Gary Godden, founding principal of Godden|Sudik Architects, was elected on May 8^th to a four-year term with the five-member Board of Directors for the Park Meadows Metropolitan District (PMMD). The District is a governmental entity that provides services including street improvements, transportation, safety protection through traffic and safety control devices, and storm drainage. The District cooperates with the City of Lone Tree and Douglas County to provide major capital improvements to arterial and collector streets to benefit District residents as well as the maintenance of landscaped improvements within medians and rights-of-way along the major streets. Through his career as an architect and land planner, as well as serving as a planning commissioner with the City of Lone Tree and Douglas County, Gary has become familiar with the efforts that the PMMD has made to improve the infrastructure of the District and, in turn, enhancing the quality of life for its residents. Gary vows to make sure that the PMMD maintains its high standards in protecting property values while creating and maintaining well-designed and attractive projects for the District's residents. As a member of the PMMD Board, he will work to ensure that the District's project funds are spent in a cost-conscious and effective manner, and that high design standards continue to be maintained for the City that he loves. Godden|Sudik Architects was founded by Gary and his then partner Mike Casey in 1992. Now a 28-person, award winning, multi-disciplinary residential firm, Godden|Sudik Architects is a leader in the industry for innovative, collaborate, and livable, design.

Homes in Denver Are "Flying Off the Shelves!"

noreply@blogger.com (Godden Sudik Architects) — Tue, 04 Apr 2017 21:30:00 +0000

In a recent article written in the Denver Business Journal addressing the current Denver Housing Market, homes are reportedly, "flying off the shelves." Homes are averaging less than two weeks on the market, a month faster than national rates. Homes values have also increased 10% over the past year, also above national averages. Due to the high demand for homes, Denver is seeing a limited selection of for sale homes frustrating home buyers and putting immense pressure on the market. A local Redfin broker said it's rare to see a house priced under $300,000 not be purchased with all cash! It truly is a seller's market in Denver.

After countless completed projects, and plenty of national and local awards, it's the people we have met who have inspired us to keep doing what we do. Looking back through the archives, take a look at some of our favorite projects below!

Brick Coursing: Three Ways to Lay Brick

noreply@blogger.com (Godden Sudik Architects) — Wed, 08 Feb 2017 17:01:00 +0000

With the always present masonry requirements of the many municipalities and design review committees, Godden|Sudik designers have become more creative in their use of large amounts of brick by using different brick coursing. Although there are many different ways to lay brick, recently, our designers have used three different brick coursing patterns, the stacking bond, the running bond and the Flemish bond to add a little variety and interest.

The most common brick coursing that is used in the field and in our office is the running bond. This style has the first row of bricks placed so that the long end of the brick goes across the row. The next row up is where the running bond starts, by starting the next long brick in the middle of the brick on the row below it. This pattern continues up the wall, subsequently making the first odd numbered rows match and the even numbered rows match. This type of coursing easily allows for bricks to be cut and removed at doors and windows.

Running Bond

Another recently used brick coursing is the stacking bond. The first row starts the same as the running bond but then the deviates at the second row. Instead of the second row of bricks being offset by half of the brick below it, it is stacked directly on top of the brick below it, all the way up the wall. This creates a very distinct grid pattern with all the bricks and mortar lining up in long rows and columns.

Stacked Bond

The last brick coursing that has been used recently is the Flemish bond. This coursing starts with one brick being laid long ways, followed by a brick being cut in half and the end of the brick, facing out, being placed next in the row. This then continues along the row; long then short end, long then short end. Somewhat like the running bond, the Flemish bond starts the second row, opposite of the first with the short end being placed first and the long end following that to the end of the row; short end then long, short end then long.

Flemish Bond

Godden|Sudik Wins CARE Award for Best Addition

noreply@blogger.com (Godden Sudik Architects) — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 22:00:00 +0000

Alex Jewett poses with Godden|Sudik's newest award!

Last night winners were announced for the 2016 Colorado Awards for Remodeling Excellence (CARE)! The CARE Awards honor achievements in remodeling and recognize architects, builders, and designers who have demonstrated exemplary work in the remodeling capacity throughout the Denver metro area. Godden|Sudik took Gold in the Addition category for a beautiful Hilltop Addition.

This addition included a total re-haul of the kitchen, turning a once dark, cramped, and closed off area into a bright, inviting, open space. An airy dining space was added off the kitchen that opens to an incredibly useful covered outdoor patio. The remodel also included the addition of a master retreat with beautiful 5 piece bath, some this historic home was seriously lacking.

Existing hardwood floors on the main level were re-finished to seamlessly blend with the new floors added to the addition. It was very important to both the homeowners and designers that the addition felt like it had always been part of the home.

It is always a goal of Godden|Sudik's, when doing any remodel, to make an existing home, that the owners clearly already love, function to it's absolute peak, making the home that much more enjoyable to live in. This addition is a perfect example of a successful remodel, and we are so pleased the CARE Award judges agree!

More Affordable Houses to be Added in Stapleton!

noreply@blogger.com (Godden Sudik Architects) — Fri, 13 May 2016 16:36:00 +0000

Housing attainability in Denver has been a huge topic of discussion lately and we were excited to see this great project. Rather than relying primarily on value engineering and product right sizing which we are all very versed at, it's encouraging to see creative and collaborative solutions like Forest City and thrive's Elements Collection at Stapleton.

In 2000, Forest City agreed to dedicate one-tenth of the homes sold in the master planned community to affordable units. To date just over 300 homes (less than 5% of the total) have been built that meet this criteria. So how can they possibly meet their goal with Denver's crazy housing market over the next five years? To start, Forest City Stapleton, thrive Home Builders, and the city of Denver are teaming up to build 165 townhomes all priced under $200,000. Forest City is giving thrive the land, a hug money saver, and thrive it using it's 13 years of building experience in Stapleton to cut building costs in every way they can. The Elements Collection will be the largest affordable development in Stapleton and will certainly help Forest City to hit its goal.

How to Make Your Home More Green

noreply@blogger.com (Godden Sudik Architects) — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 21:46:00 +0000

In honor of Earth Day, we thought we would share a few simple ideas we can all do to make our homes greener. Experts say that simple changes in your everyday life are all it takes to make your home better for the environment.

Here are a few ideas worth trying:

Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs: These bulbs - now available to fit many light fixtures - use just a quarter of the electricity of regular incandescent bulbs. Plus, they last up to 10 times longer.
Turn off the lights: If you or others in your household are forgetful, install movement sensors so lights only activate when needed. Another way to save energy is to install automatic timers for lights frequently left blazing in empty rooms.
Set cooling and heating temperatures correctly: Your refrigerator and freezer are probably the biggest electrical energy consumers in your house. Take steps to make sure they're not working harder than necessary. Fridges do their job at around 37 F. Freezers set at -3 F keep things nice and frosty. Be sure to close the fridge and freezer doors. Leaving them open for just a few extra seconds wastes a lot of energy. Get an electronic thermostat so your furnace heats your home to a lower temperature while the family sleeps and returns it to a toastier temperature before you get out of bed. In the winter, set your thermostat at 68 F in the day and 55 F at night. In the summer, keep it at 78 F. Water heaters work most efficiently between 120 and 140 F.
Get unplugged: Electronic appliances, including TVs, computers, and CD players can consume almost as much energy when in standby mode as they do during the relatively small amount of time they're being used.
Use appliances efficiently: Wait for a full load before turning on the washing machine, dryer, or dishwasher. Clear the lint filter after every dryer load and air-dry clothes when weather allows. Use the air-dry function on your dishwasher. Preheat your oven only when necessary.
Let the sun shine: The cheapest and most environmentally sound heat and light source is just outside your window. Open blinds, drapes, and shutters to let solar energy warm and brighten your home naturally.
Stop leaks: Plug, insulate, replace, repair, caulk, or seal to make your home as leak-proof as possible - and watch your utility bills drop.

These ideas are from 25 Way to Create a Green and Healthy Home, for the full list click here.

Denver Joins Several Cities Requiring Electrical Vehical Readiness For New Homes

noreply@blogger.com (Godden Sudik Architects) — Fri, 11 Mar 2016 23:27:00 +0000

After an 18-month process, Denver City Council approved Denver's new building code 12-0 on Monday. Under the new code, new buildings are expected to be 25% more energy efficient while loosening the reins on renovations and repairs on the existing building stock hopefully expanding preservation. Denver specific codes now require garages on single family and duplex dwellings to have the proper electrical wiring to support electrical vehicle plugs. This will make it easier and cheaper for more residence to charge electrical vehicles at home. Homebuilders opposed the electric vehicle readiness requirement voicing concerns about the growing cost of construction, but the new code passed unanimously anyway. The new building code will take full effect in six months. How will these updates directly affect us? Here are a few examples:

This change took place in the 2012 IRC and is carried into the 2015 IRC, but will affect cities that are going from the 2009 IRC

· R806.2 - Minimum area of roof ventilation: the code changed the required ventilation minimum and maximum of upper roof vents compared to lower roof vents. The 2009 IRC allowed between 50% and 80% of ventilation to be on the upper roof. The 2012 & 2015 IRC changed this to a much lower range between 40% and 50% of ventilation to be on the upper roof.

How this affects our work: This may not directly affect how we design our roofs but will significantly change how we show our upper and lower vents on our roof plans. Because the IRC went from allowing a minimum of 20% (2009) ventilation in the lower portion of the roofs to a minimum of 50% (2012, 2015), if we don't have enough soffits to put the ventilation (houses with a lot gable roofs), we are forced to show, and builders are forced to install, cut-in vents at the soffits or install a low profile o-hagin vent that is significantly larger than the upper roof vents mathat are being installed, thus affecting the way a house looks.

This change took place in the 2015 IRC
R302.13: Fire protection for floors: the code changed so a 1/2" gypsum wallboard membrane, 5/8" wood structural panel membrane or equivalent must be installed to the underside of floor framing member. There is an exception that says that floor assemblies located directly over a space protected by an automatic sprinkler system don't need to conform to this section.
How this affects our work: The only thing that we need to consider is making sure how plan notes state this. This will affect our builders more in that they will have to absorb the cost to install this material in their unfinished basements or sprinkler the floor.

This change took place in the 2015 IRC

· R305.1: Minimum ceiling height: Bathrooms, toilet rooms and laundry rooms shall have a ceiling height of not less than 6 feet 8 inches. (Previous codes, 2009 and 2012 called out a minimum required of 7 feet)

How this affects our work: We now have to show our bathrooms and laundry rooms at 6 feet 8 inches. If our builders decide to go down to 6 feet 8 inches, it will affect our door sizes as well and make the space feel smaller overall. This will affect how we design these already tight spaces.

Levi Stadium - Smarter Than the Competition

noreply@blogger.com (Godden Sudik Architects) — Fri, 05 Feb 2016 23:58:00 +0000

With the Denver Broncos traveling to San Francisco to take on the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50, naturally as architects, we wanted to check out where they would be playing. Go Broncos!!

Levi’s® Stadium was designed by HNTB and built by Turner/Devcon for the Santa Clara Stadium Authority. The $1.2 billion venue has 1.85 million square feet, seats approximately 68,500 and features 165 luxury suites and 8,500 club seats. One of the most unique features of the facility is the green roof atop the suite tower on the west side of the stadium. The three solar bridges, connecting the main parking area to the stadium, will include hundreds of solar panels.

According to Time magazine, Levi Stadium is technically far superior to the rest. Contributor Tim Bajarin says, "Most people have heard of smartphones, smart cars and smart homes. Say hello to the smart stadium.Set in the heart of Silicon Valley, Levi’s Stadium — home to the San Francisco 49ers — is now the most high-tech stadium anywhere in the world.It’s in the center of the tech universe, of course, so it’s only natural that 49ers management decided to devote a significant sum of money to building high-tech infrastructure. The stadium will allow all 70,000+ fans to connect to Wi-Fi and 4G networks to take advantage of personalized services, making the event experience more enjoyable.
I had the privilege of attending the inaugural event at Levi’s Stadium, where the San Jose Earthquakes took on the Seattle Sounders in an MLS league game. About 49,000 people attended that event, well below the stadium’s 70,000+ seat capacity, so the game served as a dry run to work out some of the kinks. I also attended the first NFL game to be played in the stadium: the Denver Broncos came to town to help the 49ers christen the stadium in a preseason game on Aug 17. The first regular-season NFL game will be held there on Sept 14, and will serve as the official grand opening of the stadium."
