About the House

Rendering of 2026 Designer Showhouse

This year’s Home & Garden Colorado embodies thoughtful use of space with impeccable architectural details that blend a modern twist on colonial features. In this house, you’ll find it’s the attention to detail: barrel ceilings, archways, niches, and inset brick patterns that reflect traditional yet contemporary vibes and make this home one of a kind for an active family.

Built by Apex Homes LLC, the newly built showhouse is in a central Denver metro location, on the cusp of popular Belcaro and Corey-Merrill neighborhoods. It boasts 5 total bedrooms, a “keeping space” or large pantry, a barrel-ceiling dining area, and an in-home gym with a wellness center, equipped with a sauna and steam!  This house packs luxury into every inch of its 4500 sq feet.

Ten local design teams each take on a space, guided by Marcella Domonkos of MD Designs to ensure a cohesive look and seamless flow throughout.

The house will be open to the General Public on 19, 20, and 21 from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm. 100% of your $40 pp donation goes to GB3, the Garrett Bolles Foundation. Tickets will be available after April 15th – please go to denverlifemagazine.com/showhouse/register.
