The Orchard House is the 2010 American Institute of Architects Honor Award winner for Design Excellence and will be featured in the 2013 Modern Home Tour on October 12. This beautiful ranch situated on a secluded 3/4 acre site, is fully landscaped with beautiful perennial gardens, tranquil koi pond and numerous private patios. The design maximizes outdoor connections, cross ventilation and passive solar exposure. The home is essentially five principal south facing rooms, each with their own outdoor patios linked by exterior and interior circulation. A cedar ceiling accentuates the shed roof that covers the living and master bedroom wing. South facing glass doors and clerestory windows allow winter sunlight to warm both the floor and the honed concrete masonry mass wall that helps heat the living space. Designed with lots of natural daylight and connection to nature. The original cost to purchase and improve the land, build the home and landscape was $950,000.00. Neighborhood Description The home is situationed close to open space parks, is a fifteen minute drive to downtown Denver and walking distance to Light Rail.
