HuRa - picture my architecture

Excited to share my very first project i did back in 2018 not long after i went freelance.

This single-family modern home started with a completely different plan. Originally, the clients wanted a pop-top addition. But when we dug into the structural analysis, we discovered the existing foundations simply couldn't support the weight of additional floors.

Instead of compromising the dream, we pivoted. The result? A stunning, brand-new custom build from the ground up!

The Design Challenge: How do you build a spacious, 3-story modern home on a block where most of the existing houses are only a single story?

The Solution: Clever massing and thoughtful detailing!

Tucked-Away Third Level: By pushing the third floor far back from the street, it’s completely invisible from the sidewalk. From the front, it reads as a low-profile, 2-story home that seamlessly respects its single-story neighbors.

The Entry Canopy: To ground the building even further, I designed a prominent entry canopy feature. This pulls the visual scale down right where it matters most, ensuring the home never feels imposing and beautifully respects a welcoming, human scale.

Proving that structural roadblocks are just opportunities for better design.

Custom Estate in Watkins, CO

It’s not every day I get to design a residence of this scale! While my team and I typically focus on beautifully optimized, modern footprint homes, diving into a large-scale mansion design near Watkins was an incredible experience.

Despite the sheer size and intricate details of a home this grand, the entire architectural and design process was incredibly straightforward. A massive thank you to our fantastic client—your clear vision, trust, and collaboration made bringing this expansive estate to life an absolute breeze.

From initial concept sketches to the final permitting drawings, watching this design take shape on the Colorado plains has been a highlight of the year.
