Creede America Design Guidelines
12/13/06
Creede America is in the heart of a rugged Colorado mountain landscape, and part of the historic mining town of Creede. What is built here must be a positive contribution to the unique natural setting as well as to the character and scale of the town.
Each lot within Creede America will require a separate and thoughtful design solution that responds to the individual character of that lot within the natural landscape and community of buildings as a whole. The goal of Creede America is to make buildings and landscape into an ensemble of complimentary forms and materials at a human scale.
All building designs shall respect the natural character of the land, and all man-made structures and landscaping shall blend with the natural and community environment rather than stand out against it.
Conforming to a specific architectural "style" is not necessarily required to receive approval from the design review board. Carefully conceived traditional or modern designs may be found to be suitable design solutions.
Size
The floor area of the main dwellings shall not be less than 800 square feet and not more than 3,000 square feet, exclusive of garages, guest quarters, covered walks, open porches, outbuildings, barns, stables, sheds and/or the like.
Scale
To maintain the small-town, mountain-landscape character of Creede America, appropriate, careful attention shall be paid to human scale of houses and outbuildings, height of walls and roofs, etc.
Houses
Houses must be carefully placed and oriented within their sites so as to appropriately engage the land as well as to become part of the community of buildings.

Materials
Materials that are in keeping with western tradition, and western vernacular will be encouraged. A specific material palette is not required to receive approval from the design review board.

Material selection must be approved by the design review board.

All proposed colors shall require approval by the Design Review Board.
Lighting
