The Lookout House began as a farmhouse tucked along a cottonwood lined road in Arvada. The owners loved the character and setting, but wanted a home that could better support the way they live, work, create, and gather.
Rather than starting over, we built around what was already there.
The result combines 4,634 square feet of remodeled space with 6,150 square feet of new construction, creating room for a larger kitchen and gathering spaces, a home office, sewing room, reading and game room, expanded garages, a working shop, and a completely reworked primary suite.
And then there is the turret.
Perched above the house and shop, the 491 square foot circular retreat creates a space to step away from the activity below and take in the surrounding landscape.
Throughout the addition, familiar farmhouse materials including white brick, horizontal siding, board and batten, corrugated metal, exposed wood, and black steel help tie the old and new together.
The goal was never to make the house look like it had always been this way. It was to let it grow while keeping the character that made the property special in the first place.
