Incredible views. Like many of our clients this couple lived much of their life in the city. When they started thinking about retirement the Bayfield area was a perfect fit! Nestled in the trees north of Bayfield this new custom home will fulfill their dream. We are even including an endless pool so they can swim for exercise without even leaving the house. Another fine design/build project that we are proud to take on.
Stunning views! That is what drew this family to want to build here. Situated high on a hilltop overlooking Navajo lake the views are amazing. You can see for miles in every direction. The cabin will be a second home and will be compact in size to keep maintenance to a minimum. With covered patios on both sides they can take in the view in the sun or shade anytime they want. Another fun project for some great clients!
I just love the creative design build process. This custom home is another great example. When we can work together with the client and the architect from the very beginning it makes for a fun project. Watching and guiding the design process brings out our creativity. Of course it takes a team effort to end up with the design our client wants within their budget. It really is a fun process. Now we get to build it!
Custom timber frame home. This beautiful home sits in Forest Groves subdivision high above the Florida river. It is a mountain setting on a fairly steep lot. The slope of the lot dictated that this home would be built with a separate detached garage. The home itself is 2240 square ft. and the 2 car garage is oversized slightly. Completed in 2010 this home shows off a craftsman style with cedar siding, rough sawn beam trusses and stone. Inside features a gas fireplace surrounded by stone and the great room has all T&G stained wood ceiling. Heating is accomplished using a 93% efficient forced air system. Interior doors and trim are all clear pine stained to blend with the rest of the house. These clients where a pleasure to work with and we all had fun building their house.
These clients had already built their retirement home and were ready for a Southwest Adobe Guesthouse that could also serve as a caretaker’s home. This project is unique in the fact that the house is built using “earth blocks”. This is a type of construction similar to adobe and one that we hadn’t been involved with before. Because our clients built their other home this way they knew the right subcontractor to use for that portion. Situated on the La Plata river south west of Colorado this home gets plenty of sunshine. The southwest style home shows that style inside and out. True plaster walls on the inside, tile counters and the trim materials all show a Mexican theme. The house is heated using radiant in-floor that is heated using solar panels. This system is unbelievably efficient. Certainly one of the most unique homes that we have built. Another example of why we love our design/build process. A true custom home like no other in Durango.
Custom large cedar deck at Mancos, Colorado vacation home. Custom hickory cabinets and custom milled rails for staircase.
We should have known that One Silverton custom home wouldn’t be enough. Silverton is a beautiful mountain town and it seems the secret is out. When we started on the Murphy protect it didn’t take long for another new client to find us. This couple has been visiting Silverton for many years and are looking forward to their new custom home. This one is starting out as a large garage with an apartment above. The long term plan is to build an attached custom home. For now the smaller home will make a great place to live! It is fun to work for good people who appreciate what we do. I think we have the best clients around!
Multi-generational custom family home. This client is another example of our first time clients becoming lifetime clients. We built the Jensen residence on this property a couple of years ago. Now it is time for Their Mother to join them on the property. This amazing multi generational family will each have their own custom home built right on the farm. Bayfield, CO is a great place to live and work and I’m proud to be building for this family again!
Right at the edge of town in Beautiful Silverton Colorado is the location for this new custom vacation home. Our clients have built a few houses before in other places and really enjoy the process. So when it was time to build their vacation home in Silverton it was only natural that they chose the builder that “makes the process fun” We love getting to build in some incredible places. The views in Silverton are just awesome. We look forward to this home taking shape.
When you have toys and equipment to store you need a large Barn/Shop. This is just such a building. Located in the east Animas valley north of Durango. The building is being constructed into the hillside so the foundation footings and walls are massive since they also serve as retaining walls. When finished the shop will have 16′ ceilings, 14′ tall overhead doors and a drain in the slab. The exterior will have metal siding so it will stand up to the elements with no maintenance needed. There should be plenty of room for all of the toys!
