Boulder Visionaries | Charles Haertling, Architect

Architect Charles Haertling called Boulder home from the early 1950s to the 1980s, where he designed 40 homes throughout the Boulder area and also served on city council advocating for environmental preservation. His nature-centric modernist designs were influenced by Flank Llyod Wright as well as Tician Papachristou, another well-respected Boulder architect. Properties designed by Haertling come onto the market from time to time, several of which have sold in the last year.

One of Haertling’s more well know works is The Brenton House, (or the Mushroom House, as I’ve always known it) which made a cameo in Wood Allen’s 1973 futuristic sci-fi film, Sleeper.

Is buying a Haertling not in the cards right now? Just stay in one for the night then! This one in the foothills of Boulder is a real beaut.
