Fantastic Finishes on a Contemporary Denver Duplex
The speculative duplex that we designed for Mike Magner at Kate Bohen is just about complete. Beth Freeman and I swung by last week to check out the finishes that the owner’s selected. They really look great and I wanted to share some of the pictures.
While we were there Kate mentioned that they are almost [...]

Pouring the Detached Garage Slab at the Magner Duplex
I went over to the Magner Duplex at 23rd and Lowell in Denver to do a rebar inspection prior to the pour on the detached garage slab.

The International Residential Code requires that in townhomes and duplexes, each unit needs to be separated from the next by fire walls. In addition each unit needs to be self supporting where the collapse of one unit will not damage the neighboring unit.
In my experience the best way to make this work is with a [...]
