DAVIS URBAN — Roxborough Park, CO

The House at Roxborough Park was designed first and foremost to celebrate the unique landscape, but equally important was to tread lightly on this magnificent setting. The design process began with a detailed site survey by the design team to identify prominent rock formations below the site, as well as significant vegetation, which included several 150-year-old cedar trees. The team then crafted the program into a form that allowed minimal foundations and crawl spaces. The arrival sequence is through a bridge form between two grounded forms that hovers over prominent rock formations, allowing guests arriving to both appreciate the outcropping below, but also the breathtaking rock formations beyond.
