Date: 2024
Role: Lead Designer
The Boulder Hacienda artfully captures the stunning Rocky Mountains with panoramic views to the West. Here, the client's sketchbook concept came to life through a meticulous process of design refinement and execution. Designed in a traditional hacienda style, this home includes a spacious central courtyard, facilitating a private and immersive connection with the outdoors year-round. Emphasizing sustainability and energy efficiency, the residence boasts double-stud exterior walls filled with a 14" thick layer of dense-pack cellulose. Notable features include radiant in-floor heating and cooling, along with the use of geothermal energy for efficient climate control. West-facing windows are equipped with low-emissivity coatings, a crucial detail to minimize heat transfer, enhance energy efficiency, and maintain a comfortable indoor environment throughout the seasons.
