Residential Design inBoulder, CO

Designing in Boulder means working inside one of the most prescriptive residential codes in the country — solar-access ordinances, the city's Site Review process, and a strong community expectation around energy performance. We treat those constraints as design inputs, not obstacles.

What We Design Here

The Projects We See Most in Boulder

Owners come to us for renovations and additions in Mapleton Hill and Newlands that have to fit the Compatible Development Ordinance, plus new custom homes in South Boulder and on Boulder County foothill parcels where solar orientation and wildfire-mitigation requirements drive the plan.

  • CDO-compliant additions in historic neighborhoods
  • Energy-focused custom homes with solar orientation
  • Foothill custom homes with wildfire mitigation
  • Whole-home remodels in Newlands and Mapleton
