A Study in Modern Architecture | Hilltop, Denver

This Hilltop residence is an exercise in restraint, proportion, and intentionality—architecture conceived as both shelter and experience. Designed by one of Denver’s most respected modern firms, Nest Architectural Design, the home reflects a disciplined approach to form, materiality, and light, where every line serves a purpose and every space feels considered.

Set high atop a hill on nearly half an acre, the property offers a rare sense of scale and calm within the city. The site was deliberately oriented to create privacy, preserve sightlines, and allow the architecture to unfold gradually from entry to interior.

Inside, volume and intimacy coexist. Dramatic 17-foot ceilings anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, the massive picture windows with mountains for miles are a study in vertical proportion and light. Transitions between rooms are fluid and intuitive, reinforcing a strong indoor-outdoor relationship that extends living spaces into the landscape. The private primary wing is intentionally separated, offering retreat without excess, anchored by a Carrara marble bath that emphasizes timelessness.

The grounds are equally deliberate—mature landscaping, a lap pool, and outdoor rooms that feel architectural rather than ornamental. With E-SU-G zoning and a 17,000-square-foot lot, the property also offers rare flexibility for future expansion, allowing the home to evolve while respecting its original design.

This is not a trend-driven home. It is a lasting one—designed with clarity, built with conviction, and positioned for those who value architecture as an art form and a way of living.
