The 18th & Boulder Townhouse development is situated in Denver?s Lower Highlands (Lohi) neighborhood on the North side of Denver?s downtown boundary.  The Lohi neighborhood has become an especially popular destination for new development and includes a mix of single family homes, commercial buildings, and large apartment blocks, all juxtaposed against one other.  Small two-story homes share the same block, adjacent to and in the shadow of 5-story structures.  This project resides on a corner lot and shares street frontage with two such structures, including an apartment building to the West and a single-family residence to the South.  The context presents a special challenge to new development, requiring both a macro and micro scaled design response.
