Avanti Food & Beverage was designed as a social gathering locale at the geographical threshold
between Denver’s Ballpark District and the socially diverse LoHi (Lower Highlands) neighborhood.
Directly adjacent to the property is the 20th Street Overpass, one of the two primary vehicular and
pedestrian corridors connecting these two areas.
We designed an incubator for local cuisine by creating an environment to function as an upscale
food hall. A total of 8 micro-kitchens are housed in repurposed steel shipping containers resulting in an
economical use of space. The shipping container kitchens became seen as fixed-in-place recreation of
the locally popular mobile food trucks seen at regional festivals and street corners.
