Originally built in the late 1800s, this home is one of the oldest standing properties in Fort Collins. While full of historic charm and character, its layout no longer served the needs of a growing family. The owners came to us to expand their living space and reimagine the flow of the home to better suit both everyday life and entertainment.

Our design approach was to respect the home’s heritage, while unlocking its full potential for 21st-century living. We opened up the interior to create a more functional, family-focused layout. One of the most transformative elements was reorienting the living spaces to embrace the property’s large backyard and the natural stream beyond, aspects that were previously hidden from the main living areas.

On the second floor, we added two new bedrooms, carefully designed to blend seamlessly with the original architecture. The result is a home that honors its history while providing the space, flow, and comfort for the family.
