They made a fine team.
"Our whole promise was: Could we do a cool, energy-efficient modern home and do it modular?" says Brad Tomecek, 35, an architect with Boulder-based Studio H:T. "The answer is 'yes.' "
Take a walk through Brad and Christa Tomecek's sleek 2,700-square-foot Barvista Homes house, in the Highland neighborhood northwest of Lower Downtown, and your preconceived notions of what a factory-built home looks like are dashed. Forget safe, neutral- toned Formica and standard finishes. The kitchen features bold black granite countertops, a colorful glass mosaic backsplash, stainless steel appliances and bamboo flooring.
Black-stained wooden stair risers and a smooth drywall finish add to the contemporary look.
Even the master bathroom is chic, with a riverstone shower basin, ceramic denim-colored tiles and black flooring.
