The house achieves this through high performance insulation, minimizing air leakage (the blower door target is 0.6 ACH50), and by using an energy recovery ventilator to warm the incoming fresh air with the heat of the exhaust air stream.

Photography by Patrick Ray With a footprint of just 450 square feet, this micro residence embodies minimalism and elegance through efficiency. Particular attention was paid to creating spaces that support multiple functions as well as innovative storage solutions. A mezzanine-level sleeping space looks down over the multi-use kitchen/living/dining space as well out to multiple view corridors on the site. To create a expansive feel, the lower living space utilizes a bifold door to maximize indoor-outdoor connectivity, opening to the patio, endless lap pool, and Boulder open space beyond. The home sits on a ¾ acre lot within the city limits and has over 100 trees, shrubs and grasses, providing privacy and meditation space. This compact home contains a fully-equipped kitchen, ¾ bath, office, sleeping loft and a subgrade storage area as well as detached carport.

The focal point of this vaulted family room space is the Ortal corner gas fireplace, which provides a warm and inviting location for conversations and spending time with the family. The simple modern detailing is the result of a collaborative effort with Blaze Fireplace and Keeth Building Contractors to accomplish the necessary fire related construction and venting for the unit.

By moving the exterior wall to the patio out two feet, we were able to create an open kitchen/dining/living space in perfect proportion for this mid-century style home. This extra space allowed us to transform the existing galley kitchen into a U-shape with a peninsula bar. The blue base cabinets pack a punch of color, while the white uppers and backsplash create a light and airy space that looks bigger than the actual square footage.
