The design of this residential loft building reflects the optimism of a district in the process of reestablishing its place as one of Denver’s most forward focused urban neighborhoods. The neighborhood is a delightful mix of the modern and traditional, with work like the Denver Art Museum, the Denver Library and the Civic Center Park co-existing with a diverse mix of residential and commercial properties. The Golden Triangle neighborhood boasts a blend of medium and high rise structures framed by a truncated street grid, tree lined lawns, excellent downtown access, and distant mountain views.
The building is rendered in raw, cast-in-place concrete, large expanses of glass, and subtle shades of plaster. Classic determination of base, middle and top have resulted in a building which is well scaled to the pedestrian, while creating a distinct silhouetted identity that moonlights as an active neighborhood marker.
Based on the model of urban courtyard buildings, this L-shaped, 30-unit building is organized by an open-air circulation system and common courtyard, both practical notions in Denver’s moderate, dry climate. Individual dwellings benefit from this thin footprint, placing a majority of public uses nearest the street and views, yet maintaining ventilation and quiet uses toward the internal courtyard space.
