Residential

Located just south of downtown Buena Vista and east of Hwy 20, this 1.15-acre site is designed for 14 single-family narrow lot homes (25’x125’ sites), offering an efficient and sustainable housing solution. Each middle lot features homes with a consistent 18.5-foot width, while larger homes grace the corners of the block, adding variety and architectural interest to the streetscape. The homes are market-rate but emphasize energy-efficient design, integrating modern technologies and features that reduce energy consumption and enhance comfort for residents.

The project’s goal was to create a fun, dynamic streetscape that celebrates material and color diversity on the exteriors, while maintaining energy efficiency through similar floor plans. With construction approximately 50% completed, the development is already showcasing its ability to deliver stylish, energy-efficient homes that provide long-term savings for homeowners. This design approach demonstrates how thoughtful planning and sustainable building practices can create attractive, vibrant neighborhoods that stand out for both their aesthetic appeal and environmental responsibility.

The Mountain View Community Homes project for Habitat for Humanity Metro Denver offers a compassionate solution to housing for families in need, featuring thoughtfully designed duplexes that provide 20 affordable homes. The development goes beyond offering shelter by incorporating a vibrant community garden, fostering connections among residents and promoting a sustainable lifestyle. This shared space allows families to bond, cultivate their own gardens, and engage in a sense of community, making it a cornerstone of the project’s mission.

With a focus on functional design and affordability, Mountain View Community Homes integrates modern aesthetics with a warm, community-centered environment. The project not only provides safe, quality housing but also supports long-term social well-being. By combining innovative architecture with a deep commitment to community development, this project stands as a model for affordable housing solutions that nurture residents and create lasting positive impact. Mountain View Community Homes is a powerful example of how thoughtful design can uplift families and create sustainable, connected communities.
