When the Marshall Fire claimed the Boulder home this couple had lived in for over 30 years, they were faced with one of the biggest decisions they’d ever make.

Instead of looking backward, we helped them create a forever home that would support them through the next stages of their lives.

Their new home includes:
🔹Authentic materials rooted in the Colorado landscape
🔹Maximized Flatiron views
🔹Effortless indoor-outdoor living
🔹Advanced energy-efficient building systems
🔹Aging-in-place support balanced with beauty

Thinking about adding extra space on your property?

An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) might be the perfect solution. It can be a space for older family members or adult children to live independently, a backyard cottage for long-term guests, a customized home office, or just extra space for your family to chill.

Whatever you’re imagining, the Petra Pack is ready to help you build it with a design-build process that makes your experience smooth and fun, resulting in a space built around your expectations.

Historic miner cottage.
Modern chef-level function.

This Old Town Louisville kitchen remodel was all about refining, not reinventing.

We relocated the range, built a custom French-inspired island, preserved the original hex marble floors, and created a layout that actually works for daily cooking and backyard entertaining.

Modern performance. Historic soul. Check it out!

At PCB, we guide the process through design-build, clear planning, honest numbers, and steady communication. If your basement has potential, let’s talk.
