Jim Broaddus is a reader of Denver Modern, and an avid fan of modernism in general. Here’s his new web site covering modern architecture in Boulder. You’re off to a great start Jim!

Jessica Fasick dropped me a line this morning about this Charles Haertling designed gem in boulder. Thanks Jessica!. The home is for sale through Walnut Realty, with more details here. Tom Kahn and his crew were kind enough to lend me this fabulous picture of the property. This home is both architecturally significant, and pure eye candy to look at. Simply beautiful.

Check this out. The TrailerWrap project was a University of Colorado endeavor that redefines the ubiquitous perception of trailer park living. More pictures can be found here.

In case you missed it in today’s Rocky Mountain News, here is a link to an article on Boulder’s most unique architect:

Outside the Box

Haertling’s work can also be found outside of Boulder.  The bulk of his work is in Boulder, however, where he not only created truly unique structures, but invested himself in the community and worked to preserve its open space.
