Felsted
Our clients, long-time Denver residents, had a deep love for the East Coast and the open-air feel found in Newport and the villages along Cape Cod. They found a wonderful site in Cherry Hills Village where we could bring this inspiration to life. Starting with a flagpole greeting you in the front, a sight line guides you through the open door and beyond. The yard, filled with a carefully curated selection of flowers and ornamentals, is lovingly tended to from the cottage with an adjoining greenhouse.
During the design process, we were intoxicated by the significance of the Dutch gambrel roof. Our studies of Newport houses and the works of McKim, Mead, & White helped us appreciate the freedom of the American shingle style. It was this sense of freedom from which Felsted was born. Sitting on its parcel in Cherry Hills, this home’s sense of breeziness is an invitation. We anticipate generations of enjoyment within these walls.
