Zelenka Development Integrates Interior Design Denver Services with Construction Under One Team
Denver, United States - August 16, 2026 / Zelenka Development /
Zelenka Development has named Dante Burl as Interior Design Manager, signaling the firm's formal move into in-house interior design services across its custom home, ADU, and multi-unit construction projects throughout the Denver metro area. The appointment allows the company to deliver a fully integrated design-build experience under one roof, removing the need for clients to independently source and coordinate separate design professionals.
A Design Leader with Deep Colorado Roots
Burl holds a design degree from Colorado State University and brings an 11-year foundation in real estate spanning developer projects, custom remodels, and multi-unit flips and rentals. That combination of formal design education and hands-on real estate experience shapes a practical understanding of how spaces are used, valued, and constructed - one that maps directly onto the project types Zelenka Development pursues.
Her portfolio reflects range across multiple project categories. Having worked on developer-driven builds, owner-occupied custom remodels, and income-producing rental conversions, Burl understands the distinct priorities each project type demands - whether the goal is maximizing resale value on a multi-unit flip or translating a homeowner's personal vision into a functional, cohesive interior.
Pairing Design with Trade Craftsmanship
Zelenka Development was founded by Ryan Zelenka, who contributes more than 10 years of trade craftsmanship to each project. The firm has established its presence in the Denver area through direct construction expertise across custom homes and accessory dwelling units. With Burl now directing interior design, the company can offer clients a single point of contact from initial concept through finished construction.
For clients seeking interior design Denver alongside new construction or a custom remodel, the in-house structure means design decisions are made in direct coordination with the building team - reducing the friction that frequently develops when outside designers and contractors operate in separate silos. Material selections, spatial planning, and finish specifications can be resolved earlier in the process and adjusted in real time as construction moves forward.
Expanding Capacity Across Custom Homes and ADUs
The appointment comes as Zelenka Development continues to serve homeowners and developers across the Denver metro area as both a custom home builder Denver and a Denver ADU builder. Accessory dwelling units present a particular design challenge that Burl's background is well suited to address - compact footprints require deliberate material choices and careful spatial planning to function effectively, whether a unit is intended for a family member, a long-term tenant, or a short-term rental.
Multi-unit projects introduce an additional layer of complexity that Burl has navigated throughout her career. Coordinating finishes and layouts across several units at once, while managing both construction budget and end-user experience, is a skill set Zelenka Development can now apply directly within its own project pipeline.
An Integrated Service for Denver Clients
"Having in-house design at Zelenka Development means our clients get a cohesive process where the person making design decisions is sitting at the same table as the person managing the build," said Dante Burl, Interior Design Manager of Zelenka Development. "That kind of integration changes the outcome for clients."
The addition of Burl to the Zelenka Development team represents a deliberate step toward offering Denver clients a more complete service - one where a project's architecture, construction, and interior finish work are developed as a single continuous effort rather than a sequence of handoffs between independent professionals.
