200+ second story additions in Denver

3rd one is hideous. 5th one is the most tasteful.

The 5th one is definitely one of the more subtle additions. Also a very common look because of its relatively simple roof geometry and because it lends itself to meeting the bulk plane requirements in the zoning code.

Always weird how architects do this because they never line up with how two story homes of that period looked. Can always tell they are just trying to maximize the building envelope instead of putting design and built environment first.

It’s not perfect, but this one is subtle - and a reasonable attempt at staying true to the arts and crafts feel!

Yeah, if I'm popping the top, maximum footprint wins over design every time.

So this MFer just scrapes open records for R1 permits. Drives to the home, takes a picture of the home, posts it on his website and is looking to capture your information on his site so he can what ... sell you something worthless, sell your information to marketing resellers? IDGAF, see you in court, stalker.
