Boulder Architect: Creating site-specific residential designs
Building or renovating a home in Boulder or elsewhere in Colorado can be complex due to strict zoning regulations and ambitious energy-efficiency requirements. For example, the city of Boulder and Boulder County take different approaches: the city relies on property-based zoning rules that control size, shape, solar impact, and energy standards, while the county evaluates designs more subjectively through Site Review to ensure homes fit seamlessly into the landscape. Both prioritize energy efficiency and net-zero standards, with requirements scaling to the size of the home.
Hiring a skilled Boulder architect, like cgmodern architecture, is essential for navigating these regulations, optimizing your design, and ensuring every construction dollar is well spent. We tackle challenges creatively, maximize energy efficiency, and guide decisions within the area’s complex rules. With over 20 years of experience designing homes in Boulder, we help clients manage these complexities and create custom homes that enhance their Boulder lifestyle.
Whether you’re building in the city of Boulder, Boulder County, or elsewhere in Colorado, cgmodern is an experienced Boulder architect ready to guide you through the process.

Kind words from clients
“Cherie is talented, patient, and able to communicate her ideas clearly as well as understand ours. She is an excellent listener and was somehow able to translate our confusing and messy requirements into a spectacular home. She helped us determine what would work best on our parcel and then she helped all the way through the construction management. We wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to use her again, or recommend her to anyone considering a build or a remodel.”
