Side patios on Krisana Park homes were originally called lanai - we used regular concrete but before it was cured, power washed the top for a sand texture. Krisana Park, Denver, CO Cadence Design Studio

We added more glass to the front facade, however it is still sensitive to the original slot & trapizoidal clerestory windows. Krisana Park, Denver, CO Cadence Design Studio

We've always been intrigued by mid-century modern architecture and have enjoyed exploring the homes in Krisana Park and Arapahoe Acres. As luck would have it, we were able to purchase a mid-century home in Krisana Park (Denver). This home is part of an enclave of 175 mid-century moderns inspired by the Eichler style of homes in California. The neighborhood was developed by H.B. Wolff from 1954-1957, supposedly on an alfafa field.
