom off a beautiful 1960's living room. Our approach was to continue the lines of the living room out into the landscape. Opening up and glazing the walls on either side of the fireplace gave more presence to the Dale Chihuly piece mounted above while visually connecting to the garden and the new addition.

With minimalist simplicity and timeless style, this is the perfect Rocky Mountain escape! This Mountain Modern home was designed around incorporating contemporary angles, mixing natural and industrial-inspired exterior selections and the placement of uniquely shaped windows. Warm cedar elements, grey horizontal cladding, smooth white stucco, and textured stone all work together to create a cozy and inviting colour palette that blends into its mountain surroundings. The spectacular standing seam metal roof features beautiful cedar soffits to bring attention to the interesting angles. This custom home is spread over a single level where almost every room has a spectacular view of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

A mixed color palette and cladding combination create an inviting exterior on this home featuring LP SmartSide cedar shakes, trim and lap siding.
