Studio B Architects — Boulder, Colorado, 2014

Parkside Villa is a minimal, modern residence completed by Studio B Architects in Boulder, Colorado in 2014. The project centers on the transformation of an existing home, with the original foundation retained but all spatial and material aspects reworked for contemporary family living. Located within an established neighborhood, the redesign focused on clarity, light, and proportion, seeking to create meaningful connections between interior and exterior while respecting the established site. The approach prioritized spatial subtraction and refinement instead of expansion, recentering shared spaces as the organizational core and strengthening axial relationships throughout the plan. Circulation was simplified to support everyday use and a collection of art. The architecture is characterized by horizontal massing, linear brick, Thermory wood cladding, steel details, and extensive glazing responding to Colorado’s climate and light conditions. Outdoor living areas extend the domestic environment and preserve a strong connection to the landscape. Interior spaces feature walnut millwork, layered natural materials, custom built-ins, and integrated lighting, with material transitions kept quiet and intentional. Environmental performance was addressed through a rooftop photovoltaic array, battery backup, upgraded envelope, and efficient mechanical systems, embedding sustainability within the home’s restrained, modern language.
