House Rennovation
Villa Park House
Denver, CO
The Villa Park house was originally build back in the 1950’s. This house needed quite a bit of work including all new windows and doors, modifications to interior walls, new plumbing all new finishes, and landscaping. Below is a breakout of different areas of the house including before and afters, as well as construction drawings when needed.

Front Porch Rehab
The exterior of this property was covered by windows with security bars, doors with double locks and porches hidden from the neighborhood.. Our goal was to open up the porches, enlarge windows and bring as much natural light into the space that we could. Starting at the front porch, the house now feels approachable.
Main Bathroom Transformation
The main bathroom was in deparate need of a refresh however thecurrent footprint didnn’t leave much space for improvement. To gain square footage, we decided to relocate the entrance to the room rotating it 90 degrees and consuming what currently was an additional linen closet and hallway. For a better understanding around the adjustments, see the plans below. The additional space allowed us to fit a vanity twice the size of the original adding counterspace as well as additional storage. Added features such as wainscoting, wall sconces, reclaimed wood hangers and a geometric shaped mirror add layers and depth to the space.
Back Porch Addition
This house featured a back porch addition that was added back in the 1990’s and it showed. Between the multiple doors, green shag carpet and honey lacquered wood this space needed a new look. To start we closed up the unneeded door. We doubled the size of all the windows and replaced the remaining solid wood door with full glass french doors to let the light pour in. To modernize the space we added beadboard to the ceiling and wallpapered the back wall. In addition, new engineered flooring was installed and flowed out of the porch and throughout the back stairs up into the kitchen and down to the basement unifying those spaces.
Kitchen Transformation
The kitchen is located in the middle of the house making it all the more important to assure it is open to the rooms in front and behind it as much as possible to let natural light into the space. When approaching the redesign of this space we wanted to remove any walls that didn’t have a cabinet on them, open up case openings and doorways as much as possible and replace the upper cabinets with floating shelfs (made out of the fake ceiling beams in the basement) and tile to create a more open feel that reflected light throughout the room.
