Many people can’t see beyond the current aesthetics when looking to buy a house, but this innovative couple recognized the good bones of their mid-century style home in Golden’s Applewood neighborhood and were determined to make the necessary updates to create the perfect space for their family.
In order to turn this older residence into a modern home that would meet the family’s current lifestyle, we replaced all the original windows with new, wood-clad black windows. The design of window is a nod to the home’s mid-century roots with modern efficiency and a polished appearance. We also wanted the interior of the home to feel connected to the awe-inspiring outside, so we opened up the main living area with a vaulted ceiling. To add a contemporary but sleek look to the fireplace, we crafted the mantle out of cold rolled steel. The texture of the cold rolled steel conveys a natural aesthetic and pairs nicely with the walnut mantle we built to cap the steel, uniting the design in the kitchen and the built-in entryway.
Everyone at Factor developed rich relationships with this beautiful family while collaborating through the design and build of their freshly renovated, contemporary home. We’re grateful to have the opportunity to work with such amazing people, creating inspired spaces that enhance the quality of their lives.

. This kitchen received a Sub-Zero/Wolf Regional Award for Kitchen Design, recognized for its thoughtful integration of materials, innovation, and performance. Designed for a science-minded client, the space features a dramatic cantilevered black granite island, warm flat-panel cabinetry, and floating shelves set against natural stone walls. A trey ceiling and sculptural pendant lighting add architectural rhythm, while concealed Sub-Zero appliances and stainless steel elements enhance functionality without visual clutter. The result is a refined, modern kitchen that balances technical precision with timeless materiality—crafted for both everyday use and elegant entertaining.

This highly customized kitchen was designed to be not only beautiful, but functional as well. The custom cabinetry offers plentiful storage and the built in appliances create a seamless functionality within the space. The choice of caesar stone countertops, mosaic backsplash, and wood cabinetry all work together to create a beautiful kitchen.
