Situated in the heart of Denver on a quiet corner in the Sloan Lake District, a newly built three-story contemporary home provides a serene, light-filled oasis for a young family of four. Our clients came to us wanting their new build to reflect their modern style, with indoor and outdoor amenities. The young couple wanted a home to raise their kids in while hosting parties and events easily indoors or out. Shape Architects designed the contemporary new build new to offer copious amounts of natural light with floor-to-ceiling glass windows flanking the family room fireplace and vaulted ceilings. A wall of sliding glass doors off the kitchen and dining room encourages indoor-outdoor living while providing views of the pool, backyard, and lake. Halax Interiors designed the interior of the home with no detail left untouched. A cohesive color palette can be found throughout the house, with soft whites, blues, and warmth from oak tones. The bathroom and kitchen designs offer texture with zellige tiles and a soothing color palette of custom oak cabinetry. Pops of color can be found throughout the home, from subtle notes of wallpaper, wall treatment, and custom millwork designs. 

Home amenities include ample space on the main level for hosting parties while also offering intimate family settings. The home architecture's open layout, clean structural lines, and minimal environmental footprint provide lake views,  a harmonious retreat from bustling city life.
