2629 18th street is a 3268 s.f.single family detached house in the heart of the LoHi neighborhood of Denver. The house is situated 2 ½ blocks from the new pedestrian bridge that connects the Highlands to Lower Down Town. This neighborhood is the most pedestrian friendly in the city with parks, museums, shopping and restaurants within blocks. The house is organized around an exterior deck that will provide a private outdoor eating area off the kitchen and provide an opportunity to allow light to enter into the center of the house without compromising privacy. Going from the 2 car garage to kitchen is only a few steps and again to the living room a few more steps. This “barbell,” effect allows the master bedroom, living room and the dining/front entry to take the whole width of the building making the most of a narrow site. The site itself will be almost entirely hardscaped making it very low maintenance. The landscaping that will be provided will be drought tolerant and will be fed by a drip irrigation system
