The premise of the reality-based series is to document the process and challenges of custom home building, from initial design meetings through final construction. The documentary format will include footage of the design process, interviews with clients and design-builder, and commentary from the design-builder regarding major construction milestones. Additionally, all construction will be captured via time-lapse still photography. Our contractual agreement with the production company and television network prevents us from releasing the name of the series and network until the time of airing.

Each of the thirteen episodes will spotlight a different custom home design-builder. Participants range from smaller one-off firms to national builders, and home designs range from traditional to modern.

Huff Residence by Denver Custom Home Builder: West Standard

Huff Residence: Modern Home in East Washington Park

The first on-site filming session for the “Huff Residence episode” occurred in December, and focused on the process of pouring concrete foundation piers. Commentary on the technical aspects of this process was provided by West Standard general contractor, Brian Dotson.

The Huff Residence is currently under construction in the Central Denver neighborhood of East Washington Park. The popularity of this neighborhood stems from it's proximity to the 165 acre Washington Park, Downtown Denver, and the North Cherry Creek shopping district. The single-story modern home will be Energy Star rated, and consists of 2,000sf above grade, and 1,000sf below. The home demonstrates a common sense approach to sustainable design through the use of smarter smaller spaces, high efficiency mechanical services and fixtures, and xeriscaping.
