Collins Residence
Boulder, COThe Collins residence features a 180 degree view of the Cities of Boulder, Denver, Longmont as well as the plains. The solution settles the home into the steep slope, while protecting the very special natural rock formations. Dr. Collins wanted a modern "organic" home with a free form feeling, but with a strong underlying structure. The design which evolved is a two level "organic" structure with a round central atrium from which three, large diamond-shaped petals radiate. Each petal module contains a particular major function of the home. Each petal module has a separate roof, which looks like an up-turned leaf.
