Displaying an original contemporary architecture, the 33rd Avenue house is an elongated residence located in Denver’s LoHi neighborhood, in Colorado, USA. Meridian 105 Architecture
had to come up with a creative plan for minimizing the effects of heavy
traffic in the area and the salvaging idea was to raise the entire
first floor of the project to nearly six inches above the sidewalk. This
resulted in a partially submerged garden level offering a high amount
of privacy.
The main level accommodates the kitchen, dining, and living spaces and
the upper floor contains a master suite with access to an exterior roof
terrace: “With downtown skyline views to the South, the upper volume
of the home was shifted toward the rear to create the roof deck. Its
peaked roof responds to the City’s zoning requirements for bulk plane
and height, and fits appropriately with the surrounding neighborhood
context“. Two additional bedrooms reside in the partially submerged
lower level, as can be observed in the architecture plans at the end of
the post. [Photography: Raul J. Garcia]
