Studio HT Architecture, The Shield House, Denver, Colorado
The Shield House located in Denver, Colorado is an urban infill project designed by Studio H:T. This 3,0000 square foot residence was designed with privacy in mind; a large wall provides shielding from an adjacent three story property. A tall, slender curved metal wall juxtaposes against a rectangular living space. The curve shield is necessary to provide privacy from the decks of the adjacent triplex, but it also acts as sun catcher that brings light down through the house. The intimate courtyard offers a quiet sanctuary to relax both day and night.
