Our Specialty
Mid-century modern, opened up.
We specialize in mid-century moderns: open floor plans, vaulted ceilings and a strong connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. We keep what makes these homes special and rebuild what doesn't work for how you live today.
Why Mid-Century
Denver has some of the best mid-century neighborhoods in the country, and homes that deserve a builder who understands them.
Low rooflines, post-and-beam bones and big glass were built for a different way of living. The work is in keeping that spirit while opening the plan, raising the ceilings and bringing the outdoors in, with the structure, insulation and finishes of a new home.
Open floor plans
Many mid-century homes were built around separate, closed-off rooms. Opening them up means removing walls that are often carrying load, so every plan starts with our partner structural engineers and ends with beams and connections sized correctly and hidden cleanly.
Vaulted ceilings
Raising a flat ceiling into the roofline changes how a room feels more than almost anything else. Done right, it brings in clerestory light and warm wood overhead. Done wrong, it brings in cracks and condensation, so framing, insulation and ventilation are planned together.
Indoor and outdoor living
The best mid-century homes blur the line between inside and out. Larger openings, walls of glass, and decks and covered patios that read as one more room, built to handle Colorado sun, snow load and temperature swings.

FAQ
Questions we hear often
Usually, yes. We work with structural engineers to design the beam and supports that replace the wall, then manage the permits and inspections that go with structural work. You get the open plan without any compromise in how the house stands.
Not if it is planned with care. Our goal is a home that feels original to its era, just more open, brighter and built to modern standards. We are glad to work with your architect or designer on materials and details.
Yes. We build additions that tie into the existing rooflines and materials, so the new space reads as part of the original house rather than something bolted on.
After an on-site consultation, we provide a detailed scope and cost breakdown. All work is invoiced in clear milestones, so you only pay for completed phases.
