At milehimodern, we believe every home is a work of art — a canvas for the stories waiting to be lived. Each week, our team curates a selection of the most captivating homes across Colorado, showcasing inspired design, refined details, and the distinct stories that define modern living. 

Artistry takes many forms in this week’s collection — from a sculptural modernist icon set into the foothills to thoughtfully enhanced classics rooted in beloved neighborhoods. Each home expresses creativity through architecture, materiality, and a deep connection to its surroundings. Together, they showcase how inspired design transforms a residence into something truly memorable.

rare, livable work of art

what we love // Featured in Dwell Magazine, this exquisite residence designed by Charles Haertling — Colorado’s most celebrated modernist architect — is a rare, livable work of art. Originally built in 1976, this sculptural residence, shaped like twin cones, resembling a cassette tape in plan and a double teepee in elevation, is one of Haertling’s most iconic creations. Set against the backdrop of the foothills, the home offers remarkable Flatiron views, sitting like a sculpture in the landscape and blending geometry, nature, and light. Framed by walls of glass and grounded in organic materials, the home flows into a serene meditation room, a tranquil water feature, a secluded private hot tub, and over 1,600 square feet of decks and patios.
