Organic architecture creates harmony between living spaces and the natural world around it. Designers utilize large portals to the outdoors with an orientation to views or geologic features, plus other elements inspired by natural forms. Some designs have been more enduring than others.

Note: It's spring break for BVSD. Many potential buyers are out of town, which is why this week is normally a slow one for Boulder [...]

Pop Or Not?
by Osman Parvez ---- Martin Acres is one of our favorite Boulder neighborhoods. Everyone from growing families to college students put their roots down, making the area a diverse part of town. Many of the original owners are still residing in the neighborhood. Martin Park is one of the locations best amenities, along with close access to the rest of South Boulder and its many retail and recreational offerings. Over the years, many owners within the neighborhood have chosen to "pop the top" and expand their homes from the typical original 1950's ranch style. A unique group have completely [...]
Design: Modern or Traditional? 875 Dellwood
by Osman Parvez Modern design is eye catching but is a modern looking house for you? In the world of design, fresh concepts usually prevail except when it comes to houses.

Testimonials
Osman was a refreshingly honest realtor. He stressed through the entire process that his goal was to make me happy with my home purchase. I greatly appreciated the fact that he never shied away from pointing out the negatives as well as the pluses of different places while leaving the final decision up to me.
We can highly recommend Sophie. Her attention to detail and communication skills are great. Our home was in area that most realtors are not familiar with, but Sophie took extra time to get to know the neighborhood in order to give us quality service. She also brought in a professional photographer to make our home look its best. Even though the listing was in winter, the house sold quickly. With Sophie’s business and people skills, we have no doubt she will be a top realtor in the area.
