Transitional Modern Lake House in Boulder
A 6000 s.f. full renovation that accentuates the north-facing Lake Allen which a couple calls home. They host their children and grandchildren in a nostalgic “summer camp” enviornment: boating, wakeboarding and paddleboarding, popsicles, band-aids and music. We bring the outdoors in with natural light, wood species of Alder, Cedar and Douglas Fir while keeping the indoor spaces intimate.
