Kohler Drive Remodel

The young family in this home in South Boulder loves their location, but the early 1960’s home needed some attention. In addition to being drafty and inefficient, the house lacked a real garage, and the family wanted a separate master suite, to allow for an office on the main level. But the main problem with the house is that it didn’t take advantage of it’s spectacular site. If you can see the flatirons from your yard, you should be able to see them from you living room.

After exhaustive design work, we added a new garage with master suite above, increased the size of the great room, which will house the kitchen, dining and living room, as well as a pantry. The large west facing windows allow for a stunning view of the Flatirons, which was missing from the original house, while large south facing windows will warm the space in winter. This remodel includes an insulation and air sealing, including a layer of exterior rigid foam, which will make the home more efficient than most “code built” homes today. The exterior was enhanced with stucco, and a grand entryway to welcome guests.
