Blue Oak ArchitectureNestled in the heart of Boulder, this 1950s ranch home was thoughtfully transformed to embrace modern living while honoring the charm and character of the neighborhood. The client wished for their home to become a place of gathering and community. This design embraces the open-concept floor plan by dissolving boundaries and encouraging organic interactions between the spaces within the home and with the surrounding landscape.
At the heart of this transformation stands a strategically positioned wood-burning stove, which can be enjoyed from the dining or living areas, perfect for cozy winter nights. The kitchen dining space emerges as the vibrant epicenter of this family-friendly home with a fluid transition to the patio and garden. Vaulted ceilings accentuated with skylights illuminate the space with natural light, creating an airy, expansive feel; while the French oak flooring introduces a touch of grounding warmth and nature. The bedroom wing, intentionally secluded, offers an intimate sanctuary. En-suite bathrooms feature hints of luxury, including a steam shower and a soaking tub, elevating the space for an indulgent spa experience.
Beyond the aesthetics, the fire-wise design includes non-combustible exterior materials, defensible space, and closed soffits. This fully electric home also prioritizes sustainability with features such as electric vehicle and solar power readiness, water-conserving landscaping, and an aging-in-place layout. Collaboration was key in transforming this house into the “forever home“ the couple envisioned and can now enjoy for many years to come - Photography by Dane Cronin
CabaneA full open-plan living, dining, and kitchen sequence unified by wide-plank oak flooring and a continuous white ceiling. A floor-to-ceiling vertical oak slat feature wall houses a linear gas fireplace with a honed stone surround and an integrated media panel, grounding the living zone without enclosing it. The kitchen is anchored by a Calacatta marble waterfall island, dark matte upper cabinetry, and professional-grade integrated appliances. Full-height folding glass doors dissolve the rear wall, extending the interior into the landscape and flooding the space with natural light.

MODIVO lightThe space opens wide with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out: beyond lies a terraced backyard with native succulents, olive trees, and a fire pit (a must-have for Californian evenings). Large format terracotta tiles in warm, earthy neutrals anchor the floor, echoing the state’s Spanish colonial roots, while exposed oak beams on the ceiling add rustic texture.

The square pavers on the landing were removed and replaced with Brookstown Full Range Modular Pavers from Pine Hall Brick Company, Inc. These traditional wire-cut, square-edge clay pavers complement the existing brick beautifully. The old, deteriorating mortar joints were ground out and filled with new mortar (Workrite 2906 N Old Colonial from York Building Products). After that, the area was cleaned using an acid wash designed for brick (@Prosoco SureKlean 600), which effectively dissolves mortar smears and construction dirt without causing acid burns or streaks. Repointing rejuvenates the old brick's appearance and helps prevent water from seeping into the joints.

Sarah Lawson DesignThe great room is organized around symmetry, scale, and a strong relationship to the landscape. Operable floor-to-ceiling glazing on both sides of the space allows the room to fully open to the outdoors, while a pocketing window at the kitchen sink further dissolves the boundary between interior and exterior. Restrained furnishings and integrated lighting maintain a composed, architectural presence, allowing the space to function as a central gathering area without visual excess.

Quartersawn Design BuildThe formerly sunken living room, once broken up by a small post holding the upstairs landing, was leveled into a seamless floor plane, dissolving barriers and expanding the sense of openness. The result is a gracious, light-filled living area where the new kitchen, central island, and gathering space now flow together.
TERRAFIRMA LandscapeRecently, we embarked on a design project to redesign the entry landscaping with the timeless beauty of a Japanese garden, emphasizing Tsukiyama earth mounding. This technique, which involves sculpting gentle, rolling hills to reflect natural landscapes, brought a new dimension of tranquility and depth to the space.
By integrating a minimalist planting aesthetic and organic, dissolving lines, we achieved a seamless fusion of serenity with modern sophistication. The transformed entryway now greets visitors with unfolding views that perfectly complements the home’s treehouse views into Nichols Arboretum.

Lux Builders & Remodeling Inc.The ADU's indoor-outdoor living setup is a standout feature — a wall of black-framed sliding glass doors dissolves the boundary between the bright, open interior and a lush private lawn, creating a seamless flow perfect for California living. Inside, the kitchenette with warm walnut cabinetry and dark countertops mirrors the main house's design language, while the polished concrete-look floors and crisp white walls keep everything feeling fresh and modern. Private, self-contained, and beautifully finished — this ADU lives far more like a guest house than a typical accessory unit.
