B+Y
began in Denver in
1989 focusing on
architecture.
Since then, we have extended our practice to include
neighborhood and town
planning. Our breadth
of experience enables us to work on projects that re-define the
possibilities of
neighborhood design.
B+Y’s
architectural work includes a wide range of housing types, from
speculative attached
and detached
homes to custom
homes and mixed-use projects.
Our knowledge of construction scheduling and the cost effectiveness of our
construction specifications enable
B+Y
to design successful market rate homes.
Historic
styling using precedents from Denver’s
past has provided inspiration for large custom projects.
Our homes
enhance the livability of communities. This might include adding front
porches, 9’ tree lawns and accessing alleys from the rear. Livable floor
plans are a major consideration. Our plans are designed to accommodate the
variety lifestyles in a diverse
marketplace. Interior plans flow
easily, accommodating a wide range of activities. Furniture placement and
storage are always carefully defined.
We work
closely with jurisdictions and developers to create
livable communities.
Jurisdictions recognize quality design. For this reason
B+Y’s
design combined with our zoning and planning knowledge expedites the
entitlement process. This emphasis on quality has also led to the
preparation of design guidelines
for developments and jurisdictions.
Recent
mixed-use
plans include
parks,
town centers,
schools
and churches.
Careful consideration is always given to the relationship between the house
and the site. Analysis of street sections provides information about sight
lines, street widths and distance between private and public sectors. Our
experience has shown the benefits of a thorough examination of a site, from
the broadest to the most detailed planning considerations. |
