Exquisite craftsmanship creates a breathtaking backyard oasis. When the scope of this project evolved from a new driveway and patio to include a full-size pool and outdoor eating area, D. A. Dunlevy approached the design with an extra eye on the details. Our team of craftsmen and artisans created a one-of-a-kind living space with stone walls, intricate plantings, walkways merged with greenery, an expansive outdoor dining area, and a stone fire pit. The pool and hot tub were incorporated into the design to blend perfectly with the landscaping, resulting in a breathtaking outdoor area perfect for entertaining and recharging.

The project included new flooring throughout, updated lighting design, fresh paint, and carefully selected furnishings that bring warmth and refinement to the open living spaces. In the kitchen, improved lighting and finishes enhance both function and visual clarity, while the adjoining living and dining areas were designed for comfort, conversation, and effortless entertaining. The result is a calm, sophisticated home that reflects the clients’ evolving lifestyle while offering a renewed sense of ease and connection.

This rental condo needed an update and refresh after the tenants’ style and needs evolved. The young professional couple had been living in the space for almost ten years and had gone through a series of career and lifestyle changes, including the arrival of their first child. By taking full advantage of vertical space and clever multi-purpose storage, this 650 sq.ft., 1 bedroom-plus-den condo now includes a large pantry (complete with freezer), space for a home office, lots of storage, and a fully functioning nursery - all without taking away from the comfy and stylish principal bedroom or main living space.

A bathroom to suit a tween both now and as she grows was a unique challenge. By avoiding clichéd childish decor and incorporating timeless, elegant elements, we achieved a design that will evolve with her. We used classic materials like white subway tiles and recycled glass penny rounds for a pop of color and shimmer.

The outdated style of this bathroom required not only an aesthetic refresh but also enhanced safety and accessibility for the homeowners. The redesign features a larger, curbless shower equipped with grab bars, a built-in shower bench, and a teak folding seat. These upgrades significantly improve the bathroom’s functionality while thoughtfully accommodating the homeowners’ evolving safety and mobility needs.

This project was such an incredible design opportunity, and instilled inspiration and excitement at every turn! Our amazing clients came to us with the challenge of converting their beloved family home into a welcoming haven for all members of the family. At the time that we met our clients, they were struggling with the difficult personal decision of the fate of the home. Their father/father-in-law had passed away and their mother/mother-in-law had recently been admitted into a nursing facility and was fighting Alzheimer’s. Resistant to loss of the home now that both parents were out of it, our clients purchased the home to keep in in the family. Despite their permanent home currently being in New Jersey, these clients dedicated themselves to keeping and revitalizing the house. We were moved by the story and became immediately passionate about bringing this dream to life. The home was built by the parents of our clients and was only ever owned by them, making this a truly special space to the family. Our goal was to revitalize the home and to bring new energy into every room without losing the special characteristics that were original to the home when it was built. In this way, we were able to develop a house that maintains its own unique personality while offering a space of welcoming neutrality for all members of the family to enjoy over time. The renovation touched every part of the home: the exterior, foyer, kitchen, living room, sun room, garage, six bedrooms, three bathrooms, the laundry room, and everything in between. The focus was to develop a style that carried consistently from space to space, but allowed for unique expression in the small details in every room. Starting at the entry, we renovated the front door and entry point to offer more presence and to bring more of the mid-century vibe to the home’s exterior. We integrated a new modern front door, cedar shingle accents, new exterior paint, and gorgeous contemporary house numbers that really allow the home to stand out. Just inside the entry, we renovated the foyer to create a playful entry point worthy of attention. Cement look tile adorns the foyer floor, and we’ve added new lighting and upgraded the entry coat storage. Upon entering the home, one will immediately be captivated by the stunning kitchen just off the entry. We transformed this space in just about every way. While the footprint of the home ultimately remained almost identical, the aesthetics were completely turned on their head. We re-worked the kitchen to maximize storage and to create an informal dining area that is great for casual hosting or morning coffee. We removed the entry to the garage that was once in the informal dining, and created a peninsula in its place that offers a unique division between the kitchen/informal dining and the formal dining and living areas. The simple light warm light gray cabinetry offers a bit of traditional elegance, along with the marble backsplash and quartz countertops. We extended the original wood flooring into the kitchen and stained all floors to match for a warmth that truly resonates through all spaces. We upgraded appliances, added lighting everywhere, and finished the space with some gorgeous mid century furniture pieces. In the formal dining and living room, we really focused on maintaining the original marble fireplace as a focal point. We cleaned the marble, repaired the mortar, and refinished the original fireplace screen to give a new sleek look in black. We then integrated a new gas insert for modern heating and painted the upper portion in a rich navy blue; an accent that is carried through the home consistently as a nod to our client’s love of the color. The former entry into the old covered porch is now an elegant glass door leading to a stunning finished sunroom. This room was completely upgraded as well. We wrapped the entire space in cozy white shiplap to keep a casual feel with brightness. We tiled the floor with large format concrete look tile, and painted the old brick fireplace a bright white. We installed a new gas burning unit, and integrated transitional style lighting to bring warmth and elegance into the space. The new black-frame windows are adorned with decorative shades that feature hand-sketched bird prints, and we’ve created a dedicated garden-ware “nook” for our client who loves to work in the yard. The far end of this space is completed with two oversized chaise loungers and overhead lights…the most perfect little reading nook! Just off the dining room, we created an entirely new space to the home: a mudroom. The clients lacked this space and desperately needed a landing spot upon entering the home from the garage. We uniquely planned existing space in the garage to utilize for this purpose, and were able to create a small but functional entry point without losing the ability to park cars in the garage. This new space features cement-look tile, gorgeous deep brown cabinetry, and plenty of storage for all the small items one might need to store while moving in and out of the home. The remainder of the upstairs level includes massive renovations to the guest hall bathroom and guest bedroom, upstairs master bed/bath suite, and a third bedroom that we converted into a home office for the client. Some of the largest transformations were made in the basement, where unfinished space and lack of light were converted into gloriously lit, cozy, finished spaces. Our first task was to convert the massive basement living room into the new master bedroom for our clients. We removed existing built-ins, created an entirely new walk-in closet, painted the old brick fireplace, installed a new gas unit, added carpet, introduced new lighting, replaced windows, and upgraded every part of the aesthetic appearance. One of the most incredible features of this space is the custom double sliding barn door made by a Denver artisan. This space is truly a retreat for our clients! We also completely transformed the laundry room, back storage room, basement master bathroom, and two bedrooms. This home’s massive scope and ever-evolving challenges were thrilling and exciting to work with, and the result is absolutely amazing. At the end of the day, this home offers a look and feel that the clients love. Above all, though, the clients feel the spirit of their family home and have a welcoming environment for all members of the family to enjoy for years to come.

The "Dusty Slate Bungalow" was a single family residence that was completed in multiple phases. The first floor included a play room, dining space, and family room while the second floor included a nursery, girls room, in law suite, master suite and office. The idea was to create a muted subtle color palette that was calming to the eyes yet grounding. The rooms were family and kid friendly and able to evolve as the family grows.

What started out as a simple renovation to the inside space of this side entry evolved into a new side porch leaving enough room on the exterior to enter into a newly designed courtyard area leading to the backyard. Old chain link fencing was removed and concrete block walls were built and stained dark brown. New planting beds and water fountain were installed to anchor the space.

This project started as a kitchen remodel and evolved into a complete transformation. CLT Design/Build converted five separate rooms (living, dining, family, flex and kitchen) into one large great room that is flooded with natural light. CLT Design/Build added windows, removed walls and relocated the kitchen to improve flow, and create a strong connection to the outdoors.
