The Gold Dome | OKC
It all begins with an idea.
We’ve know this building for some time and have grown to really love it. Built in the 1960, it is one of the only remaining Kaiser Aluminum geodesic domes still standing. Its original gold anodized finish made it an instant landmark in Oklahoma city. Originally designed as a bank, we’ve been recently engaged to work on converting it into an incredible concert venue. Stay tuned . . .
National Center for Atmospheric Research / UCAR | Various Projects
It all begins with an idea.
VEGA has had the honor of designing and completing a variety of project at the incredible Mesa Lab, designed by the great I.M.Pei. With an eye towards preservation, architectural intent, function and science, VEGA has worked on over 9 projects for this prestigious institution in order to keep it maintained and relevant for a new generation of scientists. Our work has ranged from original skylight replacements to auditorium remodels, mechanical improvements to security upgrades.

Summit County | Sand + Salt Shed
It all begins with an idea.
Situated the nook of a relocated road curve in beautiful Summit County, CO, this public works facility was designed to not only provide spacious and functional storage for Summit County and CDOT’s road maintenance needs, but also to artfully address the site and landscape with varying views and topography.
Mikvah of East Denver | MOED
It all begins with an idea.
We were honored to have been approached for this project to design a religious bathhouse for the Jewish community. We sought to celebrate this spiritual act of cleansing the soul by abstractly referencing the natural pools of the original Mikvah’s. All while maintaining texture, materiality and the human scale so that it always feels relatable. The path from entering the site, approaching the doors, to the changing room and to the immersion pool was all carefully designed to anticipate beauty, function, privacy and spirituality. We are excited to see it completed.
Wazee Exchange
It all begins with an idea.
This project, also listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was a labor of love. Exhaustive research and planning allowed us to peel back many decades of alteration in order to restore this building to its former glory, while also adding in new modern elements to create a vibrant office and workspace in LoDo.
Rock Island
It all begins with an idea.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this project successfully utilized National Park Service standards and the Historic Tax Credit process to convert and restore this project from a night club to an office building. We were able to research and rehabilitate much of this building to its former glory while still creating new and relevant modern design in areas where restoration was not possible.
Lowenstein Theater, Retail and Parking
It all begins with an idea.
This project combined the renovation of the historic Lowenstein theater with a new parking garage, retail and theater. This provided a hub for the arts by creating a space and community for the legendary Tattered Cover bookstore, Twist & Shout music and a new theater for the Denver Film festival.
