Englewood Renovation & Addition
Extending the home’s original form, a contemporary addition strengthens the connection between indoor living, outdoor spaces, and distant mountain views.
Located on a generous lot in Englewood, Colorado, this 1950s mid-century home was transformed to better connect with its natural surroundings while preserving its original low-slung character. The renovation reconfigured the kitchen, dining, and living areas, creating a stronger connection to the backyard, pool, patio, and landscape beyond. Interior finishes were refreshed throughout, and the primary suite was redesigned for modern living.
A new two-story split-level addition extends one of the home's original angled forms, adding two bedrooms, a lower-level workout room opening to a patio, and an upper-level office with a private deck positioned to capture mountain views. The design takes advantage of the site's natural slope while maintaining the scale of the original home.
Inspired by the existing gable roofs, the addition introduces a subtle contemporary expression, while new white stucco and warm wood soffits unify the old and new elements. The result is a cohesive update that respects the home's mid-century character while adapting it for modern living.

The pool terrace becomes the project's quiet center — where the renovation's interior openness meets the landscape, and the addition's new volumes settle naturally into the slope behind.
