Mid Century Modern Remodel

This 1955 , Old North Boulder home carried the kind of architectural character you simply don’t recreate. From the beginning, the goal of this Boulder home remodel was not to erase its history, but to honor it.

We partnered closely with the homeowners to curate a Mid-Century Modern aesthetic that felt authentic to the era while supporting their current lifestyle. The design leaned into clean lines, rich materials, and intentional restraint. Sleek walnut cabinetry became the foundation, paired with black and chrome accents for contrast and subtle sophistication.

Handcrafted Taj Mahal honed countertops added warmth and an earthy, organic quality that softened the modern edges. Every selection was made to feel cohesive, preserving the soul of the home while elevating it for daily living.

Functionality and spaciousness were the primary drivers of the build. As a design build Boulder team, we reworked the layout to create better flow through the kitchen, laundry, mini-mudroom, bathroom, and secondary bedrooms. Opening these spaces allowed the home to breathe while maintaining its mid-century integrity.

Custom walnut elements, including a built-in dining table, floating bench, and integrated shelving were thoughtfully crafted to echo the cabinetry and create continuity throughout the interior. These pieces not only enhance the design language but also add purposeful, everyday usability.

New windows and doors introduced abundant natural light while improving energy efficiency, calling our Passive Haus certification into play. Sustainability remained top of mind throughout the project, from material selection to execution, ensuring the home performs as beautifully as it looks.

The result is a Boulder home remodel that feels timeless, a respectful evolution of a 1950s classic, designed and built to serve this family for decades to come.
