About Us

GENERAL

Architect Robert R. Larsen serves Denver, Cherry Hills, Boulder and the adjacent front range of Colorado. Now celebrating 37 years in business, this award-winning boutique firm has been in general practice since 1987. We are known for our professional service and attention to detail throughout all phases of architectural service.

Although we enjoy all aspects of architectural practice, we are unique among Denver architecture firms due to our specialty in interior architecture. There are few Denver architecture firms who have our years of experience designing beautiful woodwork and interior features. Also, we sometimes provide the finishing touches for projects started by other architecture firms. Denver has many talented architects, but not all have our level of experience with private residential projects, or the patience to go to the level thought and detail we put into our designs.
We are proud of our years as one of Denver's more respected small architecture firms. Denver is a beautiful place to live, and it is our intention to continue contributing to that beauty through our services.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Robert Larsen believes that our most important product is the service which we provide to our clients. We pride ourselves in our ability to carefully listen to our clients' concerns, design tastes, and specific design program requirements.
Rather than working in one design style and imposing that upon our clients, we endeavor to design to our clients' personal preferences in the belief that ultimately, they are the ones who must be satisfied with the final result.
We believe it is important to design in such a way that we minimize the building's impact upon the environment and are passionate about energy efficient, energy conserving design.
We also understand that every client has some kind of a budget, and we work hard to honor such financial concerns in our designs.

We endeavor to provide our clients with plans and specifications which carefully describe what the contractor is required to build, in sufficient detail allowing bids to be relatively accurate and change orders kept to a minimum during the construction process.

Finally, we believe it is important for us to be available to assist our clients from the beginning of the design process all the way through the completion of construction in order to ensure that what the contractor builds is what we and our clients had envisioned.
