Parkside Villa Receives AIA Colorado Award of Merit

We’re honored to share that Parkside Villa has received an Award of Merit in the 2026 AIA Colorado Design + Honor Awards.

Presented by AIA Colorado, the annual Design Awards recognize outstanding work by Colorado architects and celebrate projects demonstrating architectural quality, design excellence, and meaningful contributions to the built environment.

For Parkside Villa, the recognition reflects a project defined not by starting over, but by seeing new potential in what was already there.

The renovation transforms an existing 9,100-square-foot Boulder residence through a series of precise architectural interventions. Rather than erasing the original home, the design works within its existing framework, reorganizing spaces, strengthening connections to the landscape, and introducing new architectural elements that give the house an entirely different relationship to its site.

Parkside Villa represents an idea central to our work at Studio B: thoughtful architecture does not always require a blank slate. Sometimes the most meaningful design comes from understanding what is already there, deciding what deserves to remain, and making a few rigorous moves that fundamentally change how a home is experienced.

We’re grateful to our clients for trusting us with that transformation and to the entire team of designers, consultants, craftspeople, and collaborators who helped bring it to life.

Thank you to AIA Colorado and the 2026 Design Awards jury for this recognition.
