But after climbing a ladder and looking toward the mountains one day, the couple decided to build a second story to capture Front Range views and create a spacious master suite.

When it comes to building in established neighborhoods, our team can’t be beat for successfully navigating the historic review process and maximizing small spaces in a tasteful way.

The garage door provides easy access to the private deck and encourages indoor-outdoor living. The guest house addition, and remodeled outdoor living spaces on the main home, create one cohesive design.

Inside the main-floor addition, the master bedroom is roomy and comfortable, yet fits the modest scale of this one-story home in Old Town Fort Collins.

“A core goal was to maintain as much of the Queen Anne-style cottage’s original character as possible, while blending the owners’ love of light modern design,” says HighCraft’s Kira Koldeway.

Read about the homeowner’s remodeling story, and our team’s careful salvaging work, in the Fort Collins magazine feature story “Cottage Heart, Modern Soul.”
