About Austin Signature Homes

Based in Denver for over 50 years, this home design and home improvement contractor is still run by the Austin family. Craig Austin inherited the business from his parents, who worked as hard to deepen their roots in the Denver metro community as to build a premier construction company.

Craig took over the family business after earning a master’s degree in real estate and construction from the University of Denver. He served on the board of directors of the Home Builders Association (HBA) and helped to found the Homebuilder’s Foundation of Metro Denver. A typical remodeling job by his firm might cost about $50,000, but a new home by Austin Signature Homes can run up to $3M.

A typical build will be priced over $2M and feature an expansive floor plan with ample first-floor spaces for informal and formal entertaining. It will include an elaborate great room, maybe a white marble fireplace, oversized windows, a rec room with wet bar, a second floor reading loft, a wine cellar, and a dramatic staircase spiraling through several floors. Custom homes by Austin Signature Homes can be found throughout Aurora, Berkley, Cherry Hills Village, Columbine Valley, Denver, and Grand View Estates.

About Revolve Design Build

This Denver builder was founded in 2003 around the novel idea that “homes should evolve with us.” That is how owner Jared Phifer describes his eclectic team’s forward-thinking home design philosophy. It’s a philosophy known as “Passive Home Building,” which is practiced in Europe but new to America. Phifer is now certified by Passive Home Institute (PHI) for building high-end homes that conserve on energy. The homes are built with airtight “envelopes” that prevent outside air from seeping in and create higher-performing windows and doors.

Phifer likens the passive home approach to green building and says more of his high-end clients are coming on board. Those clients are in upscale neighborhoods throughout Cherry Hills Village, Berkley, Denver, Edgewater, Mountain View, and Lakeside. They seek out Phifer for his team’s expertise in green building, sustainable home design, and energy efficient homes — even if that means paying the $3M price tag such technology commands. In 2017, Phifer’s revenue was $32M, which suggests his groundbreaking approach to residential construction in the Denver metro area is gaining traction.

About Consolidated Construction Management, LLC

One sign of a great contractor are the architects with which they work. In Colorado, few architects have the professional standing of Doug Walter, who specializes in residential remodeling. The principal of this general contractor in Denver, Missouri-native Fred Ahlert, is one of Walter’s go-to contractors for many residential projects.

Ahlert’s construction prowess goes back over 35 years, when he studied construction management at Ranken Technical College in St. Louis, Missouri. Ahlert then honed his skills with various contracting jobs for which he served as project manager, construction superintendent, and vice president. In 1979, he settled in Colorado. Two years later, he opened Consolidated Construction Management, also known as CCM. Ahlert’s small team builds signature homes throughout Denver metro.

Some of his new builds are sprawling and extravagant estates in one of the state’s most affluent areas: Cherry Hills Village. An Ahlert build in Cherry Hills Village could span up to 20,000 square feet, feature a wine cellar, and have enough garage space for clients who collect luxury cars. Or a Mid-Century modern build by Ahlert in Chatfield Acres could feature floor-to-ceiling glass panes along large expanses of the structure, straight lines throughout an open floor plan, and tons of natural light.

About Harrison Custom Homes

This general contractor in Denver has been run by three generations of the Harrison family. Aubrey and Pauline Harrison opened the firm in 1955. Within five years, they’d become a premier residential contractor in the metropolitan area. In the 2000s, Scott and his wife, Christie, took over and changed the firm’s focus to pre-sold business rather than speculative projects. The new builds that Harrison Custom Homes produces in Cherry Hills Village, Denver, and Greenwood Village start at $3M, but many easily climb to $10M. And, according to famed Denver architect Robert Larsen, member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), their quality is beyond compare. Larsen often selects Harrison Custom Homes to serve as general contractors on his designs.

These are not cookie-cutter residences. A typical Harrison build is anywhere from 8,000 to over 25,000 square feet. Every inch of it shows the client’s unique personality, lifestyle, and tastes. Harrison Custom Homes provides smart home technology and renewable energy, including solar and HVAC systems. The firm has constructed luxury homes in Denver metro valued at nearly $60M within the last decade.

About Landmark Traditions

Based in Conifer, Landmark Traditions is still run by the Halliday family, who opened it in 1979. President Jim Halliday has a distinctive take on constructing a home: he’s been known to build an entire home around a show-stopping staircase. That approach, he says, explains why custom builds by Landmark Traditions are works of art. Halliday also stresses his firm’s forward-thinking processes.

Green building might be the rage today, but Halliday’s builds have always been energy efficient. What sets them apart, however, is an almost fanatical attention to detail. Consider, for example, a mountain ranch design with a butler bar, glass cabinets, and custom Alder opening up to a spacious great room, accented by log trusses and a dramatic spiral staircase made of stone. The same home has a hearth room with white oak floors, a stone fireplace, and wall-to-wall glass panels. Outside is a Flagstone patio with hand-peeled logs and a natural stone and boulder waterfall. Landmark Traditions has won Marketing and Merchandising Excellence (MAME) awards for Best Custom Home (1990 and 1992) and won first place in a CARE Whole House Remodel over $1M in 2010.

About Camerata Homes

Owner Jan Knibbe received a Bachelor of Science in Construction Engineering from Iowa State University. He worked for one of the nations’s largest homebuilders after graduating, eventually becoming president of its Denver division. After leaving the company, Knibbe assembled a team of architects, engineers, and design consultants and founded Camerata Homes. His team builds custom homes throughout the entire metro Denver area,as well as doing whole house remodels, scrapes and basement finishing. Its projects vary widely in price and size, using the highest quality materials, in-house design, efficient building practices, and personalized service to give each client a positive experience and beautiful, custom final product.

Camerata Homes has won many awards, including Home Builders Association of Metro Denver Bar Awards for Best Custom Homes in four categories. It also won an HBA CARE Gold Award for Whole House Remodel in 2016.

About True North Builders

The construction expertise of the True North Builders team has been passed down for five generations. President Craig Pickrel learned the trade from his contractor father, Donald, who in turn learned it from his father and grandfather. Craig and Donald ran Pickrel Construction from 1973 to 1990. Ten years later, Craig and his wife, Jacki, opened True North Builders and quickly became known for building award-winning homes. The firm serves the Denver metro community, particularly the more affluent neighborhoods in Castle Pines.

Although new construction is a major focus, True North Builders is also known for breathtaking remodeling projects. A remodel for California clients relocating to Colorado brought warmth to the monotone and cool aura of their home. Cherry cabinets and cultured stone were added to the entertainment room. The fireplace was wrapped in cultured stone veneer, and a Flagstone cap and leg set was used to make an open hearth fireplace. The project won a CARE award in 2010. Another 2010 CARE winner was a whole-house remodel that updated a 1985 home with an open floor plan and refinished natural wood ceiling beams. The team replaced picture windows with double hung windows for a better view of the lake.

About Stone Cloud Design Build

This home builder works throughout all metropolitan Denver communities. Founding Principal Bryan Bozeman holds licenses not only for residential and commercial contracting, but also to sell real estate. He is also a principal at Cole Properties in Denver. Dan Hackett is Stone Cloud Design Build’s licensed architect. He received a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the University of Notre Dame, and he is National Council of Architectural Registration Board (NCARB) and LEED AP certified.
Bozeman and team have been featured in the Washington Park Home Tour of 2014 for a prairie-style home they built near the Old South Gaylord Street Shops. The home, which made the cover of Denver Life Home & Design Magazine, was inspired by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The five bedrooms and five bathrooms form an extravagant master suite. Natural light floods the main floor’s several family rooms, and horizontal lines are everywhere.
The Denver Modern Home Tour in May 2017 also featured a Stone Cloud Design Build project in University Park. The modern home, on S. Fillmore Street, showed Bozeman’s ability to use high-tech lighting systems and innovative designs to blend aesthetics with functionality. Stone Cloud Design Build serves the greater Denver Area. It opened in June 2011.

About Haley Custom Homes

In the early 1990s, founding Principal Dan Fuller developed a knack for buying and demolishing new homes that he then rebuilt to his liking. His were a new and distinctive kind of luxury home that Denver area buyers were quickly warming up to. One of those homes today sells for no less than $2M, but many go up to $7M. They range in size from 4,500 to over 20,000 square feet.
Haley Custom Homes builds in Bow Mar, Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Denver, Englewood, Greenwood Village, and Boulder. And homebuyers aren’t the only people Fuller has wowed. He’s also drawn high critical acclaim, making LUXE Magazine’s Gold List three times and capturing spreads in LUXE Magazine, 5280 Magazine, and Colorado Homes and Lifestyle. Fuller continues to impress with breathtaking remodels. A 2017 LUXE article detailed how Fuller stripped walls and restored windows for clients in Cherry Hills Village, who wanted to preserve the mansion’s 1920s feel. “The result,” said LUXE, is “a house that shimmers with new life.”

About Timber Ridge Properties

A boutique approach to design build is what separates Timber Ridge Properties from the rest. The Denver-based firm, which has been owned by the Wise family since 1985, creates Classic, Modern, Timber Frame, and Craftsman-style homes to each client’s specifications. They handle custom homes and luxury remodels throughout the Denver area. All new homes start over $1M. Remodeling projects start around $250k.

A traditional family home built by Timber Ridge Properties featured a chef’s kitchen with hickory floors and a stone fireplace, and a master bathroom suite with Travertine tile, an island soaking tub, and an alcove walk-in shower. A secluded estate for another client had 20-foot ceilings, cast stone fireplaces, a library trimmed with knotty alder, a sweeping staircase with iron railings, and a patio with a fire pit. Downstairs, the firm also built a luxury wine cellar fitted with warm stone, rich wood, shingles, and detailed ironwork decorating an arched entry. New homes and remodeling projects by Timber Ridge Properties garner lots of media attention. The firm was recently featured in the Summer 2017 issue of Denver Life Home & Design magazine.

About Masterpiece Custom Builders

Masterpiece Custom Builders, owned by Mark Hannum and Dave Funk since 2001, has a laser focus. It doesn’t remodel homes or additions. It does nothing but erect single-family buildings best described as castles.

The designs vary between old-world Colorado charm, Italian villa, Tuscan farmhouse, contemporary mansion, and European chalet. The homes are revered by brokers, developers, and homeowners along the Denver metro front range.

A case in point is a recent build in Columbine Valley that was a finalist for the HBAMD’s BAR awards. Secluded in a gated community, the estate spans more than 7,500 finished square feet. It features custom millwork and timber-framed fixtures convey an “old world” aura. Another dream residence was built near a golf course in Castle Pines.

The spiral staircase winds through three stories. A great room with sky-high ceilings gets a rustic touch from boxed beams. The fireplace burns wood, and the entryway is a vaulted timber frame.

Typical of its work was a limestone Mediterranean estate featured recently in LUXE magazine. The home was built on 19 acres owned by a retired Denver couple who need room for 15 grandchildren and parties they often host. The semi-circle courtyard required the team to install seven tons of sandstone slab, a water feature, and more than 600 tons of Canon City boulders. Kansas limestone was used for the exterior and interior walls; cedar and Douglas fir decorate pergolas and balconies. BOA Construction pledges to practice sustainable design and energy efficiency in its work. It participates in the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) National Green Building Program.

About MarkDesign

Mark Haynes, the Allied American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) Denver interior designer behind MarkDesign, believes one’s home is a way of expressing their personality, values, taste, and personal brand. His firm’s comprehensive services include kitchen/bath remodels, color consultations, furniture and fabrics, surface finishes, lighting, window treatments, art procurement, accessories, rugs, purchasing, project management, and installation. Haynes’ firm works off the premise that the residential design concept is 10 percent of the job, and making sure everything gets completed is the other 90 percent. To emphasize this, they offer a free one-hour consultation. Although his imprint on Denver is still evolving, his work is versatile and his skills have been sought for interior design even outside of Colorado.

Featured Projects

In a modern hilltop farmhouse, Haynes found a way to use an eclectic aesthetic that remained uncluttered and pulled together the entire home in both fun and elegant ways. Highlights include a handsome wood island in the kitchen, white cupboards and pale green paint accents, bright contrasting in the living room upholstery and curtains, and a delicately painted tree that grows up the staircase — on the actual stairs themselves. In a downtown Denver kitchen, Mark managed to cultivate an urban look that seamlessly pairs with the backdrop of the mountains: white, gray, and brown-tiled backsplash; simple hanging lights; a handsome cupboard wine rack; a marble-topped island; gray stools; and simple splashes of orange to bring warmth.

The material used inside reflects the rugged, handsome beauty of the surrounding wilderness perfectly. When Eve Treschitta went to work on an elegant Greenwood Village home, she brought inspiration from the graceful aesthetic she witnessed in particular neighborhoods, on a recent trip she’d taken to Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Featured Projects

Atelier’s clients started with a blank canvas when they moved to Colorado from New York, with no furnishings for their new home. Atelier brought their appreciation for culturally inspired visuals, which blended perfectly with their clients’ extensive experience traveling the globe. Moroccan, geometric, and other worldly themes were fused to generate a diverse palette in the rugs, tile, light fixtures, and upholstery. Highlights include a corner reading nook at the end of the fireplace with a Saarinen table, a marble island top in the kitchen, green lacquered casework in the study, and a set of intricate, old carved doors at the top of the stairs.

The clients were looking for a blend of contemporary and woodsy, and so the home became a warm mixture of bold colors, wood texture, and modern accessories. Features of the design aesthetic include yellow and metallic wallpaper in the small bathroom, reclaimed wood ceilings, a teal sectional, and built-in bookcases in the living room.

Watts gained experience working with Elaine Stephenson Interiors in Roanoke, Virginia, and then made her way to New York City to work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the American Decorative Arts Department, where she also completed the graduate program at the New York School of Interior Design. Since being in Denver, Watts has worked with Douglas Associates, Interior Designers and has overseen multi-million-dollar residential projects. After going off on her own, with Nadia Watts Interior Design, Watts has been able to showcase her attention to detail and her versatility with different aesthetic palettes. Watts has been featured on Expertise for Best Interior Designers in Denver 2017, and her work has been highlighted in 5280.

Featured Projects

Nadia Watts illustrated her commitment to eclecticism when she updated a classic dining room in a Cherry Hills house. She saw potential in possibilities others might overlook, like the mocha-red color combination, expressed through Pagoda wallpaper from Katie Ridder, and bold scarlet drapes for the French doors and bay window. A hanging lantern above the table and traditional anchor pieces provided by the client tied the room together with a tasteful blend of elegance and sass. The bright, spacious, open concept kitchen adjacent to the classic dining room is another example of Watt’s willingness to pair the unexpected. Simple grays, pale greens and a polished white countertop creates a country contemporary feel that is complementary, yet entirely distinct from the bold appeal of the dining room.

About TruDesign

TruDesign was founded by Lindi Bolinger and Cynthia Stafford, who both have 25 years of experience and collaborate on a vision of offering clients timeless environments that celebrate life. With their studio in the Denver/Boulder metro area, TruDesign serves clients all throughout Colorado and works on projects of varied sizes. They believe in a process that is both effective and fun. Stafford grew up in a three bedroom house with a family of 10 and learned to see space creatively from a very young age. Bolinger views interior design as a fusion of art and science that can change the world we live in. TruDesign was featured in two issues of Home & Hood. They offer full-service interior design packages, as well as hourly packages.

Featured Projects

In Broomfield, Colorado, TruDesign brought their expertise to a family room and kitchen, which shared and common space and needed an aesthetic that could seamlessly weave the two areas together. By cultivating a single decor theme that emphasized natural wood, simple lines, and environmentally inspired colors, they created a cozy, harmonized space that featured simple yet handsome wall decor, window coverings, pillows, tabletop vignettes, and warm lighting. In the Lafayette house, TruDesign had a new design challenge when they encountered the large galley entry that ran through the center of the house. They started with a focal point wall to spice up the space and give it character. They chose dramatically textured and colored wallpaper, enhanced by custom sconces from Hubbardton Forge. Add in a velvet, backless sofa, and the whole aesthetic was anchored. Well-chosen accessories filled in the gaps and transformed what was once an awkward entry into a gorgeous precursor to their client’s sophisticated home.

Schumacher Interiors is a full-service design firm, assisting with budget definition, design consultation, space planning, selection of home furnishings and fixtures, construction documentation, and final installation.

Featured Projects

Andrea Schumacher knows how to create contrast that doesn’t clash as she fills in the disparity between simple and bold. The firm’s work on a Colorado mountain house executed this perfectly, exemplified in the breakfast nook that includes brightly patterned floral upholstery, a handsome wooden table, and an abstract, artistic light fixture reminiscent of a firework frozen in midair. The bathroom is another place where Schumacher’s creative aesthetic shines. From the muted, blue, free standing clawfoot bathtub to the glass encased shower and the sheepskin rug, this space shouts high end and intensely cozy simultaneously. The firm showcased a different angle on their ability to bridge gaps between styles when they cultivated a modern twist on traditional grandeur at a house in Cherry Creek. Highlights include an emerald green breakfast nook with a clear Saarinen Tulip table, ghost chairs, and a sculptural pendant light.

Russell brings her experience with graphic design, media design, interior design, and the fine arts to TVL’s toolkit and works with an intimate team of two other designers and a marketing manager. A TVL kitchen design was featured on Waypoint Living Spaces and described as “currently cool industrial meets rustic understated sophistication.”

Featured Projects

The master bathroom renovation on Dayton Street was designed to create an open yet anchored feel, and it combined varied shades of shite and natural wood. With the inclusion of an oversized, freestanding tub and a bronze tub filler; a shower floor tiled in marble circles; dark vanity mirrors; and lovely sconces, the bathroom feels like a private spa retreat, fusing rustic simplicity with dynamic grace. The kitchen remodel of the Pinedale Ranch, a dazzling log home in Evergreen, Colorado, really brought together TVL’s knack for merging traditional grandeur with contemporary flare. Bronze hardware, light copper paint, farmhouse-style bronze faucets, an antler chandelier, and quartz countertops make this open, high ceilinged space impressive and inviting. Because the client wanted to maintain the traditional aesthetic of the house, TVL had to keep the integrity of the original rustic appeal as they transformed the kitchen into a chic, log cabin luxury.

About Duet Design Group

Duet Design Group is based off of the immediate friendship and working relationship that formed when Devon Tobin and Miranda Cullen met through a mutual friend. Their creative symbiosis was immediate and led them to create Duet Design Group, where they aim to create a culture of balance, pride, and creative autonomy. In their work, they hope to address the need for marvelous design that is attainable. Tobin received her BFA from the University of Colorado Boulder, where she studied painting and drawing, and she graduated top honors from the Interior Design program at the Art Institute of Colorado. She is a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified Green Associate and is also certified in sustainable design. Cullen graduated with honors from The Fashion Institute Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles.

Duet’s work has been featured on Modern Sanctuary, Colorado Homes & Lifestyles and 5280, among others, and they were the 2016 MAME Awards winner.

Featured Projects

When Trevor Pettennude and Katie Taggett bought their 1927 Arts and Crafts home in the Morgan Historic District, they wanted to honor the home’s historic character while also bringing in a modern feel. Duet helped them craft a functional space for their young family, while also incorporating the couple’s collection of incredible antiques and their growing contemporary art collection. The firm converted the former office into a gallery with a simple daybed from Town Showroom, and gave the dressing room six-panel art and a Noir bench covered in water-safe fabric from Link Outdoor. Adding warmth to a white-on-white kitchen was what Duet Design was tasked with when they redid the kitchen of a mid century, modern home in Greenwood Village. The client’s desires were straightforward — white walls, cabinets, and countertops, with a juxtaposition of new and old. Duet decided to mix and match finishes and textures, such as glossy cabinets and matte walls, in order to create a cozier feeling. Varying reflective surfaces, such as French T-Back Stools from Restoration Hardware and hammered-iron pendant lights with brass accents from Arteriors, cultivated an inviting atmosphere against the clean, contemporary backdrop.

In addition to the shade canopy, 3-Form acrylic panels inlaid with tiger grass were used to design an opaque parapet extension. This was done to add more privacy.

Featured Projects

The house is a classic example of a mid-century style. It has a simple “L” shape and is built on a lot that backs up to a golf course. The house had been there for 60 years, and all of its insides had to be ripped out for the project. This allowed the home to be rewired, get new plumbing and insulation, and get radiant heat. The design team took some creative liberties with the finishes. Instead of shag carpet, they used polished concrete, and they got rid of the hard-to-climb-into sunken tub and replaced it with a modern, sculpted vessel bath.
