Tomecek Studio ArchitecturePhotography by John Gibbons
Project by Studio H:T principal in charge Brad Tomecek (now with Tomecek Studio Architecture). This contemporary custom home forms itself based on specific view vectors to Long's Peak and the mountains of the front range combined with the influence of a morning and evening court to facilitate exterior living. Roof forms undulate to allow clerestory light into the space, while providing intimate scale for the exterior areas. A long stone wall provides a reference datum that links public and private and inside and outside into a cohesive whole.
Upside DevelopmentUpside Development completed an contemporary architectural transformation in Taylor Creek Ranch. Evolving from the belief that a beautiful home is more than just a very large home, this 1940’s bungalow was meticulously redesigned to entertain its next life. It's contemporary architecture is defined by the beautiful play of wood, brick, metal and stone elements. The flow interchanges all around the house between the dark black contrast of brick pillars and the live dynamic grain of the Canadian cedar facade. The multi level roof structure and wrapping canopies create the airy gloom similar to its neighbouring ravine.
Kipnis Architecture + PlanningThe exterior of this home is a modern composition of intersecting masses and planes, all cleanly proportioned. The natural wood overhang and front door stand out from the monochromatic taupe/bronze color scheme. http://www.kipnisarch.com

ODS ArchitectureThe front yard of a home sited off an unique shared street in the East Bay was transformed with elegant Ipe fencing and new sandblasted glass gate and carport walls - the street facing fence has two layers of horizontal fencing inside and outside to give a sense of lightness and depth without sacrificing visual privacy.

Pelletier + SchaarThis southeast facing residence uses the design to capture sunlight to passively heat the interior spaces. Aluminum sun screens on the exterior help shade when angles of the sun are too harsh and interior light shelves help bounce the light upward, deflecting direct sun at certain times of the year.

Rhodes Architecture + LightMagnolia Gardens orients four bedrooms, two suites, living spaces and an ADU toward curated greenspaces, terraces, exterior decks and its Magnolia neighborhood community. The house’s dynamic modern form opens in two directions through a glass atrium on the north and glass curtain walls on the northwest and southwest, bringing natural light to the interiors.
McKinney York ArchitectsThe client for this home wanted a modern structure that was suitable for displaying her art-glass collection. Located in a recently developed community, almost every component of the exterior was subject to an array of neighborhood and city ordinances. These were all accommodated while maintaining modern sensibilities and detailing on the exterior, then transitioning to a more minimalist aesthetic on the interior. The one-story building comfortably spreads out on its large lot, embracing a front and back courtyard and allowing views through and from within the transparent center section to other parts of the home. A high volume screened porch, the floating fireplace, and an axial swimming pool provide dramatic moments to the otherwise casual layout of the home.
