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.

Set in Montana's tranquil Shields River Valley, the Shilo Ranch Compound is a collection of structures that were specifically built on a relatively smaller scale, to maximize efficiency. The main house has two bedrooms, a living area, dining and kitchen, bath and adjacent greenhouse, while two guest homes within the compound can sleep a total of 12 friends and family. There's also a common gathering hall, for dinners, games, and time together. The overall feel here is of sophisticated simplicity, with plaster walls, concrete and wood floors, and weathered boards for exteriors. The placement of each building was considered closely when envisioning how people would move through the property, based on anticipated needs and interests. Sustainability and consumption was also taken into consideration, as evidenced by the photovoltaic panels on roof of the garage, and the capability to shut down any of the compound's buildings when not in use.

This hand painted mural of Giants Stadium Graffiti is in my son's room. The letters of his name (Lucas) create a frame for the stadium. Bricks, crumbling plaster and water stains, add an urban grunge feel perfect for an up and coming teenager. All the elements were hashed out clearly with my son ahead of time. We even had a signed contract. He had stipulated bubble letters, and when I decided to make it more angular, he was up in arms about the "breach in contract". In the end, he decided how it turned out was better than he could have imagined. He also has a better understanding of "artistic license".
