Andal
777 S. Williams Street
Denver, CO 80209
Andal was conceptualized during our initial design meeting when we learned of our clients roots in Philadelphia's historic Andalucia neighborhood. Paying homage to both the arts & craft vernacular of East Washington Park and the colonial revivals found on the banks of the Delaware, we created what an outpost nestled into one of the best blocks in the neighborhood.
Reinhard
932 S. Franklin Street
Denver, CO 80209
Sitting cozily and overlooking the Park, Reinhard takes its name from the original landscape designer responsible for transforming the mud flats and open fields into what is now Smith Lake & Washington Park. Featuring heavy eves, a tile roof, and floor to ceiling windows on the main floor, this home is in keeping with the Spanish Mediterranean impulse that fashioned many of Denver's original neighborhoods in the early 20th century. Each home from Chalet Development is crafted to fit its own unique location. Inside, you'll find our constant attention to detail and quality, a creative use of space and sustainable materials.
Maurice

Horace
919 S. Gilpin Street
Denver, CO 80209
Introducing Horace. Horace Tabor, also known as Silver Dollar Tabor, played a role in the development of 19th century Denver. With his wealth, Tabor established newspapers, banks, commercial buildings and the Tabor Opera House. In deciding to build the Grand Opera House in Denver, Tabor declared, "Denver was not building as good buildings as it ought to and I thought that I would do something towards setting them a good example." Inspired by the Jacques Benedict home located just blocks to the south, Chalet Development pays homage to ingenuity and design by continuing the tradition of creating site-specific, custom-built homes tailored to compliment the block on which they are placed.
Lila
382 Dexter Street
Denver, CO 80209
Our clients came to us with the wish of designing and building a new home in Hilltop with a large yard for their kids to play in. After careful review, and a few site visits, we all agreed on the lot at 382 Dexter Street. It was the perfect site to create a home that would sit comfortable amongst the mature locust, aspen and "lilacs" beside the ash tree from which the girls swing will now hang.
Karma

Denver, CO 80209
