Humble Home Architecture of Ken Caryl

Humble Home Architecture of Ken Caryl is an architect in Ken Caryl, CO. The firm provides residential architectural services across Colorado's Front Range, including Littleton, Lakewood, Boulder, Morrison, Evergreen, Castle Rock, and Denver. It specializes in custom new builds, additions and remodels, and age-in-place designs, working on homes, detached garages, accessory dwelling units, cabins, and vacation homes. The firm is licensed to work as a residential architect throughout the area and holds a rating of 5.00.

The practice is led by founder, owner, and principal architect Tim Barstad, whose interest in architecture began in high school with studies in hand-drafting and CAD and work for a residential architect before his 2006 high school graduation. He went on to earn a bachelor's degree in environmental design with honors from the University of Colorado in Boulder, then worked at an award-winning residential architecture firm. After collaborating on hundreds of design projects, he passed the Architect Registration Examinations in 2018 and has been a licensed architect in Colorado ever since, later earning the NCARB-certified credential. The team is guided by three stated values: humility and service, communication and collaboration, and art and craftsmanship. Each project follows a detailed six-step design process that moves from gathering information about the property and the area through schematic design refinement, after which the firm acts as central coordinator for the construction phase. Services include basement finishes, reconfiguring layouts within existing building envelopes, energy-efficiency upgrades, and 3D visualization, along with preparation of drawings for permitting and construction. With over a decade of experience across high-end architectural styles, the firm develops custom designs that meet zoning, building department, and HOA requirements, typically within six to twelve months for new builds.

The office sits on Centennial Road, about 0.2 miles from West Chatfield Avenue and South Kipling Parkway, with Settlement Pond Park and Shaffer Elementary School both within roughly a third of a mile.

With a perfect 5.00 rating from its reviewers and a decade-plus track record of residential work, the practice stands among the most consistently rated residential architects serving the Ken Caryl and Front Range communities.
