Robert’s ability to listen to a client’s vision and provide a creative solution that accomplishes the project goals is unsurpassed. His phenomenal portfolio speaks for itself.
If you are seeking an architect who will help you achieve your dreams, look no further than Robert R. Larsen, AIA.”
Jeff M.
Project Manager, Outdoor Living Industry
“This was my life lesson in the value of a good architect.”
“We had never done a project like this before, and his fee seemed a bit steep to us at first, but I quickly learned that what you pay for the services of a professional like Mr. Larsen is saved many times over. It was 5% of the total investment, but the other 95% would have been a heck of a lot more without it. This was my life lesson in the value of good architects!
I cannot recommend Mr. Larsen highly enough. In addition to the quality of his work, he is very personable, communicative and easy to work with.”

“I agreed to build our dream home only if Bob was our architect.”
“My husband and I have worked with Bob for more than a decade, beginning with embellishments to our first home in Greenwood Village and then the design and construction of our dream home in Cherry Hills Village—a 15,000-square-foot Italian-style villa.
When my husband wanted to build, I agreed only if Bob was our architect. Bob worked with us painstakingly and patiently throughout the 18-month design process and three-year construction process. The final product reflects his deep expertise in classical and period-style design, as well as his attention to detail.
We continue to involve Bob in each refinement to the interior and exterior of our home because his vision and our vision have become synonymous.”

“He had spot-on solutions to the many challenges of our renovation.”
“Bob is extremely seasoned and highly competent. There were many grand challenges in our large renovation project, and Bob was unflappable when addressing each one. He had spot-on solutions and produced impressive and highly technical drawings that made our contractor’s job much easier and helped produce a highly successful outcome.
Most impressive is Bob’s loyalty to his client, which is rock solid. He is tireless in his efforts to ensure that the wishes of his client are met.
We were fortunate to have found and hired Bob Larsen. The result has been a beautiful home and a new and loyal friendship.”

“You took our ideas and expressed them in a way we could not.”
“Your attention to detail and the care you took in making certain your designs were properly executed was extraordinary. You took our ideas and expressed them in a way we could not.
Your attitude of seeing the job through until the client is completely satisfied, even if it means modifying the design, is exemplary. We received great value for your services and would absolutely use you again.”

“We got what we had hoped for—and more.”
“When we decided to add on to our Denver home, we were looking for an architect who could work with us even though we were living abroad. We depended on you to help us achieve our vision, and the designs were just what we were looking for.
Being abroad, we trusted you to manage the building to achieve our design. We had communications from you every week so we could follow and comment on the project the entire way. Because of our close contact, we never worried about things going wrong.
The design of our additions has greatly improved the function, balance and value of our home. Your services were definitely worth the money we invested. We got what we had hoped for from your architectural services—and more.”

“You caused both the new and the old to blend together so beautifully.”
“From the very outset of this project I was very apprehensive about remodeling existing structures and adding to them. You put our minds at ease, and as you developed your drawings our level of comfort kept rising.
Mary and I are very pleased with the final work product. You have done an outstanding job of accommodating our wishes and architecturally causing both the new and the old to blend together so beautifully. And besides, you’re sure nice to work with!”
John C. Ostlund
Owner, Remount Ranch
Buford, Wyoming
“Bob Larsen had respect for the historical and seemed to know just how to blend the new with the old.”
In his autobiography, Quite a Life, Remount Ranch owner John C. Ostlund later recalled his search for an architect:
“We needed to have an architect with whom we could place our confidence. We found such a fellow. His name was Robert Larsen.... Bob Larsen had respect for the historical and seemed to know just how to blend the new with the old. On top of that, he was a pleasure to work with.”
John C. Ostlund
Quite a Life
“The project as a whole could not have been a more complete success.”
“The project as a whole could not have been a more complete success—a success of which you played a very instrumental part.
It required an architect with the rare ability of possessing true concern for the job, as well as the sensitive ability to administer new construction and design without changing the historic accent or mood of the project.
You are one of the most personable and understanding architects we have ever worked with. You administered the project in a manner which made the most difficult of jobs a pleasure for not only us, the contractors, but I believe the owner as well.”
