Mikvah of East Denver | MOED

Denver, CO

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.

Busch House

Lakewood, CO

We were privileged to have the opportunity to carefully remodel this incredible mid-century modern house in Applewood. Designed in the 60’s by one of Eero Saarinen’s protege’s, James Ream, this house was in a league of its own within other modern houses of its time. Our goal was to continue on the intent that James built into the house in a way that brought it into the current day but did so in an understated and honest way. We were privileged to have it featured in 5280.

Formative Office

We designed a series of these flexible and rapidly demisable offices for a landlord seeking to provide high-end office space to tenants who want to balance collaboration with demised space for their company. Our unique master plan, combined with a specific demountable wall system, allows the landlord to rapidly re-demise the space to accommodate tenants changes in size and thereby keeping the tenants in building longer.
