The architects and interior designer at HMH Architecture + Interiors recently designed a new modern home in Boulder, CO that is currently under construction. 

When completed it will be a 3,500 s.f., 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom house with a 2 car garage. 

Just a couple of weeks ago this home was a hole in the ground. The construction is going very fast!

Today when we went by they were putting up the trusses:

"With an eight year history of incredible success, Design After Dark underscores our community's creative talent. Leading design firms, emerging architects and artists, and a wide range of creative individuals and teams construct innovative one-of-a-kind objects to be auctioned off at the end of the night.

A luxe silent auction offers top-of-the line furnishings and decor, delectable dinners, and other packages. A diverse array of food and drink is served to a beautifully dressed crowd, while an unforgettable image and soundscape delights those enjoying the art and the ambience.

Join a community interested in the power of design. This event supports the Denver Art Museum and advances the dialogue of design in our region."

Our piece was a joint effort between many artists including Nanette Beall- Textile Artist, Jessica and Malcom of Living Design Studios in Boulder and HMH Architecture + Interiors. 

What a Tangled Web we Weave

"We are all tangled in political, economic, religious, social and personal webs. The fabric of life is not always easy, pretty or kind."

HMH Architecture + Interiors had a great time participating and attending the annual Design After Dark event. We hope to see all of you there next year!

HMH designed Boulder Modern Net Zero Home and HMH Architecture + Interiors was recently featured in the article "Mid-Century Makes a Modern Comeback" in the Winter 2012 edition of Boulder County Home and Garden Magazine. 

From the article:

"Boulder County boasts a fair number of Mid-Century homes, although many were not custom and incorporated prefabricated components such as standard windows, trusses and cabinets, and pre-hung doors. 

Mid-Century homes were still unprecedented, however, and deceptively simple. Mid-Century design “appealed to many people, because it was a reaction against the glut of detail and ornamentation,” says architect Harvey Hine, owner of HMH Architecture & Interiors in Boulder. The county’s original Mid-Century homes were typically smaller than 1,000 square feet and contained a multiuse area in which the living room spilled into the dining room. Relative to the multiuse area, the scale of the other rooms was smaller."

"Although the county’s original Mid-Century homes broke new ground, the technology to make them energy efficient was lacking. “Basic Mid-Century homes had very thin roof lines, with practically no insulation,” Hine says. “The low ceilings were not good for maintaining temperature. The large, original, clear-glass windows let in a lot of light, but allowed a lot of heat to escape. While it was a cool style, the original homes were impractical.”"

"Nostalgia is another facet of Mid-Century’s appeal, architects say. Older people commissioning new Mid-Century homes often want to re-create the types of homes they knew when they were children.

 Mid-Century also complements many people’s lifestyles, Hine says: “We want smaller homes with more of a transparent and open plan, and we want less stuff in those rooms.”"

HMH Architecture and Interiors enjoys designing buildings in a variety of environments. Recently we photographed a project designed by HMH Architecture + Interiors that is located in the mountains of Colorado. This cabin uses a modern vocabulary that works very well in a mountain setting.

Check out the new photos of the amazing transformation of an existing Boulder house into an artful modern home. 

A well planned remodel can transform your house into the home of your dreams. The Rheingold remodel is a great example of working within the exterior walls  of an existing home and changing it to work for a busy family. 

The couple wanted a more open floor plan so they could keep an eye on their children while they prepare meals. HMH stategically removed walls and designed a modern kitchen, work area, pantry and powder room. 

The result was a modern home with an open floor plan that supports the busy family lifestyle. 

Photos of the Rheingold Residence are posted under the "Remodel" tab of our website.
