This is a Class-A office campus, revitalizing three six-story buildings transforming lobbies, corridors, amenity areas, fitness spaces, and common restrooms into vibrant, wellness-oriented environments.
The design integrates warm textures and natural palettes inspired by Colorado’s landscapes and landmarks—stone, wood, and earthy tones that ground the interiors in a strong sense of place.
Upgraded fitness and amenity zones, paired with modernized infrastructure and sustainability strategies, position the campus as a contemporary workplace aligned with FitWel standards and tenant expectations.

Conceived as a hospitality-caliber gathering space, the 8742 lobby features a clear arrival sequence, a double-height volume, and controlled sightlines to reception.
Diamond-polished concrete floors establish a refined industrial base, contrasted by warm wood accents at the reception desk and ceiling elements.
The stair, articulated as a rammed-earth wall, becomes a sculptural anchor, while wood ceiling tongues extend into corridors to signal transitions.
Specialty lighting highlights the security desk, and acoustical panels form artful moments in circulation nooks.
Custom built-in benches and flexible lounge seating support both informal meetings and quiet respite, shaping the lobby as a sophisticated entry and social commons.
The lobbies of 8742 and 8744 share a cohesive design language of polished concrete floors, warm wood accents, and integrated lighting that elevates arrival and circulation.
While 8742 is defined by its double-height volume and sculptural stair, 8744 offers a more intimate one-story experience that connects directly to its amenity suite.
The tenant lounge doubles as a wellness retreat, conceived as a sanctuary for tenants and a peaceful respite from the office environment.
Circulation is punctuated with ceiling details, while the building core was completely reimagined to integrate modern MEP systems.
Amenities extend the sophistication of the lobby. The fitness center features high-end equipment and premium finishes, creating a health-focused environment of exceptional quality.
The conference center combines an executive meeting room with a flexible large hall, complete with operable walls and advanced technology.
Restrooms are designed as high-end yet serene spaces, balancing refinement with comfort, and bike storage underscores a commitment to wellness and sustainable mobility.
Together, these elements reinforce 8744 as a workplace centered on health, flexibility, and tenant experience.
The building exteriors were revitalized with refreshed façades, refined entries, and updated finishes, creating a stronger campus identity and improved curb appeal.
Site and landscape enhancements strengthen pedestrian flow and connections, while a new rooftop screen for the mechanical penthouse conceals equipment and contributes to a clean, cohesive architectural profile
