Creekside Courtyard

Eldorado Springs, Colorado
Completed in 2005

With beautiful views of the iconic Boulder Flatirons and Eldorado Canyon, two courtyards anchor this Creekside Courtyard home in place: one opening to the southern sun, the other to dappled cottonwood shade along the churning creek.

Architecturally, the thick ­walled home utilizes recycled content insulated concrete forms (ICF’s) to achieve energy efficient stability in a highly wind prone location. Colorful stucco walls add energy to outdoor rooms, while weathered corrugated steel and cement speak to the geological color palette that surrounds and inspires the home.
