Nora Private Residence
Westcliffe, Colorado - Completed in 2008 An addition to an existing residence located in Westcliffe, Colorado. The client wanted an octagonal-shape addition, with emphasis on the south-west views. Working with Luis O. Acosta for LOA Architects, we developed a physical model to study the new massing (pictures above). From that, we created a 3-D model to study the details, interiors and sun/shadow movements. The project was built and finished in fall of 2008.
