Denver Architecture – Italian Villa at Ravenna

By Rudy Lopez, on August 11th, 2008%

Italian Villa at Ravenna The area south of Chatfield Reservoir, and north of Roxborough State Park is home to impressive rock formations and equally impressive neighborhoods. Ravenna is a new development south of Waterton Rd, near Waterton Canyon. All of the homes in Ravenna are designed in an Italian style, this one in particular was built by Villagio homes. These shots are the builders entries for Custom Home of the Year. Taken over three days, these shots represent the best of the builder’s work, and I was proud to be part of the project. Hopefully, the images will help bring home the gold for Villagio. The home sits in the valley between two immense hills, with exposed rock providing privacy for the back yard and a grassy hill providing balance for the other side. The front of the home faces west, making for sunny mornings out back, and golden evenings out front. . . . → Read More: Denver Architecture – Italian Villa at Ravenna

An Introduction to Architectural Photography

Denver Architecture – East 6th Avenue

By Rudy Lopez, on July 28th, 2008%

There is no shortage of great stories/photos that feature lavish, multi-million dollar homes. Just pick up a copy of Colorado Homes and Lifestyle and you will find a dozen top notch properties. But Denver has more to offer than stately manors, estates, and swanky lofts. Each neighborhood has its own character whether it’s the brick bungalows of Mayfair Park or the winding green belts of HIghlands Ranch. It isn’t hard to find beauty in all places, it’s just sometimes you have to look past the noise (and everything else) of Colfax, or the mind numbing aesthetics of the newer suburbs. I have a lot to say about suburbs and urban sprawl, but I will save that for another time.
