Denver architect marks four decades as market presence
Doug Walter may be a major player in the Denver, CO housing market, but his outreach has extended for nearly four decades far beyond the Rocky Mountain States.
Since 1979, Doug Walter Architects, the residential-architecture firm that Walter heads, has provided award-winning services to hundreds of homeowners in the Denver metropolitan area. Projects have run the gamut – including historically inspired additions and preservations, whole-house remodels, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, custom homes, laundry rooms and garages. Walter’s firm also offers expertise in lighting, cabinetwork, earthquake retrofitting, accessibility and Universal Design, energy efficiency and sustainability.
The winner of more than 150 local and national design awards since 1983, Walter has written extensively for trade magazines and consumer shelter publications, and speaks frequently on kitchen and bath design, lighting, historic preservation and accessibility at trade association events like KBIS.
Aside from serving on the task force that created the CAPS certification for the National Association of Home Builders and writing part of the curriculum, Walter has also shared his original research at KBIS and has been asked to be on a national working group charged with updating the NKBA’s Guidelines for Kitchen & Bath Design.
In addition, he has served on numerous boards and committees, and has provided pro bono services to Habitat for Humanity, Easter Seals, Jewish Family Service and the Home Builders Foundation.
