His latest creation, a soaring Tuscan-style beauty in the Greenwood Village suburb of Denver, Colo., is a delicate blend of rhythm and flow. Although each room is distinct, the entire space is brought together by intricate details. From the living room looking toward the kitchen, the arched doorway perfectly frames the most dramatic part of the kitchen; from the kitchen, the same arch highlights the fireplace. With an artist's eye, Suderman has drawn an imperceptible and continuous line designed to bring out the focal point of each room. The architect's love for symmetry and the relation of space allows him to see what others may not, and to bring that into play in even the slightest of ways. The subtlety is sublime, and the effect is real. "I don't expect people to consciously notice the geometry," says Suderman, "but to simply feel that there is something right about the floorplan." And when they feel it, they love it. Curt Coffman had precisely that reaction when he and his wife decided to purchase one of Suderman's homes. The project began as a spec, but through a relationship based on communication the Coffmans began to see their dream home realized. "Scott would really listen to us, and hear and see needs we hadn't even articulated yet," says Coffman. It is this ability to communicate with clients, to actually listen to what they say and sometimes what they don't say that puts Suderman Custom Homes in a class of its own. Suderman will work with a client to incorporate whatever aspects they desire, while keeping the original purpose of the design intact, resulting in a truly collaborative endeavor. Clients begin to "see" what the design represents and how each detail contributes to the whole. "Most of the time, they fall in love with it because they truly get it'," says Suderman. "They are just as excited as I am about seeing the vision completed." Ultimately, the Coffmans ended up with their hearts' desire a stunning home centered around the natural light their location offers. With sweeping views along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains and an unobstructed vista of Pikes Peak, the grandeur of the scenery is matched, but not upstaged, by the beautiful Tuscan structure. 1 of 2
