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.
