Jeff Daigle, Architect Let’s adapt your house for the way you live. Additions, renovations, & ADUs in the Metro Denver area. I’m here to help you love your home again.

I’m an expert in expanding and transforming older homes in the urban core and Metro Denver area. My ultimate job is to listen, come up with solutions you haven’t thought of, and work with you to match style, materials, and budget to your needs. I can help you realize your home’s hidden potential—whether it needs a renovation, reconfiguration, or addition—plus navigate the sometimes overwhelming process of getting from a sketch to a building permit. I understand working with smaller lots, in tight spaces, and with the higher level of permitting required by Denver and surrounding Front Range communities. Collaboration with your contractor is also key: Together we’ll ensure vision, budget, and timeline are all aligned to give you the smoothest possible process and prevent surprises. As a licensed Colorado architect, I started my career designing the spaces where people work, but now my priority is helping my clients transform their houses into places they love coming home to every day. After all, the spaces we inhabit have an enormous effect on our overall health and happiness. That’s why my designs make sense to both the existing home and to the surrounding area. Get past the “I wish we could stage” and be able to see point Z from point A.

When your home isn't working, it's natural to start thinking of solutions. You move walls around in your head, add to your Pinterest board, maybe even start sketching floor plans before you've talked to anyone. I understand that impulse. But what I tell Denver homeowners I work with is that jumping to a floor plan before you've really mapped out the problem can create more issues than it solves. You get attached to a solution before you fully understand what's driving the frustration. The better starting point is a conversation—one where we slow down, look honestly at the constraints, and figure out what's actually needed.

The owners of one of my Arapahoe Acres projects came to me knowing exactly what they wanted: a bigger, open kitchen and dining area, and a larger primary suite. They were also convinced that getting there would require popping the top—adding a full second story to their ranch house. That's a big and expensive job. But when we took the time to really dig into how they lived, what they needed, and what the existing floor plan offered, we found a different path. By reclaiming inefficient spaces already in the house, we got them everything they wanted without building up.

I'm excited to share something I've been working on for a while: a guide to renovating some of the most common house types found in Denver and the surrounding suburbs.

If you've been thinking about how you might update your own home, I hope that these give you an idea of what's possible with a renovation or addition to make your house work with the way you live today. Don’t see your house listed here? Get in touch and we can talk about the opportunities for your own home.

See how some of the most common house types in Denver can be updated for today's lifestyles. Victorian, Denver Square, Terrace, Ranch, and Split Level.

Summer brings the criticality of home performance into focus for many homeowners.

We’ve started documenting the existing conditions with a series of “before” photographs and preliminary 3D models on this Whole-Home Retrofit in the mountains. While construction progress photos are still a few months away, the initial investigations already reveal the importance of thoughtful envelope design in high-performance remodeling work.

As this mountain retrofit develops, I look forward to sharing more of the process, including the challenges, discoveries, and technical strategies involved in transforming an older home into a more resilient and high-performing building.

Mid-century homes are typically receptive to renovations that feel like a natural evolution of the existing structure because so many of the design principles used in their original design—elegant, minimal detailing, connection between the inside and the outdoor, and an emphasis on the human scale rather than an imposing monumental statement—are relevant again today.

Our goal was to work with the history and bones of this home by introducing contemporary elements like natural lighting, indoor / outdoor living, and open layouts to complement the existing structure.

These Homeowners were ready to drastically change the layout of their home, but after completing a Needs and Options Report to establish priorities for the project and explore possibilities, we discovered there were ample opportunities to improve the overall flow of the home, within the existing footprint.
