Architect Laurence “Renzo” Verbeck, principal of Verbeck Design Studios, Inc, designed this 8,900 sq ft contemporary home for Lindsay/Sheafor. Renzo received his Bachelors of Environmental design from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Renzo uses his foundation in design, woodworking and sculpting, combined with his innovative ideas, to create homes of unparalleled beauty. He has incorporated “green architecture” where ever possible and has completed many “off-the-grid” projects.

This modern home is located in the foothills of Boulder, Colorado. Nestled in the natural, surrounding landscape results in a peaceful co-existence of a thoroughly modern comfortable home with the rugged beauty of the mountains. Renzo and his clients worked together to create a unique and exciting living space. Their combined efforts discovered many innovative an artistic design features. Some of these include a gourmet kitchen and wine cellar, furniture (designed by Renzo), lighting fixtures, plaster and colors, tiles and stone, hardwood flooring (reclaimed from railroad ties from Asia), luminous resin composites for counter tops and bars, and all of the woodwork.

In addition to a movie theater and two master suites, this house has a 900 sq ft atrium as its focal point. Landscaped with vegetation and boulders salvaged from the site, as well as a gentle two-story waterfall that tumbles through a pond dancing with lighted treads of a metal-framed staircase.
