Creek
The Beauty
We are proud of every home we’ve ever built. Here is an example of how the challenge of living next to a creek was turned into a powerful advantage of design and harmony.
The property located at 326 W 19th sits next to Wagg Creek. This creek runs south through city land which doubles as a park and towards the south tip of the plot shimmies and bends westward. This bend introduced several design challenges, including a building “no-go zone” on nearly a quarter of the property.
To accommodate this we had two conventional options: downsize the building or have an obscure-looking wall at the southeast corner of the building. Neither option was appealing, so we went back to the drawing board. Certain elements were ruled as critical:
- Necessary environmental protection around the southeast corner of the plot
- Not compromising the building’s shape with obscure walls and features
- Building a dwelling area that embraced the scenery of the park surrounding the creek
The solution presented itself as a symphony of harmony: what if we pushed back the building envelope, creating a large front yard, and blending the backyard into the parkside? By embracing the natural restrictions instead as elements of the design, and redesigning almost every square foot of the original plans, we created a home that is functional, spacious and beautiful. Every interior and exterior space blends and flows naturally to the next, and ultimately to the outside creek and park.
This is building at its finest, when every element comes together to make one beautiful home.
