Humphries Poli Architects are experienced working hand in hand – in this case, playing critical, complimentary roles in the design and construction of an innovative affordable mixed use project just a few blocks from the State Capitol. Renaissance Uptown Lofts, located on Colfax Avenue and Pearl Street in Capitol Hill, will provide 99 rental units and over 7,000 square feet of modern retail space to a formerly troubled location on East Colfax. Innovative design solutions, combined with real-time estimating of building systems has allowed this creative confluence of affordable housing, Main Street Retail, historic preservation and sustainable design.
Denver, like many major metropolitan areas across the country has pledged to eliminate homelessness within the next decade. This challenge has been embraced by Renaissance Housing, the development arm of the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless. Humphries Poli Architect’s design for the Renaissance Uptown Lofts is a solution that embraces both its mission and its neighborhood. This is a mixed use building that will provide mixed income dwellings with an average size of 570 s.f. Housing low income or formerly homeless families is an accomplishment in itself – but creating an environment with community spaces, computer classrooms, outdoor activity areas and training facilities.
