West Standard Design Build has been commissioned to design and build a single-family residence in the Washington Park neighborhood of Central Denver. The Mid-Century Modern inspired home was initially conceived as a single-story with a full basement. However, the geotechnical study revealed a high water table, thus eliminating the possibility of economically constructing a basement. As a solution we raised the home about 2′ above grade. We were then able to take advantage of the rearward sloping lot, and add a 1000sf walk-out piece to the aft of the home. The result is that we were able to maintain the intended single-story aesthetic while gaining the necessary square-footage required by our clients. Here are some early renderings of the project.
