This project is SO close to being done! Second story addition, side addition, and lowered the basement floor about 2 feet and made a lovely 2-bedroom basement apartment/ADU (yep, it's 100% legal to do these in Denver now). The owners have moved back in, get ready for some wonderful landscaping designed by Rebecca Knapp Landscape Architecture !

This Tudor-style pop top is almost done! Click on the album if you want to see what it used to look like.

One of my houses, for sale! This one is brand new, with an ADU (we split a giant lot into two, next door to the north is the original house which has been fully renovated). https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4043-Lowell-Blvd-Denver-CO-80211/342069183_zpid/?fbclid=IwAR3vf8NTN8kOuCHQhMiFYLQpD-b3t0s-8iqXxMWUISCrpXXAS8sOby6UgGk

This 4090 square feet Single Family home has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. It is located at 4043 Lowell Boulevard, Denver, CO.

It's gonna be gorgeous! The line between old/new is starting to blur which is my VERY favorite thing to do with poptops

It's in the 'awkward' phase but it's going to be amazing!

Making progress! The basement is 18" deeper than it was, too (not pictured, but a lot of work)!

So excited we FINALLY got the permit on this! It's going to be amazing. (Denver Bldg Dept has been a horror lately on ALL of everyone's projects)

4301 Wyandot. Classy and timeless!

NW Denver neighbors - NOW is your chance to weigh in on the proposed zoning to allow ADUs on many more of the lots in the Sloan's Lake area! If you want to write a letter in support (or against), and/or attend the (virtual) zoning hearing, give me your email address and I'll forward the info (including a sample letter). More detail about the proposed changes (including exact lots/areas, and resident survey results) can be found here:

ADUs are small, second units located behind a main house on a single unit property. They are sometimes known as carriage houses, in-law units, casitas, or granny flats. In Denver, ADUs have strict size and design standards and the owner of the property must live in either the ADU or the main house....

3701 West 25th Avenue, before & after! So glad to be able to retain the Tudor charm - as always, quite challenging to get these rooflines to work in the tight Denver bulk plane requirements. I was able to make a big lower-slope west-facing portion of roof for solar panels (which you can't see from the ground).

4301 Wyandot is coming along! These rooflines are going to be well worth the zoning variance we had to get. Tudor-style second story additions are tricky.

Poptop on W. Scott Place (Berkeley/Highlands). Rare that I don't use brick on the second story.
