Design: When our clients moved to Boulder from DC with their kids, they weren’t new to renovation: they knew exactly what they wanted. Having remodeled before, they came in with clarity, confidence, and excitement to collaborate. Their home sits in a prime South Boulder location, just across from the South Boulder Rec Center and Fairview High School, a place woven into daily family life. But while the setting was ideal, the exterior didn’t reflect the warmth or character they envisioned. Improving curb appeal quickly became the focus of their Boulder exterior remodel. Together, we reimagined the home’s first impression. We chose to preserve the original brick, giving it new life with a rich, earthy green that feels grounded in Colorado’s natural landscape. Wood accents were thoughtfully layered in to add contrast and warmth, softening the structure while enhancing its architectural character. Build: This project was a true exterior transformation. We refreshed the siding and installed a new metal standing seam roof, carefully selecting tones that complement the newly painted brick and unify the home’s palette. The materials not only elevate the aesthetic but also provide durability for Boulder’s shifting seasons. To add dimension and break up the flatness of the façade, we introduced L-beams that create depth and subtle architectural interest. These structural elements give the home a stronger presence from the street: modern, clean, yet still welcoming. The result is a cohesive and thoughtfully executed Boulder exterior remodel that reflects both the family inside and the vibrant South Boulder community around it.

Tucked away in the backwoods of Torch Lake, this home marries “rustic” with the sleek elegance of modern. The combination of wood, stone and metal textures embrace the charm of a classic farmhouse. Although this is not your average farmhouse. The home is outfitted with a high performing system that seamlessly works with the design and architecture. The tall ceilings and windows allow ample natural light into the main room. Spire Integrated Systems installed Lutron QS Wireless motorized shades paired with Hartmann & Forbes windowcovers to offer privacy and block harsh light. The custom 18′ windowcover’s woven natural fabric complements the organic esthetics of the room. The shades are artfully concealed in the millwork when not in use. Spire installed B&W in-ceiling speakers and Sonance invisible in-wall speakers to deliver ambient music that emanates throughout the space with no visual footprint. Spire also installed a Sonance Landscape Audio System so the homeowner can enjoy music outside. Each system is easily controlled using Savant. Spire personalized the settings to the homeowner’s preference making controlling the home efficient and convenient.

This bedroom and full bathroom are part of an adventuresome project my wife and I embarked upon to create a complete apartment in the basement of our townhouse. We designed a floor plan that creatively and efficiently used all of the 385-square-foot-space, without sacrificing beauty, comfort or function – and all without breaking the bank! To maximize our budget, we did the work ourselves and added everything from thrift store finds to DIY wall art to bring it all together. A partial double closet bar adds a little extra space while still leaving room for longer hanging clothes.
