On this episode of Art of Construction, we have a conversation with Jeffrey Dungan, Principal of Jeffrey Dungan Architects. With 80% of his projects being outside of the state he resides in, Jeffrey explains why it is important to keep your firm from being limited to one region. Through Jeffrey’s story you will learn what stretching beyond your comfort zone can do for you and your firm and why it might just be something you want to tackle. Listening to Jeffrey’s experiences and his approach to architecture you will be inspired to grow your firm in ways you may have never considered before.
Jeffrey will be speaking at the Denver Design District on Thursday, June 30th, 2016.

This shingled farmhouse, crafted for a retiring businessman turned gentleman farmer, is set in a rural and wooded setting - amongst hardwood trees with a river running through. The couple desired a house with a design that would be an honest statement of its construction and its making. A palate of natural, rustic wood and stone was carefully chosen to be in harmony with the home’s bucolic surroundings, but was assembled in a somewhat more sophisticated way.
The layout of the brooding home is created by a series of smaller rooflines that honor the old farmhouse sense that has grown over time, alongside the family. These volumes are assembled in such a way that outdoor spaces are intertwined with interior ones accentuating the enjoyment of nature and the beauty of the land the home inhabits. Earthy woodwork is celebrated inside, by exposing the structural members of the ceiling and outside, through pergolas with layered beams, purlins and frames consumed by flowering vines of jasmine and scuppernongs.
