Moving from the Black Hills of South Dakota to the heart of Denver, these homeowners were ready to embrace city living—but their new loft’s dark, dated interiors needed a complete transformation.

We stripped away heavy stone columns and an imposing fireplace surround, replacing them with clean architectural finishes and a lighter, brighter palette that completely changed the character of the home. Custom walnut built-ins bring warmth to the contemporary interior while creating a thoughtful backdrop for the couple’s personal collections.

Rather than erase their more rustic sensibility, we incorporated subtle references to it throughout. Industrial and slightly steampunk-inspired pieces add personality and create an unexpected contrast against the home’s cleaner, more modern finishes. The result feels collected rather than decorated—a home that reflects both where the clients came from and the urban lifestyle they chose.

The primary bathroom underwent one of the most dramatic transformations in the home and was recognized with the ASID Colorado Crystal Award for Best Bathroom Remodel.
