Located minutes away from the charming main street community of Parker, Colorado, The Alder delivers on luxury, community and connectivity to the outdoors. Organized around a central clubhouse, this walk-up community focuses less on cars and more on fostering relationships. A network of walking paths link active and passive open spaces, encouraging exploration and social interaction. Sitting gardens feature aromatic plants and fragrant perennials, promoting a meditative and sensory rich experience. The architecture blends the area’s agricultural heritage with a modern farmhouse aesthetic, striking a balance between past and future. A rich color palette, varied materials, and articulated horizontal and vertical forms add depth and character throughout the site.
At the heart of the neighborhood, the clubhouse serves as the social hub—a place for residents to gather, connect and linger. Inspired by the form of an agrarian barn, its long-gabled massing is broken into human-scaled components that define the spaces within. Overhanging awnings, large openings, and breezeways blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors, while expressed structural details emphasize craftsmanship and authenticity. These elements carry through the pool lounge, fitness center, yoga studio and outdoor rooms, reinforcing the community’s character. From young professionals to growing families, residents have access to amenities that support their lifestyle and are just a short drive from the Meridian Business Park, the Denver Tech Center and the areas outdoor adventures.
