About This Project

Nestled in the heart of Boulder, this 1950s ranch home underwent a comprehensive remodel that seamlessly blends modern living with the inherent charm of its neighborhood. The client's vision was to create a welcoming space for family gatherings and community interactions, which was achieved through a thoughtfully designed open-concept floor plan. This layout dissolves traditional boundaries, fostering organic connections between the interior spaces and the lush surrounding landscape. Central to this transformation is a strategically positioned wood-burning stove, serving as a focal point that enriches both the dining and living areas, perfect for cozy winter evenings. The kitchen-dining space emerges as the vibrant core of the home, featuring fluid transitions to the patio and garden, enhancing the indoor-outdoor living experience. Vaulted ceilings, highlighted with strategically placed skylights, flood the area with natural light, creating an airy and expansive atmosphere, while French oak flooring adds warmth and a touch of nature to the overall aesthetic. The private bedroom wing is intentionally secluded, offering an intimate sanctuary away from communal areas. Each en-suite bathroom has been designed to evoke a sense of luxury, incorporating features such as steam showers and soaking tubs that provide an indulgent spa-like experience. Beyond aesthetic considerations, the remodel prioritizes safety and sustainability with fire-wise design elements, including non-combustible materials, defensible space, and closed soffits. This fully electric home is also future-forward, equipped for electric vehicle charging and solar power, alongside water-conserving landscaping and an aging-in-place layout. The collaboration between the homeowner and design team culminated in a residence that embodies the concept of a "forever home," perfectly tailored to the couple's desires and lifestyle, ensuring they can enjoy it for many years to come. Photography by Dane Cronin captures the essence of this remarkable transformation.
