Take a moment to think about the homes that have impressed you the most. It’s highly likely that those homes used the warmth and attention to detail that comes with Craftsman home design.

Trilogy sees no reason to separate design from the building process and this unique approach comes to life in our beautiful remodeling and new home construction throughout Colorado.

Beeler Place – Copper Mountain
The owners of a townhome near the Copper Mountain Ski Resort transformed their property from a plain looking and enclosed living space into new open areas with fantastic Craftsman style touches and architecture.

Before

A plain, outdated kitchen and living area became a warm, modern space with sleek iron light fixtures, shaker cabinets, an added fireplace, as well as dramatic new railings and spindles that replaced drab sheet-rocked walls. The new elements are all true to Arts and Crafts style, but with a contemporary attitude.

After

The best news for these property owners is the jump in rental income they have enjoyed since the project was completed. Read their personal letter to Trilogy. You can also see more images from this project in our gallery.

It is ironic that I first learned of the passing of Steve Jobs on my iPhone, one of the many products that he created as the CEO of Apple, Inc. I was saddened to hear about the loss and was a bit nostalgic as I reminisced about how I, like many, have grown up with Jobs’ innovative Apple products.

At the age of 21, Steve Jobs, started Apple, with fellow visionaries Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. He has accomplished more in his 56 years than most men can accomplish in a 100.

We found this great quote on ArchDaily and wanted to share it with you.

“In most people’s vocabularies, design means veneer. It’s interior decorating. It’s the fabric of the curtains of the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.” — Steve Jobs

Thank you Steve Jobs for making our lives a better place and you’ll surely be missed by all.
