Grand Opening


Recently Standard Pacific Homes of Colorado opened a new project in the heart of Lowry, within the City of Denver. We worked with Standard Pacific for almost 18 months on this project, from initial conception, to project approvals and finally construction documents. We were responsible for the entire site design, streetscape renderings, and landscape design. At only 20 homes, this community is sure to be a quick sellout. Indeed it opened to strong reviews.


This is a project of small homes on small lots, designed for low maintenance living. The lots are approximately 36 feet wide by 85 feet deep. The lots can be small for this front, since they are accross the street from a community park. A driving design feature, was the desire to create outdoor living spaces. We incorporated use easements, where one homeowner gets the use of the side yard of the adjacent home. Careful attention was paid to the design of the homes themselves to ensure that windows do not face onto adjacent courtyards. We are proud of this design, and look forward to repeating it in other infill developments.
