Gaylord Residence
Originally built in 1941, the home sits among Denver's most celebrated historic estates—tree-lined streets where pre-1940s mansions reflect the city's architectural heritage. Semple Brown was engaged to transform this property into a modern expression of timeless elegance while preserving its historic character. With original architectural details including a carved limestone architrave, French blue tile roof, and wrought-iron balconettes, the exterior offered remarkable character that needed careful preservation. The material palette honors the home's architectural heritage with marble-cased openings, travertine floors, white herringbone oak flooring, and reeded oak paneling that add depth and rhythm throughout. Studio D Design led the interiors, layering refined finishes and custom details that recall the craftsmanship of a bygone era reimagined for contemporary living.
Working closely with Denver Landmark Preservation Commission, Semple Brown guided the project through the review process, ensuring that exterior additions and modifications respected the home's Italian heritage while accommodating contemporary needs. The architectural team reimagined the layout to create better flow and connectivity throughout the now 7,127 sq ft residence, addressing the previously disjointed floor plan while maintaining the home's historic integrity.

The comprehensive renovation blended the home's European sophistication with period-appropriate glamour. Semple Brown's design preserved the historic features while opening up interior spaces to enhance natural light and create a more cohesive spatial experience. The architectural interventions included structural modifications to support new openings and spatial relationships, as well as exterior additions that complement the original 1940s architecture.
