MAY IS MY FAVORITE

month of the year. Not only

is it my birth month (gifts

accepted all month long)

but in May I get to do two

of my very favorite things:

plant flowers and watch

baseball.

I spend a good part of

the winter perusing seed

and plant catalogs,

daydreaming about lush,

overflowing containers and

changing my mind a million

times about which new

perennials I’ll add to my

ever-expanding garden. I

have a friend who, year after

year, begs me not to plant

until Mother’s Day, but I can

never wait that long. So I

invariably end up dragging

in pots and covering beds to save all my little babies from the last frost.

And baseball. Oh, how I love the Rockies. As I write this, Opening

Day is less than two weeks away; a day that, for me, ranks right up

there with Christmas. Because really, is there anything better than being

at Coors Field on a warm, sunny day, seven-dollar beer in hand,

cheering for our boys? I think not.

May is also a great month for CH&L. This is our annual Architecture

and Design Issue, which includes our Home of the Year (page 40)—a

hip yet elegant loft space in downtown Denver—as well as other

masterfully-designed homes. We also visited with award-winning

architect Christopher Herr (page 37) in his Boulder home and

discussed what he thinks is the future of good design. (Hint: it’s not just

sustainable.) And since it’s almost time to plant those flowers, we bring

you bunches of bright, modern, floral-print furnishings, fabrics and

accessories (page 19). I’m counting on these pages to keep me

occupied until at least Mother’s Day.

BRUCE AND JODIE WRIGHT

ONE ARCHITECTS, TELLURIDE

CH&L: The overhang you designed

creates such a dramatic promenade.

Walk us through the space.

Bruce Wright: It’s all about the experience—of being aware of thespace you’re in. The way it’s done, it’sobvious that this is the front door—that you have arrived, so to speak. We created contrast from when youdrive in—you pull underneath a section of the roof that’s as low as wecould comfortably put it, so there’s

an experience of tightness—to whenyou walk to the front door, as thespace expands. The entrance drawsyou in as the height of this shed roofascends to the front door.

CH&L: You describe this entryway as

an “appetizer of what’s to come.” How

is it a prelude to the rest of the house?

BW: As the house developed itscharacter, we started to introducelots of reclaimed materials inside. Soon the exterior, we chose materialsto dovetail the entrance with theinterior, so there’s some consistencyin feel throughout the house.

The PaletteThe door: Reclaimed steelframe, dismantled barn wood surroundDoor hardware: Customreclaimed steel leverEntry wall: Sugar wood fromdismantled tobacco barn inthe South (which gets itsname from how the woodabsorbs tobacco sugars)Overhang: Timber from a mill in the Pacific Northwest paired with hand-selectedboulders from local quarry Lighting: Mining-style lantern sconces

As the old saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. These grand entrances make themost of that occasion and set the stage for what’s to come

CCY ARCHITECTS, BASALT

CCYARCHITECTS.COM

CH&L: How does the landscape

shape the entrance to this home?

Larry Yaw: The boundaries betweennature and this house are very slim.The homeowner, Maria Smithburg,is a Harvard-trained landscapearchitect and she designed thisamazing combination of a cultivatedgarden with a water feature, so aspart of your entry experience youhear the sound of water and experi-ence the beautiful visual groundingshe’s created.

The idea is that architectureextends into nature and nature intoarchitecture. There are three stairsthat take you down to the level of thedoor, so you’re really walking into asanctuary-like space, surrounded bystone and wood and water.

CH&L: You talk about the “choreogra-

phy of entry.” Tell us what that means.

LY: We tried to take people into thedomain of the home before theyactually go through the front door.The front door is almost ‘after thefact’ because of the experience com-ing up to it. Getting to the door isdramatic, but at the same time it’santiclimactic, because you’ve alreadyentered this domain.

BRAD TOMECEK AND CHRISTOPHER HERR

STUDIO H:T, BOULDER

STUDIOHT.COM

CH&L: This door is a work of art.

Where did you get your inspiration?

Brad Tomecek: We designed thishouse and had it fabricated inGermany; we wanted a door that

was elegant and well crafted, butthat had a sense of strength andintegrity. We found that in Germanysecurity is a huge issue, so they taketheir doors very seriously. Eventhough there’s a glass strip, the construction is very stout.

CH&L: Walk us through the elements

at play in this entrance.

BT: One thing we talk about quite abit is transitions. Here, you travelthrough a whole sequence from theroad to the front door: you see thehouse and you descend the stairstoward it, then the roof reaches outand you enter yet another space thatslowly takes you from being out inthe open to being enclosed. Thedoor itself is really just the thresholdfor entering the house.Christopher Herr: The whole entryapproach reaches out and caressesyou, and moves in a very transitionalmanner. It’s progressively inviting.

The PaletteThe door: Zebrano wood,

glass and stainless steel

Entry wall: Hard-coat stucco

Lighting: Simple overhead

recessed lighting

Ground surfacing:

Decorative concrete pavers

Style points: Purposeful lack

of ornamentation results in

a clean, modern look

Entry wall: Stone

Overhang: Timber trellis

ASPEN, ROWLANDBROUGHTON.COM

CH&L: How did you keep this

entrance so sleek and refined?

Sarah Broughton: We used a seamlessdoorway—we didn’t want a thresh-old or a saddle in the floor. Then thestone [underfoot] really carries thespace from the outside to the inside.We picked exterior sconces thatrecede and mount into the wall sothey’re more architectural than decorative. And we used shed roofsto complement the original archi-tectural lines of the 1960s house.

CH&L: Talk about about designing

doorways for mountain homes.

SB: Since we have bad mud seasons,you’re shedding that exterior layerbefore you’re entering a house—taking off your coat, your shoes.

You’re putting yourself togetherbefore you come in. It’s a reallyimportant threshold.

CH&L: How is imagining the entrance

part of the whole design process?

SB: I find that we design the frontdoor last. It’s like writing a book; youneed to write the opening last. It’sthe last detail that seems to gel wheneverything else is completed andfully developed.

ANNE SHUTAN, LONGMONT

CUSTOMDOORMAVEN.COM

CH&L: This entrance manages to

be rustic and sturdy, yet soft and

inviting. How did you pull that off?

Carl Cray: On the porch, in particu-lar, I wanted to use long eaves over-he ad so a huma n be ing fee l s

sheltered. It also feels proportionedwith the eaves on the rest of thehouse, so everything reads as a unit. Ifyou tood the entry off the house, itwouldn’t look right.

The wood gives the space a warmfeel. I only used wood on the ceilingbecause I didn’t want to competewith the exquisite door [custom-designed by Anne Shutan]. It hassuch a graceful feel to it with thatone curved piece of wood, which isin relief with the rest of the door; itkind of undulates in and out and justsoftens the door tremendously.

CH&L: What did you hope to accom-

plish with this entrance?

CC: I try really hard to integrate theexterior with the interior, both visually and in feeling. This entrancecreates a promenade that leads youinto the home. There’s a processionto it that starts from the time you seethe front door and continues untilyou’re in the middle of the house.

IF YOU HAVEN’T HEARD OF CHRISTOPHER

HERR, YOU JUST AREN’T PAYING ATTENTION.Between the awards he’s been racking up and themedia attention he’s getting because of them, he’spoised to become a household name. And forgood reason: Herr is a brilliant, forward-thinkingarchitect. At 41, he’s been in the biz for less than10 years, and this month he will travel to NewOrleans with his wife Tina to accept a 2011 YoungArchitect Award from the American Institute ofArchitects—one of only 11 recipients in the coun-try and the only Coloradan. How does it all feel?

“Wonderful,” Herr says. “The business hasgrown organically, based in a passion for design,and the awards have just come.” He pauses andadds, “We’ve submitted our projects, of course.You can’t win if you don’t play.”

The business he’s referring to is Boulder-basedStudio H:T, which Herr co-founded with fellowarchitect Brad Tomecek in 2002. “We blindlyleapt into starting our own firm without a wholelot of consideration of where it would go.”

For a relative newcomer to the profession, thearchitect has some bold ideas about design. Forstarters, Herr lives in a minimalist “box house” inBoulder, his firm’s first award-winning project,with his wife and two small children. Then youhave his passion for not only sustainable design,but what he calls “restorative” architecture.

At Home With

Christopher HerrThe award-winning architect

talks about design, music and

why sustainable architecture

may not be enough

At Home Wi th . . .

“Before the Industrial Revolution,all homes were built sustainablybecause there was no [alternative];we used passive strategies and natu-ral materials.” Then, Herr explains,plastics and other “dead-end” mate-rials (that don’t decompose) camealong, leading to homes with largecarbon footprints. “Now, it’s time tostop the depletion...and we can’t juststop—sustainable is ‘stop’—we needto build in a restorative way, a waythat is carbon-positive. We need toconstruct buildings that producemore energy than they use.” Forwardthinking indeed.

Herr holds a master’s degree inarchitecture with a specialty inacoustics; an interest that evolvedfrom a background in music. Go tothe Longmont Symphony Orchestraon a Saturday evening, and you’ll seethe architect, also an accomplishedmusician, playing the French horn.

He also finds the time to giveback to the community, teachingarchitecture at the University ofColorado, working with Habitatfor Humanity and serving as amember of Architects and Plannersof Boulder.

For this talented up-and-comer,design isn’t just limited to the studioor the site he’s currently working on.“Design is everywhere. When it’saccidental, it’s not very good. Butwhen it’s purposeful and done well itmakes a difference to people.”

WE WERE JUSTWONDERING...What are some of your favoritebuildings in Boulder?The Boulder Courthouse is a sweetArt Deco building; I also love the CUcampus. The buildings are a subtlebackground to the space. It’s a greatway to do a campus.

Let’s go beyond Colorado.Rudolph Schindler’s Kings RoadHouse in Los Angeles. Walking into ithad the most visceral impact on me.He built it in 1920 and used tilt-upconcrete, which is common now. Hewas way ahead of his time.

What other architects have made an impression on you?Louis Kahn. He had a gift of integrat-ing building systems in a way thatserved the building. We should aspireto that level of integration; to makedesign as pure and clean as we can.

What do you do for fun?The classic ‘outdoorsy’ stuff: we telemark ski, we bike—we did the 24Hours of Moab [mountain bike race].Not so much now with the kids, butwe look forward to raising them intothat lifestyle.

Who are your favorite composers...and what music do you love to play?My favorite composer is GustavMahler; he’s also my favorite to per-form. He writes fantastic horn partsand his music is passionate and moving. I’d throw in some DavidByrne (Talking Heads) as well. Didyou know he trained as an architectand recently turned a building into a musical instrument?

Designer Beth Armijo minglescrisp colors with textured finishesand pops of playfulness in arepurposed loft space

BY SALLY STICH PHOTOGRAPHY BY KIMBERLY GAVIN

CH&L: What was the genesis of this project?

Interior designer Beth Armijo: The homeowner approached me after havinglived in this space for more than a year. She was ready to make the space‘grown-up’; to move beyond the post-college ‘use-what-you’ve-got’ phase.

The loft is 3,000 square feet in the old Volker Building [in downtownDenver], and the light was lousy in spite of huge windows. The floor planwasn’t great and her personal possessions were limited. Her goal was tomake it feel homey but sophisticated, to infuse the space with a sense offun—a place where she could hang out alone or with company.

CH&L: The finished space defies what most people think of as loft

living. It feels intimate, not cavernous. How did you get there?

BA: The loft was basically open except for the bedroom and a study. Thestudy had four windowless walls, which made it very dark. We put interior windows in the wall between the study and the kitchen, so thespace now gets light from the kitchen. The living room, dining room andkitchen were all open to one another so we put up a custom bookcase toseparate the kitchen from the living area. Since the bookcase doesn’t go tothe ceiling, you still know you’re in a loft. Custom rugs also define eachmajor area and the furniture is not oversized—each piece fits perfectly.

42

CH&L: How did you arrange lighting?

BA : The whole space needed goodlight and the big windows helped, but Ifelt they needed to be framed. Layers ofdrapes and sheers were used to softenthe exterior light; inside, we put tracklights at eye level and used sconces andchandeliers to create warmth.

CH&L: The color scheme is so crisp

and serene. Tell us about the palette.

BA: The homeowner loves blue andgray, and those hues became the start-ing point for every other color choice.Because the three major living areasopen to one another, we had to be diligent about not using hues thatshocked the senses. Shades of blue andgray—and muted greens—provide theprimary palette.

(above) Through these doors anddown four steps is the solarium,

which retains its original paneling.(right) The homeowner's dining roomtable and metal chairs pair with new,boldly upholstered wingback chairs

and handmade Peruvian chandeliers.

44

The [mahogany] kitchen cabinets were all painted blue, and the deepbrown and peach granite counters were replaced with white CaesarStone.We added under-cabinet lighting and three pendants over the island. Thestools are covered in citrine velvet, which adds a little pop.

CH&L: Short of using the word “eclectic,” how would you define the

vibe of this loft?

BA: The overall feeling is stylish and fresh with a strong foundation inenduring design principles. For example, the wingback chairs are very traditional, but covering them in Dedar and Nobilis fabrics takes thedesign to new heights.

The wood throughout is timeless, but we used gray walls next to it toadd sophistication. For example, we kept the existing dark paneling in thesolarium [from the building’s earliest days as a manufacturer of Venetianblinds] and juxtaposed period-appropriate Cole & Son Deco Damaskwallpaper in unexpected colors: gray, mauve and purple.

While Armijokept the existingappliances andcabinets, a coatof light blue painton the once-darkmahogany cabi-nets brings thekitchen alive withcolor. The curvingisland accommo-dates three cit-rine velvet stoolsaccented withnailhead trim.

FOLLOW BETH ARMIJO’S TIPS:LAYER LIGHTING. Good lighting makes all

the difference in the feel of a room. Pick arc

lights, table and floor lamps and sconces—

and work them all into one space.

CONCENTRATE ON COLOR. Pick a scheme

and stay on track. Armijo doesn’t like

accent walls (they’re too jarring), so if you

need an area with strong color, she

recommends going bold in one room that

can be closed off to all others. The moral:

have fun within limits.

RECONSIDER: WHAT IS ART? So many

people think art is paintings or sculptures

or pastels, but almost anything can have

artistic value. Pick a collection of black-and-

white photos, for example, or hubcaps or

vintage magazine covers, and frame them

similarly. Arranged well, they become art.

REALIZE THAT NATURAL MATERIALS are

timeless, but manmade materials can be a

pretty good second. A high-gloss coat of

paint can make wood cabinets look new.

A manmade counter material, such as

Silestone or CaesarStone, can be more

resilient and less expensive.

DECLUTTER. Nothing drains the energy

from a room like clutter. Just as too many

words spoil a good novel, too much clutter

detracts from a room’s narrative “arc.”

CH&L: You incorporate a variety of textures—metal chairs, wood

shelves, both glass and tin chandeliers, velvet fabrics. How do you make

these disparate elements jibe?

BA: This is the most fun part of a job. The first principle is that no onewants everything the same texture, so I start by looking at different thingsthat are in keeping with the personality of the project—blue and gray, funand stylish. Because there was already so much wood and glass in the loft,I shied away from those textures. You don’t want a big glass coffee tablethat is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, so a fabric-coveredottoman fit the bill. The homeowner already had the metal dining room

chairs so we used nailhead accents to incorporate more metal into otherpieces of furniture. She also had the wood dining room table, so we addedtwo wingback chairs covered in Kravet fabric along with the metal chairs.You never want one texture to dominate.

CH&L: In short, what’s the overarching key to this loft’s great design?

BA: This places works beautifully on an intuitive level, as good design gen-erally does. The homeowner couldn’t deconstruct the equation of light tospace to texture to color but she knows in her gut that the place feels goodand contributes to a daily sense of wonderment and well being.

Spectacular mountain views, floor-to-ceiling windows,multiple levels, generous square footage, privacy and outdoor living space: these perks aren’t unusual when itcomes to Vail Valley mountain properties. So what makes this home special? Finding all those desirable qualities on a small lot in town just steps away from the buzz of a bus route, ski lifts and shopping.

“This isn’t a second home tucked away—it’s where we live year round in the heart of West Vail,” sayshomeowner Craig Yarde, whose goal was to get the most privacy out of his lot, which is just shy of a half acre,faces a busy road and backs up to open space. He presented this challenge to architects Kyle Webb andHeather Barrie of K.H. Webb Architects in Vail.

“Privacy was the prime driver of the siting,” says Webb, who conceptualized a C-shaped home with threewings surrounding a courtyard. “We designed around its relationship to the outside and the courtyard,” hesays. The living and dining areas and bedrooms open to the secluded courtyard and mountain views. Thewing that fronts the road is reserved for Yarde’s home office, guest suite and a storage garage.

The courtyard concept and major landscaping additions help enhance privacy; another challengewas the site itself, which rises steeply from the street. To accommodate the change in elevation, Webband Barrie designed a series of gradual split levels with half staircases. “There are three stories in each

section as the house cascades down the hill,” Webb says. “For the amount of grade change, you don’t feelit or see it. The house comes together fluidly.”

The angular nature of the architecture helps make this possible. “From the start, I wanted a very contemporary home. A major objective was to square everything off,” Yarde explains. The architects complied by designing a variety of roof lines—a shed roof to provide vaulted ceilings in the kitchen and living room; more contemporary, flat roofs elsewhere. The beauty of the exterior lies in both the forms andthe materials, which define the various elevations and sections.

For the interior, the homeowner enlisted the aid of kitchen designer Rys Olsen of Arclinea Colorado, whointroduced a sleek Italian-concept kitchen crafted of teak wood and stainless steel. Interior designer AprilBevins of Laureen Hopkins Interior Design selected tile, stone, lighting and furniture for the home, customdesigning several pieces to add to the mix. “We were going for a bold, masculine look and clean, square linesto complement the angular lines of the architecture,” she says.

Yarde, who owns a steel and aluminum import business, worked with the architects and builder BrianGillette to incorporate metal into the design of the house, from the steel industrial support beams and

staircases to the exterior’s zinc panels. The sleek mate-rial is juxtaposed with limestone blocks and clear cedarsiding on the exterior, punctuating the contemporarylines. Some of the materials transition to the clean-linedinterior of the home as well.

The 6,500 square-foot, five-bedroom home flowsthrough an open floor plan, with well-proportionedspaces that are connected to the outdoors. “Because thisis a full-time residence, we have a different way of look-ing at things,” Webb says. “Two giant sliding glass panelsin the living room open to the courtyard and embrace theoutdoors.” Protected from the wind and open to the sun,the courtyard is enjoyed most of the year by Yarde andhis two young sons.

“Whether you are in the courtyard or the house, it doesn’tfeel like there are neighbors around,” Webb says. “It feelsprivate—that was our ultimate goal and greatest success.”

Clever design details and eco-friendly building systems worktogether beautifully in this contemporary family home

BY BRIGID SWEENEY PHOTOGRAPHY BY EMILY MINTON REDFIELD

WHEN DENVER ARCHITECT VIRGINIA DUBRUCQ was approached bylongtime family friends—a local couple with two young daughters—to design a contemporaryhome to the highest environmental standards, she hardly batted an eye.

Builder Chris Withers, on the other hand, admits he may have blinked once or twice. “Thiswas one of the most complicated structural projects I’d ever seen,” says the founder and co-owner of Old Greenwich Builders of the four-bedroom, 4,800-square-foot home.

Case in point: The exterior is clad in 8x16-inch blocks of red trespa—aweather-resistant laminate paneling—and several shades of cement that werelaid together like a jigsaw puzzle, with the windows cut to size. As if thatweren’t painstaking enough, Withers also added a rain screen, suspending theblocks an inch and a half off the exterior to prevent water penetration.

The owners “were very committed to doing this as thoroughly andthoughtfully as possible,” says DuBrucq. But that would require the architectto design around a variety of zoning constraints. She would have to get creative with solutions that added to the home’s cutting-edge aesthetic ratherthan undermine the original vision.

The couple, a geological engineer-turned-nature photographer and anonprofit executive, wanted the house to look as modern and spacious as possible without appearing to be overscale. Zoning restrictions preventedDuBrucq from expanding the home outward, so she went up instead, creating a multi-level layout that combines flat modern rooflines with curvedsections over three wings.

This vertical orientation also provides a dramatic backdrop for the family’sartwork. (The second-floor balcony was built expressly to showcase an original ’60s-era George Rickey kinetic sculpture.) And though the various

Eco-SecretsIn addition to being architec-

turally striking, DuBrucq’s

design is also environmentally

sensitive. Here’s how the

home minimizes energy use:

GREEN ROOF The flat areas

of the home’s roof are

covered in greenery that’s

planted over a waterproof

membrane, helping cool the

home in the summer and

prevent water runoff.

GEOTHERMAL HEATING

The home’s heating system

circulates water from five

250-foot-deep wells, where

the temperature remains

warmer than the exterior air

in the winter and cooler in the

summer. The water cycles

through a furnace that trans-

fers the heat or cold in the

water to the rest of the home.

SOLAR DESIGN Rooftop solar

panels and an abundance of

carefully placed windows

allow the owners to directly

heat and power their home

with the sun’s rays.

Visitors enter throughmain doors that are set three-and-a-half feet up from thestreet and then descend into a cozy sunken living room. Adouble-height section that leads to the third story risesfrom the center of the house, while a street-facing, two-story glass wall showcases the sleek hickory staircase. At theback of the house, a second spiral staircase encased in a steeltower lets the daughters run directly from their bedroomsto the basement playroom.

Smart design moves continue throughout the rest of thehome. Outside the living room, an exterior glass-and-steeloverhang above the room’s windows admits sun in winterbut blocks heat in the summer. And inside, a minimalistSpark fireplace is surrounded by a cement hearth thatexactly matches the exterior brickwork.

All told, the home strikes a careful balance—pushing the design envelope with stunning modernelements, while providing space for down-to-earthfamily living.

“I think this was the crowning achievement of[DuBrucq’s] long, storied career,” Withers says.“There are only a few times in life that you get todesign such an ambitious project.”

Mod DigsThe home design trend

of 60 years ago—mid-

century modern—is alive

and kickin’ in Denver

BY PATRICK SORAN PHOTOGRAPHY BY TERI FOTHERINGHAM

BABY BOOMERS AND thirty-somethings finally have somethingin common—they both love mid-century modern design. “Boomerslove it because of the adventuroussimplicity it offers and younger buy-ers find it radically hip,” says PeterBlank, realtor and team member ofmilehimodern.com, a site dedicatedto modernist history and real estatein Denver.

Mid-century modern—or, ashipsters abbreviate it, MCM—wasthe leading edge of residentialdesign throughout the 1940s, 50sand 60s. Now-famous designerssuch as Cliff May and Joseph Eichlerwere creating the look in SouthernCalifornia. In Denver, architectVictor Hornbein and developerEdward Hawkins were craftingregional adaptations for neighbor-hoods such as Arapahoe Acres,

Arapahoe Hills, Lynwood, KrisanaPark and Hilltop.

Mid-century architects used sim-ple elements to fashion homes withboth street appeal and livability.Gently sloping roofs create cathe-dral-like interior spaces as well asinviting entries. Floor-to-ceilingglass walls blur the line betweenindoors and out, a plus for nature-loving Coloradans. Exposed post-and-beam construction providesvisual liveliness. Tongue-and-groovepaneling sheathes walls and ceilingswhile stone or that once-spiffyflooring—linoleum—crawls acrossfloors. Kitchens are small by today’sstandards, but rooms open to eachother, providing a sense of expansivespace even though actual footprintsmight be modest.

Blank says both generations lovethe look, but buy these houses for

different reasons. Folks in theirfifties and sixties are often down-sizing. “They don’t need four bath-rooms or a formal dining room any-more,” Blank says. For them, mid-century modern represents a nostal-gic adventure into the sexiest era of

American history: JFK and Jackie,Ford Mustangs and, well, hot archi-tecture. Younger buyers, says Blank,are seduced by how hip and cool thestyle is. “Like little lofts on land,” hesays, referring to the open plans andexposed structures. Many have

been brought up in more traditionalbungalows or bland brick ranches,and they become enamored. Theyalso like that reusing a home built 60years ago reduces their carbon foot-print and enhances their personalcommitment to sustainability.

Looking for a mid-centurymodern home in Denver? Startwith these neighborhoods:

Arapahoe AcresThe stately matron of Denver MCM,

Arapahoe Acres was designed by

Edward Hawkins, a protégé of Frank

Lloyd Wright. These 124 homes are

heavily influenced by Wright’s “Usonian”

vision with flat roofs, deep overhangs,

bands of windows along with natural

wood, and brick and stone used both

outside and in. Yards have a suburban

appeal with lots of Japanese-influenced

landscaping. Arapahoe Acres was the

first mid-century modernist neighbor-

hood in the nation to be listed on the

National Register of Historic Places.

Arapahoe HillsArapahoe Hills is Arapahoe Acres’ playful

younger sister, located farther afield,

west of downtown Littleton. The houses

feature sloping roofs, dramatic expanses

of Colorado sandstone or straight-

stacked concrete block, clerestory

windows and angled balcony walls.

LynwoodYou might think of these more down-

market dwellings as tract-home

versions of the Arapahoe neighbor-

hoods, but that would undervalue the

tender loving care that has been

devoted to renovating and upgrading

their price-sensitive materials and lively

designs. The sportier styling is referred

to as California Contemporary, harking

back to the original design ideas.

Located near South Holly Street and

East Evans Avenue, Lynwood is full of

color, shape and texture.

Krisana ParkLocated across South Holly Street

from Lynwood, Krisana Park has been

gradually renovating itself for several

years. The style is also California

Contemporary, the streets are curvy,

and price per square foot is on the rise.

HilltopOne of Denver’s best-known neighbor-

hoods and certainly one of its most

exclusive, Hilltop is speckled with

homes from the mid-century era. These

tend to be architect-designed creations

with fancier finishes, larger square

footages and bigger yards—along with

prices to match.

architecturalsalvage

It’s a fun way to go green. When you buy salvaged building materials

you’re not only scoring conversation-worthy accents for your home;

you’re also diverting materials from the landfill and minimizing the

use of raw materials.

Don’t expect perfection. “The reason these pieces are charming and

interesting is that they’re obviously recycled—meaning they’re not

perfect,” says Eron Johnson, owner of Denver’s Eron Johnson

Antiques. Tip: Have a furniture restorer coat any pieces of peeling

paint with clear paste wax, which maintains the antiquity of the piece

but gives it a smooth finish, Johnson says.

Beware of “too good to be true.” There are a lot of architectural

salvage knockoffs out there, warns Johnson—particularly when it

comes to marble fireplaces, stained glass and iron work. If the price

is too good to be true (as in, considerably less than every other piece

you find), it probably isn’t the real thing.

Know what you need. If you’re shopping for pieces that need to

serve a function (doors that operate, etc.), bring along a notepad

filled with the measurements and quantities you need and pictures

of items you want to match, says Tom Sundheim, owner of Queen

City Architectural Salvage in Denver.

Find new uses for old items. “The beauty of architectural salvage is

it frees an antique from its former use,” says Johnson. Iron garden

gates can become decorative headboards; wooden window frames

act as room dividers; and an old weathervane emerges as the perfect

accent for your mantel.

Be open to doors. Shopping for antique doors means having an eye

for “quality beneath the paint,” says Sundheim. “Know which woods

are heaviest. A pine door will weigh far less than a comparable oak

door.” If you need the door to function, pony up for a heavier door.

Also, for newer homes, understand that you may have to reframe

openings to accommodate taller antique doors, Johnson says.

Hit up the hardware section. You might have a hard time finding

enough matching knobs and drawer pulls to outfit, say, a whole

kitchen. But unearth a few antique pulls (they can even be mis-

matched) for the right dresser or accent table, and you’ve got a

statement piece.

Let there be light. If you live in a historic home, says interior

designer Beth Armijo of Armijo Design Group, one of the best

ways to honor the architecture is to install period-appropriate light

fixtures. But, adds Johnson, remember two important safety tips:

have an electrician update the wiring and, for pendants, reinforce

the ceiling box. (Most antique fixtures are solid brass and heavier

than modern fixtures.)

Dig around for your garden. A trip to the salvage yard can yield

curios perfect for your outdoor living spaces, too. Look for stone

statues or pillars, cast-iron park benches, weathered farm tables, or

even vintage bathtubs (great for birdbaths).

Try DIY salvage. Someone just might love that pale-pink tub you’re

tearing out of your master bathroom. Before you haul it off to the

landfill, consider selling your relics online, or, even better, donating

them to ReSource Yard (resourceyard.org), a nonprofit with salvage

yards in Boulder and Fort Collins. Sale proceeds benefit waste-reduc-

tion programs and donations are tax deductible.—Cheryl Meyers
