One of the projects highlighted in the article is The Onyx, a mixed-use building located on the edge of Boulder's downtown district. 

"Adaptive reuse and urban infill in the downtown area are the main opportunities for development. The Onyx, designed by local firm Harvey M. Hine Architecture + Interiors (HMH), is a three story, 25,000-square-foot mixed-use building featuring six residential lofts over street level commercial space. Sited on the zero-setback 15th Street, it received the 2009 AIA Colorado North Chapter Merit Award for Interiors. Two other downtown projects are in the offing."

"Where will Boulder be in 10 years? Harvey Hine, AIA, HMH's founding partner, expects it won't look "a whole lot different than it looks now. Most of the design work will be in renovation and not new construction. Some old shopping centers will be redeveloped, hopefully into mixed-use." His partner, Cherie Goff, AIA, is hoping for more density and infill. "I think these are the only long term ways to address growth without sprawl.""

"This house in Colorado uses stucco for most of the exterior walls, as well as a solid wall that defines the front of the property. But note the wall that bisects the house; this wall continues inside to become an "art wall." It takes on further significance by being of a different texture and color than the white stucco walls."

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:

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!

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.”"

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. 

Here is Norman after the workshop as he helped the photographers by critiquing the photos taken.
