With a client passionate about moving to Denver’s River North Art District, also know as RiNo, local boutique design firm Davis Urban and builder Sean Smith Construction knew they had to produce a modern home that fit its unique neighborhood and owner.

The Curtis Park Residence features several unexpected details not found in typical single-family homes. Of the most notable, a cargo net was added to discovered space in the two-story steel stair that leads from the mudroom, dog run entry, and garage to the second-floor roof deck and guest suite on the alley side of the lot. The playful element creates a nest-like lounge for the client’s daughters and gives them a quiet place to relax with a book or movie.

In addition to the rope hangout, an adjacent roof deck with a sculpted and illuminated rolling hill of turf provides an area for lounging in the sun or stargazing. “These elements of the house reflect a great utilization of space, as well as the overall comfort of “home” in this urban setting,” says the firm.
