Hawkins house

IMG_9454_final_for_web

Ed Hawkins, the man responsible for Arapahoe Acres, built this house in 1957, after
returning from a visit to Japan. He lived in this residence for ten years.

The false balcony is a playful break from the honesty of his beautiful Usonian and
International style designs that permeate Arapahoe Acres.

the false balconies exist because englewood building codes did not allow balconies at the time AA was constructed. there are numerous examples of this in AA.

I used to ride past this house on my bicycle all the time growing up. Crazy!
