SCOPE / Custom Home | Luxury Home Design
LOCATION & DATE / Denver, Colorado | 2022
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The 2074 Residence is a bold, modern home located in Denver's Observatory Park neighborhood, showcasing nearly 6,000 square feet of innovative design across three thoughtfully composed levels. Completed while working with Work Shop Colorado, this project was honored as the 2022 Home and Garden Showcase Home of the Year and represents a defining moment for high-end residential architecture in the area.
At the heart of the design is a two-story exterior atrium that serves as both a visual and experiential centerpiece. Surrounded by walls of glass and flanked by a floating staircase, this dynamic courtyard blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. Expansive accordion-style doors, multiple rooftop patios, and a strategic use of large windows ensure that natural light and exterior connections remain constant throughout the home.
The layout includes five spacious en-suite bedrooms, each designed for comfort and privacy. The owner’s suite is a true retreat—featuring its own rooftop deck, private yoga terrace, and a spa-inspired bathroom with custom finishes. Custom built-ins, a showpiece kitchen, a wine room, and layered gathering spaces reinforce a lifestyle centered around both entertaining and serene retreat.
With a palette of steel, glass, and natural finishes, this home delivers a contemporary aesthetic without sacrificing warmth or texture. Built for architectural impact and everyday livability, the 2074 Residence is a standout contribution to the modern housing landscape of Denver.
