Rodwin Architecture & Skycastle Homes

We had a wee leaky 100-year-old greenhouse that dreamed of being something more in life. Poof! Transformation happened in the form of "Juniper House" - for now a sweet retreat sanctuary with a private entrance and courtyard for housing artists in Lyons, Colorado... and later a nest for in-laws / au pairs / an artist-in-residency space... Well done, Skycastle Construction and Rodwin Architecture! Everyone who stays there RAVES!

We highly recommend Rodwin Architecture and Skycastle Construction for the design and build of your home. We were very happy with both the design of our house and the subsequent high quality construction. Being sister companies, they worked very closely together to ensure that the design that we and the architectural team had created and finalized was exactly reproduced during construction with no mishaps, oversights or rework. The architecture team were very good communicators who listened closely to our needs and preferences. They presented us with various options, ideas and recommendations at every step of the way and worked very hard to give us exactly the house we wanted. The construction of the house was very closely supervised at every step by Skycastle, and they kept us fully informed throughout the construction through regular on site meetings, which were very valuable to us in understanding the overall progress, flagging any upcoming decisions or choices we would need to make, and updating us on the status of any issues. The construction is now complete and we are delighted with the outcome. The quality of the finished house is outstanding and from what we saw throughout the build, the quality the contractors they used were exceptionally good at every step, from foundations through framing, utilities, flooring, tiling, cabinet installation, finish woodwork and painting and staining. We are very pleased with the final result of both the original design and the construction itself. We wholeheartedly recommend the combination of Rodwin Architecture and Skycastle Construction if you want both an outstanding design and a rigorous, quality construction. We are delighted with the house that they designed and built for us.

My wife & I worked with Rodwin Architecture to rebuild our house after the flood in 2013. Scott & his team were great to work with from start to finish. They were very attentive to our needs & offered many creative ideas in the re-design of our house that we are very happy with (and wouldn't have thought of on our own). Very detailed oriented, friendly and always professional. I will definitely be working with them again for all my future architecture needs!

This was our first time building a custom home. Many people say, "It's a LOT of work! A LOT of decisions and time!" Rodwin & Skycastle made building a house fun. There were very clear expectations, timelines, and budgets. And as problems come up (for example, and odd zoning configuration on our lot) Scott and team were collaborative and clever problem solvers. In the end, the new home is high quality and feels like "us." Every room and every detail feels homey and warm and inviting. Scott and team were able to translate our likes and dislikes into house form. We 'll live here forever!

This is not our first time building a home but by far our best experience. We are thrilled with our home that was designed and built with Rodwin and Skycastle. From site selection, design, permitting and construction, the partnership with Scott and team have been outstanding and one that we would highly recommend to anyone considering a build or renovation in the Boulder County area. Would be happy to speak with potential clients in more detail about our experience.

These guys performed miracles on our remodel of a house built in 1976! They creatively fixed all of the challenges of this old house. We can’t believe it’s the same house. It is gorgeous!!! They did beautiful, creative work and were fun to work with. We loved our team. I highly recommend!

Scott (Sensitive Information Hidden), Brandon (Sensitive Information Hidden), and their professional teams did a magnificent job designing and building our home. From initial interviews and questionnaires to completing punch list items after moving in, this mission was successful. We think their most important skill was listening to us, and giving repeated feedback in what Scott calls an iterative process. This led to refining and shaping our ideas and theirs over time, giving the best possible outcome. Cost and efficiency were always a priority and we appreciated that. There are always countless challenges designing and building a home, especially in COVID times and in a heavily regulated community like Boulder, so good communication and rapport made all the difference to us. After nearly a year of living in our new home, we appreciate the quality of the build and are most satisfied with the experience. Thank you Scott, Brandon, Shannon, Kellie, Mike and others for all your hard work and making this a success story.

It is a pleasure working with Rodwin & Skycastle. From design through construction, the process is carried out as expected. And client needs and wishes are honored - no upselling.

Working with Rodwin Architecture was an absolute pleasure. They consistently demonstrated excellent communication and responsiveness, always making us feel valued as clients. The entire team is incredibly talented and dedicated, with a remarkable attention to detail. They went above and beyond to understand and address all of our needs, ensuring a smooth and successful project.

Working with Scott was a real pleasure. Despite us being in different continents, he and his team provided good clear instructions, listened to us and responded quickly to keep the project within the client’s vision. You couldn’t ask for better than that. Andy Carter Maçonnerie Générale.

After searching Boulder County for more than 3 years and failing to find a suitable small home with some land for our dog (Yellow lab) and pony (3 geldings) show, we ended up purchasing a special piece of property in the foothills north of Boulder. We didn't want to build again but it was the only alternative to get what we wanted. Rodwin Architecture had done a feasibility study on the property so contacting Scott was a logical first step. Scott's description of the design and build capabilities of Rodwin Architecture in conjunction with Skycastle Construction made a compelling argument for choosing them for the project. We are glad we did. The home design and site plan incorporated all of our vision with attention to detail and Rodwin Architecture walked us through the administrative jungle of Boulder Co. to get an approved building permit within a year. Construction in the time of COVID was a challenge but Skycastle persevered and we managed to move into our new home in less than 3 years from land purchase. Almost every day we take a moment or two to appreciate the comfort of our home and the beauty of our surroundings. We have no reservations recommending Rodwin Architecture and Skycastle Construction.

It has been a pleasure to work with Scott and the Rodwin Architecture team. Our homeowners association engaged the Rodwin Architecture team to lead the design effort for the renovation of our recreation site including a new pool and pool house. They bring extensive knowledge and experience to the project and have approached the project is a very professional and thorough manner. Thank you to Scott and entire Rodwin Architecture team.

I recommend Scott and his team to all of my clients. Building a new construction home in Boulder County can be challenging, but Scott’s experience, knowledge and connections makes it a much easier and enjoyable process. Scott’s inspiring architectural designs accurately reflect the vision of his clients and his construction quality is unparalleled. Scott is graciously willing to offer his advice on the suitability of a property prior to purchase to insure his clients will be able to build the home of their dreams. Scott is an invaluable partner for my clients.

As a landscape design/build contractor, I have worked with Rodwin Architecture and Skycastle Homes on a few projects now. Their projects are always beautiful and extremely well thought-out. My experience with the architect, builder and their client is always a pleasant one. They go out of their way to make sure that their client's vision is achieved and they are professional and responsive if there are ever concerns about something. I would highly recommend working with them on a project or hiring them to build your dream-home.

After deciding to scrape an old house and start from scratch we knew we needed an architect. After vetting several companies we chose Rodwin and could not have been more happy! We had a budget and they helped us to stick to it (which can be tough). They were very flexible with meetings (as we have small children) and made house visits when necessary. Their response times to email/calls were always prompt. We had a lot of changes through the process and they walked us through every step professionally and honestly. We would highly recommend Rodwin architecture for your next project!

Working with Scott and the team was a great experience. They were very inclusive and communicated with me clearly and often. This helped create a beautiful and cohesive design for the clients, inside and out.

Scott and his team were super-responsive, extremely knowledgeable and amazingly friendly when I made a simple inquiry regarding the viability of a potential project on a on a lot that came on the market. They do certainly excellent work!!

We greatly appreciate and respect Rodwin Architecture's work. Their approach is thoughtful of people and always the greatest health of the planet.

Working with the Rodwin team was one of the best experiences I've had thus far as a flooring contractor. What sets them apart is their vision, attention to detail, and professionalism with their subcontractors. Nothing goes unnoticed or unresolved throughout the design/build process. I wish all of our clients were like them!

I recently photographed a custom design build project for Rodwin Architecture & Skycastle Homes in Boulder, CO. Scott is a master architect and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.

Scott Rodwin has gone above and beyond for us many times over the years, offering expert advice when we needed help. Highly recommended!

Rodwin Architecture and Skycastle Homes are great companies. I haved enjoyed working with them over the years. They are very thoughtful, creative and professional.

Scott Rodwin is the consummate professional. While his work speaks for itself, its his preparedness that sets him above the rest. Every time Scott has shown up for a client, he has gone above and beyond to present his research to my clients. There is no stone that is left unturned. After any meeting that my clients have had with Scott, they're more blown away by his everything. I would highly recommend that you reach out to Scott and his team for your next project. You will be thrilled by the results.

BACKGROUND: We are first-time home builders in Boulder County, many-time home remodelers (in California and Colorado). We have been working with Rodwin Architecture since March 2016 on a 3,000+ sq ft custom home in Boulder County. Design is complete, and we are awaiting county review. REVIEW SUMMARY: We have been very pleased with the work that Rodwin Architecture has done for us so far. Scott and Kirsten have been great to work with, and the people we have met from the partner construction company (Skycastle) have been extremely helpful and professional, even though we have not officially committed to using them to build, yet. We would highly recommend talking to Rodwin Architecture if you are considering building a custom home in Boulder County.

We have just begun the build of our new custom home and, so far, our experience working with Rodwin Architecture has been nothing short of amazing. We were impressed with Scott's professionalism and creativity right from the start. Extremely switched-on when it comes to green building, Scott and his team are experts at navigating complex City rules and regulations. We were able to complete the design phase up to permit submission in about 3 months and all via FaceTime and e-mail while we were still living abroad. The Rodwin/Skycastle team are efficient, accommodating, and genuinely a pleasure to work with; and we are very excited to be watching our dream home become reality.

Rodwin Architecture/SkyCastle Homes completed the renovation of our office building in an efficient and timely manner. Rodwin took the time to listen to our needs, developed a plan to meet those needs and then executed beautifully. We are a non-profit organization and they were amazingly attentive to our budget.

Very creative and innovative work. Listen well to clients' needs and flexible to the needs of the moments. Wonderful results.

I greatly appreciated their upgrade to my original design; their willingness to roll with the punches as slight modifications occurred during construction; their ability to overcome and correct Boulder Counties inability to comprehend our needs; and the level of professionalism throughout the working process.

Toured the house a bit. The design seems very thoughtful to me. Didn't have that "tiny boxes" feel. Had and original feel.

Rodwin architecture/skycastle homes designed and constructed our new green built home. They were wonderful to work with through the shole project and we are completely happy with the result. The design is perfect for us and has an amazingly low HERS rating of -8. It was good to work with people we trusted completely and had our best interests at heart. We give five stars with no reservations.

Incredible people, amazing designs and beautifully construction! The best by far! I would hire them for any project I'm doing!

Over the course of the last year, we interviewed 3 other architect firms to help us repair and revive our medical/dental facility. It wasn't until we met Scott Rodwin and team that we met the firm with a sense of shared vision, experience and 'green' background that was able to help us connect the building with our business and community goals of healing and wellness, Alongside the design of our new pedestrian bridge, building and directional signage and beautification to common areas, they have been indespensible with helping in the construction process and contracts, and supporting necessary updates to building code.

I was taking a look at a piece of property to purchase, and Rodwin Architecture answered my questions in detail, and within an extremely timely manner on what could, and could not, be done with the property, the challenges with what I wanted to do, and the reasons why. I was very impressed with their professionalism, and quick response.

Major remodeling project both interior and exterior. Then, at a later date, outdoor patio, deck, pergola, water feature, landscaping. Great design ability and execution.

Rodwin Architecture is run by a group of thoughtful architects, designers, artists and people who care for the environment. They put detailed thought into their designs and consider sustainability in everything. This shows in their work and in their participation in the building and architecture community.

Rodwin has a gifted eye and a penchant for precision. I deeply trust their competence. but just as importantly, I trust their integrity, intentions, and how they go the distance to get everything right.

Fantastic team of people! The designs are amazing and their responsiveness is outstanding. It's always a pleasure to work with them.

Scott Rodwin's company did some work on our house in 2001. Put in a structural beam in a tricky place and helped with some creative design pieces. Professional and efficient, I was very pleased with all aspects of the completed job.

Scott Rodwin's design for my amazing new Artbox studio and home renovation has been completed far beyond my wildest expectations as a unique living sculpture on a difficult angled set of two elevations, making a dark ugly duckling into a regal original, brilliant contemporary, substantive statement that lives so well, that I am enjoying the life inside out immensely. Scott instinctively knew how to design for views, light, spacious effect, conserving energy and ease of movement throughout, and opened up my ability to see outward while maintaining my privacy. The long 6 month gestation of design phase with himself and professionals in his office at no added cost to me as the client, was a gift that allowed small features and built-ins that make the house extremely functional and aesthetic at the same time. As done in many European older homes, I detected original 1903 cottage framing that he allowed me to feature with an opening between two rooms that serves multiple purposes of light, heat transmission and mystery of the old artifact open to view from two entries, old and new of the house. The Artbox studio provides a spacious, dramatic towering loft with asymmetrical punched-in artistic arrangements of windows and comfortable in-floor radiant heat coils to insure that for the first time I can make handmade paper and set type without getting sick from cold wet feet. I took over the Permaculture design of the surrounding gardens and hand assembled perimeters, as you will read of this unusual collaborative aspect along with his exquisitely lit photos on his website: http://www.rodwinarch.com/art-box/ I recommend Scott Rodwin as a highly effective design/build green architect who loves to make regular site visits during construction and follows up upon completion.

The entire team has been extremely creative, knowledgeable, responsive and professional. Our experience has been wonderful. We would wholeheartedly recommend Rodwin Architecture.

If we were to build a new house, we would choose Rodwin Architecture/Skycastle Homes again for several reasons. First Scott Rodwin is a very creative and talented designer and he worked tirelessly to dial in the design of our house while being mindful of costs and budgets. In addition, he assembled a team that complements his strengths. We saw some of their other projects and their results were uniformly of very high quality. In our case, our finished house actually exceeded our expectations. We found the entire crew to be honest, responsive, hard-working, and a pleasure to work with and we recommend Rodwin Architecture/ Skycastle Homes to others without hesitation.

We love the home that Scott Rodwin and his team designed and built for us. Scott listened to what we wanted, created a design that was unique and that fit our needs perfectly. The house was finished on time, on budget, with no punch list. It was perfect the day we moved in. The house is a joy to live in with views from every room, careful siting, and great craftsmanship. The house is very energy efficient. Our only source of power/fuel is electricity and we have NO electric bills from May to October because of the photovoltaic system and geothermal system. Most of all, the whole experience of working with Rodwin Architecture and Skycastle Homes was a pleasure.

We visited the owners of 7553 Skyway Court in Boulder CO and were blown away by the outstanding design and sustainable construction involved in the home. Their electric bills are slightly less than their costs for newspaper delivery-amazingly low! The design shows a real understanding of the land on which the home was built and its relationship to the home upon it. FIRST RATE! Dr. Helene Morse

Rodwin Architecture designed our SIP/ICF home in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Scott and his team were great to work with. He listened to our requirements and was able to create a design that fulfilled those and stayed within our budget. Rodwin Architecture is focused on eco-friendly design, and we enjoy a very efficient, one-of-a-kind home.
