Franklin Street

Franklin Street is situated on the east side of historic Washington Park, directly across from the lake. Our client sought a modern take on a Denver square to fit in with the neighborhood context. Scraping, reconceptualizing and rebuilding the home from scratch allowed us to expand the footprint from 1,200 sf to 3,200 sf. The floor plan is classic, with closed-off spaces devoted to each role. A formal dining room and sunroom are both open to the front porch covered by the full second-floor terrace. Influenced by the owners’ time living in Paris, a traditional butler’s pantry connects the dining room with a large, open chef’s kitchen. Here, and in the bathrooms, mudroom and bedrooms, modern materials make a statement on the cabinets, flooring and tiling. The living space extends into the basement with a mother-in-law suite, wine room, family room, craft room, and a secret door comprised of detailed millwork. From the facade, the home honors historic Denver architecture. Inside, traditional interior design elements unite modernity with timelessness.
