Traditional Family Room Design Photos with a Home Bar

Penza Bailey Architects was contacted to update the main house to suit the next generation of owners, and also expand and renovate the guest apartment. The renovations included a new mudroom and playroom to accommodate the couple and their three very active boys, creating workstations for the boys’ various activities, and renovating several bathrooms. The awkwardly tall vaulted ceilings in the existing great room and dining room were scaled down with lowered tray ceilings, and a new fireplace focal point wall was incorporated in the great room. In addition to the renovations to the focal point of the home, the Owner’s pride and joy includes the new billiard room, transformed from an underutilized living room. The main feature is a full wall of custom cabinetry that hides an electronically secure liquor display that rises out of the cabinet at the push of an iPhone button. In an unexpected request, a new grilling area was designed to accommodate the owner’s gas grill, charcoal grill and smoker for more cooking and entertaining options. This home is definitely ready to accommodate a new generation of hosting social gatherings.

This is the 2009 Metro Denver HBA "Raising the Bar" award winning "Custom Home of the Year" and "Best Urban in-fill Home of the Year". This custom residence was sits on a hillside with amazing views of Boulder's Flatirons mountain range in the scenic Chautauqua neighborhood. The owners wanted to be able to enjoy their mountain views and Sopris helped to create a living space that worked to synergize with the outdoors and wrapped the spaces around an amazing water feature and patio area.
