With Internal Patio and Raised Above Ground | Subtraction House

Designed for a couple and their teenage son, the 485-square-meter residence was built with cast-in-place reinforced concrete. Its finishes include polished concrete floors and white-painted masonry, providing a modernist and minimalist aesthetic. The house was strategically positioned on a square plot, taking advantage of the gently sloping topography and offering generous views. With an innovative design, the Subtraction House challenges the conventional conception of space, with architectural elements seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor environments, providing an intimate connection with the surrounding nature.

  • 11th St Residence

    Situated on a triple-lot in Boulder’s Newlands neighborhood, this 3200 SF home was designed for a young couple looking to start a family and develop a property well-positioned for future resale in the Boulder real estate market. Our challenge was to preserve as much of the yard as possible while creating a 4BR, 3.5BA home that grouped master suite and kids’ bedrooms on a single floor, and accommodated a private guest suite, ample living areas, open kitchen, and detached garage with small studio space above. The gabled-roof design and divided light windows nod to the vernacular of adjacent properties while charred and stained cypress siding offers a distinctly contemporary tone. A long, horizontal volume stretches across the front perimeter of the property, concealing the large outdoor space behind. The design relies on standard wood framing to optimize budget without compromising form, and allows owners ample room to both grow their family and enjoy a fluid connection between indoor and outdoor areas.
