A unique design opportunity presented itself when a young Denver developer contacted F9 Productions in the summer of 2010 to develop a residential duplex project in Golden, Colorado. The developer had purchased a foreclosed property that contained an existing foundation completed for an un-built duplex project prior to the market crash in 2008. For this project to procede in the current economic conditions the design needed to fit within an extremely tight budget and also work with the existing foundation constraints. The final design solution became an open floorplan coupled with a modern façade and topped with traditional sloped roofs. These basic design solutions allowed the developer to meet his financial constraints while providing for a simple yet intriguing building envelope.
