Refined Spaces

A70 | Project Summary

This project involved a comprehensive renovation of the main living areas and layout to better serve the needs of a family of four. The main space was transformed into a spacious, open-concept design that fosters a more connected and functional living environment. To accommodate the family’s growing needs, two bedrooms on the main floor were combined to create a luxurious main suite, offering a retreat-like space. Additionally, a new basement bedroom was added to provide flexibility and privacy for the family. The updated design emphasizes both function and modern aesthetics, resulting in a cohesive and more practical home that enhances daily living for the family.

Common Questions

  • Focus on removing non-structural walls to open up the living area. Use multi-functional furniture, such as built-in storage or fold-out tables, and incorporate vertical space with shelving or cabinetry. An open-concept layout with flexible zones can make the space feel larger and more fluid.

  • The primary challenge is ensuring proper flow and functionality while maintaining privacy. Consider incorporating custom storage solutions, like built-ins or a walk-in closet, to optimize the space. You’ll also need to carefully plan for adequate lighting, ventilation, and soundproofing.

  • Yes! By selecting similar finishes, lighting, and design elements, you can ensure the basement bedroom blends seamlessly with the rest of the home. Key considerations include moisture control, proper egress windows, and ensuring the space feels as inviting and bright as the upper levels.

  • A detailed structural plan and consultation with a local architect or contractor is necessary to ensure all changes comply with Denver’s building codes. You’ll need permits for any structural changes, electrical work, or alterations to the building envelope, such as windows or exterior walls.

  • Prioritize key changes that will have the most significant impact on the home’s function and flow. Consider phased renovations if necessary and choose materials that are cost-effective but still durable. Working with a designer to create a cohesive plan will help avoid costly changes down the line.
