Steamboat Childcare & Worker Housing

Steamboat Springs CO

The Steamboat Childcare and Worker Housing project is a new, 4-story mixed-use building with structured parking located in Steamboat Springs, CO. It includes a 13,000sf childcare center focused on infant and toddler care. 36 one, two and three-bedroom housing units are located above.

As a collaboration between the City of Steamboat Springs, Routt County and the State of Colorado, the project will provide much needed services and facilities to the community while creatively utilizing a previously undevelopable parcel of land along the Yampa River.

The project’s prominent location within the Entry Corridor overlay district and along the Yampa River led to a design where all four sides needed to be carefully considered.

Ream House

It all begins with an idea.

Golden, CO

If we have a type when it comes to residential preservation, it definitely starts with a “R” and ends in an “eam.” After completing the renovation on the amazing Busch house, we had the opportunity to consult on the second of the three houses James Ream designed while he was still in Denver. Sited in the mountains west of Denver, this amazing and iconic house sits in the trees with a light touch on the landscape. It is a wonderful example of how modern architecture can profoundly interact with its landscape when done well.

Wabi-Sabi

It all begins with an idea.

Denver, CO

This project seeks to find and reveal tranquility in the urban/industrial edge of Denver. The philosophy of wabi-sabi, or the acceptance of transience and imperfection governed all aspects of this design which started with an incredible site and a previous generation warehouse waiting for its new life.

Busch House

It all begins with an idea.

Lakewood, CO

We were privileged to have the opportunity to carefully remodel this incredible mid-century modern house in Applewood. Designed in the 60’s by one of Eero Saarinen’s protege’s, James Ream, this house was in a league of its own within other modern houses of its time. Our goal was to continue on the intent that James built into the house in a way that brought it into the current day but did so in an understated and honest way. We were privileged to have it featured in 5280.
