A collaboration between visionary designers

Designed by award-winning designer Christian Butler of Studio Limited in association with International Academy of Architecture (IAA) member Michael P. Johnson, CANVAS homes are stunning examples of architecture that puts people first. Butler describes these homes as being “machines for living”, built in the modern tradition to support a highly intentional approach to life.

CHRISTIAN BUTLER

LEAD DESIGNER

Local designer Christian Butler led the overall design of all of the CANVAS properties. He attended the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture at Taliesin, where he first met Michael P. Johnson as a student in one of his classes. Upon graduating, Butler created Studio Limited – an architecture firm that uses an interdisciplinary design approach to finding solutions for development projects – and invited Johnson to Denver to further define the vision for the collection of homes, and collaborate in the design process. The two brought their experience with modern architecture to establish the aesthetic for the series of seven homes. It’s rare to have two designers of this caliber collaborate on an intimate series of homes in Denver.

MICHAEL P. JOHNSON

ARCHITECT

One of only 23 American IAA members and a highly reputed figure in modern American architecture, Michael P. Johnson collaborated with Butler to design the CANVAS properties. His work has been extensively published, building award-winning projects in California, Arizona, New York, Canada, Mexico and Italy. He has been a professor at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture for over 30 years, mentoring Butler during and after school and working with him on various projects ever since.

For more on Johnson, you can pick up a copy of his book “The Unshakeable Search for Architecture” here.”

Integrated with the city

One of Denver’s oldest historic neighborhoods, Whittier is conveniently located five minutes north of downtown and provides easy access to interstate 70. With an abundance of beautiful parks and trees throughout the area, Whittier is charming, evolving and welcoming, while still remaining a northeast downtown neighborhood. And when you feel like exploring, one-of-a-kind restaurant, cafe and retail concepts are blocks away in the Five Points and River North Arts District neighborhoods.
