A Different Kind of Builder

Founded in 1998 by Keira Harkin, Old Town Design Build is a woman-owned custom home builder and design-build firm based in Fort Collins, Colorado. We serve homeowners throughout Northern Colorado, specializing in high-end custom homes, luxury full-home remodels, historic renovations, luxury ADUs and carriage houses, and high-performance Passive House construction. Every project is guided by a commitment to quality craftsmanship, sustainable building practices, and transparent communication.

As a licensed general contractor with decades of experience, our team blends architectural design, construction expertise, and interior design under one roof, making the design-build process seamless and stress-free. From preserving the character of Old Town’s historic homes to building new modern, energy-efficient residences, we focus on creating spaces that reflect our clients’ lifestyles while reducing environmental impact.

What's new with old town design build?

0.43 ACH50 Blower Door Test Result at our neo trad passive house!

Big milestone on our Neo-Trad Passive House build in Fort Collins, we just achieved an outstanding .43 ACH50 blower door test result, far exceeding standard new-home performance. For comparison, typical code-built homes test around 3 ACH50, meaning this home is dramatically tighter, more energy-efficient, and more comfortable year-round. A result like this takes thoughtful design, careful detailing, and strong collaboration between our designers, trades, and building-science partners. The payoff for our clients? Lower energy costs, improved indoor air quality, and consistent comfort in every season, without sacrificing beautiful design. Stay tuned as we continue moving this high-performance, high-style home toward completion.
