Downtown Denver Sheraton Hotel
Photography by David Lauer
This extensive lobby renovation includes a
comprehensive revision of the public space of the
largest hotel in the downtown core, including: improved
connection between two separate portions of the
hotel; engagement with the street through the addition
of glazing and access; extension of daylight from the
exterior to spaces inset deeply from the entry; and
introducing new elements of the brand into the space.
The design concept is guided by the history of the
building itself, its impact within the city, and the time
during which it was originally conceived by I.M. Pei
Architects in 1958. This was a time of unprecedented
travel and exploration for both business and pleasure.
Capturing the spirit of the traveler is at the core of
the concept. The late 1950s belonged to the Beat
Generation. The renewed design is inspired by their
carefree attitude and desire to find a community on the
road, to relish in discovery and adventure, and to share
that experience.

Shea Canyons The Exchange Coffee House +
Information Center
Photography by Eric Lucero
This one-of-a-kind Coffee House + Information Center
at the Canyons in Castle Pines, Colorado is an inviting
space for both residents and the public, centered
around coffee, conversation, and community connection.
A central gathering spot where you can enjoy a
handcrafted latte in the morning or a light snack in
the afternoon. Guests can settle into a comfy armchair
by the fireplace or enjoy the fresh air and firepit on
the outdoor patio. The building embraces its natural
surroundings and embodies a unique take on modern
farmhouse architecture with high scissor truss ceilings
that continue out onto the outdoor covered patio, and
a retractable door system providing an indoor-outdoor
connection between the spaces. The design approach
utilized clean lines and a modern color palette that
showcases all the characteristics of the community's
brand: a spa-like feel, simple, elegant. Comfortable, yet
with a buzz of positive energy.

The Roadrunner on McDowell
The Roadrunner on McDowell is a midcentury modern-inspired apartment complex in Scottsdale, Arizona. This
property features a fitness center and pool area, roof deck, pet spa, and several unique lounge areas. The Roadrunner
pays high attention to detail and was such a unique property for the team to design. It allowed us to really push the
bar and use some special materials. We are very proud to have this one in our portfolio.
