Bruce Randolph Residences
These two, “Build-to-Rent”, ground up homes in Denver’s Cole neighborhood take advantage of a seldom-used building form from the Denver Zoning Code: the “Tandem House”. The Tandem House Form allows for 2 full-size single-family homes, at the front and rear of the property. Upon study and site analysis with the ownership group it was determined that this path was more desirable than a duplex, the other allowed building form in this district. The project replaces a derelict, “outlier” home which sat back an overly large distance from the street and didn’t do much for the neighborhood. In it’s final form, the project presents an alternative to rental apartment living, while still in the city and near downtown and multiple transit sources; a novel offering of a high-quality rental housing option, a small step toward filling the “missing middle” of housing supply.
The design approach references the historic “Denver Square” form in planning and massing, and the two homes take on a nuanced difference in their architectural vocabulary, rendering the rear home in brick and parapet roof, as a surprising discovery while the front home is stucco and more true to the hipped roof form of this historic precedent. Each is pared down to the essence of form and materials and carries contemporary steel detailing in front porches and trellises on the site.

The project, in total, provides two 6-bedroom homes, each with a full kitchen, living room, dining, and den. Both provide ample private as well as shareable outdoor spaces, and 2-car onsite detached garages.
Simplicity at Every Turn
Embracing an inclusive ethos, Hurley Place positions itself with the river as its focal point, inviting diverse communities and fostering economic vibrancy. The Riverfront development is comprised of two residential towers, a hotel tower, and an expansive central open space connecting to the river. This central connector is flanked by food & beverage and retail establishments and serves as both a connection to the Promenade but also a gathering space for the community.
