This residence in Denver's exclusive polo club neighborhood is considered a family heirloom by its owners.
Working within the neighborhood design covenants, the home hosts modern spaces in an updated traditional form. We worked painstakingly to develop exterior details using time-tested materials in a modern syntax. Each enabled the home's craftspeople to work at the very top of their craft.
The result is a modern space tempered by traditional form and materials, with a palette of zinc, stone, and vertical-grained fir. Simple lines and Shaker-inspired details on the cabinets and connections emphasize a hybrid steel-and-timber frame structure. The house is carefully sited, incorporating several large American Elm trees into a seamless weaving of home and landscape. The house is a testament to a warm, timeless palette, defining a series of spaces that support a modern way of life for this family of five. Arch11 recently added a poolhouse, accessed via a vine-covered walkway, featuring living and bathing spaces in a spa-like retreat.
