Zaga Design Group

We recently completed a side addition with partial two-story expansion to a historic home in Denver’s Berkeley neighborhood, where honoring the original architecture was central to the design. The existing 2,400 sf residence was originally built in 1891 and features a distinctive two-story turret, which the clients were committed to preserving and complementing. In response, we designed the addition with a smaller, balanced turret form that echoes the character of the original home while creating a seamless architectural conversation between old and new.
The addition includes 675 sf of new man-level space, 300 sf on the second floor, and 675 sf in the basement, and introduces a new primary suite with an attached office located within the new turret space. A new upper-level flex room was also incorporated to provide long-term adaptability as the family’s needs evolve. We also designed a new outdoor kitchen and living area at the rear of the home to extend the living experience outdoors. We were proud to bring this project to life in collaboration with Grove Remodeling, which resulted in a playful yet respectful expansion that celebrates the home’s historic roots while supporting modern living.
