As projects grow in size, more and more details arise that are analyzed to ensure a complete design.  Located in one of the most historically prevalent districts of Denver, this project has become a strong design for Lifescape Associates’ portfolio.  The design reflects the Italian, Formal Garden with a Colorado twist.  A few of the great features are an indoor pool, dining/cooking area, private grotto terrace and new plants.

Plans, elevations and modeling software have been especially beneficial on this project.  The designers have collaborated with client, architect as well as the city board, requiring a variety of views for each participant. For example, below are a set of images that were quickly adjusted to explore the alternatives in the front facade; a) ornamental tree accents, b) evergreen tree screens, c) or a secret grove recess.
