Denver Modern Homes

Though it’s not about Denver, the must-have coffee table book for any modern home (Denver and beyond) would be Barbara Bestor’s Bohemian Modern – Living In Silver Lake . This book is a fabulous collection of everything modern and is based in the birthplace of modern – Silver Lake, CA – a small, eclectic and unique community just outside Los Angeles. The book is a detailed tour of the modernist movement that Silver Lake encompasses.  The book is 300 pages of modern architecture, landscape architecture, remodeled homes, new homes, restaurants, cafes and artists. It is a journey through one communities modernist roots. If you have any interest in learning more about modern architecture this is THE handbook to get you up-to-speed.

The beautiful book also adds to an aesthetically-pleasing coffee table. Guaranteed every guest in your home will pick up this book and lose themselves on page 1. The book is overflowing with gorgeous pictures and details of every room in the house, yards of all sizes and in-depth interviews of great modern architects.

So as Denver moves into the Modern Architecture movement, will we one day soon have as beautiful a publication as BoMo – of course it will be named DenMo. Are you a DenMo?

P.S. You won’t find BoMo at the Tattered Cover but Amazon has plenty of copies and it only take a few days.

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.
