Manitou Residence | Littleton, CO

The client approached our team to assist in the purchase of an appropriate midcentury home that would fit their modern-day needs, and reconceptualize its neglected existence into a revitalized modernist retreat.  This new home was to become a sanctuary of sorts – combining light-filled open spaces with warm wood accents, and a clean, crisp aesthetic synonymous with classic midcentury design.  As we walked several properties with our client and their realtor, we focused on certain criteria for optimum potential in reaching their goals.  The criteria came down to flexibility in structure, opportunity for added access and connection to the outdoors, and a floor plan that could accommodate both open and private program.  The team landed on a home that would allow maximum use of existing square footage while minimizing the need to demolish main structural components such as floors, columns, beams and roof. 

Through careful edits and an eye for reviving its classic features, our goal was to bring the home back to life and ready it for the 21st century.
