Colliers International is a leading global commercial real estate company. For their Denver Technological Center location, the 15,000 space, our goal was to reflect their energetic and entrepreneurial culture. Built around several teams, the company sought to retain and increase their team’s bonds. With a need to balance entertaining guests while preserving clients’ significant privacy needs, we deployed a reception area that doubles as a large space with conference and board rooms able to open up and serve parties and gatherings. However, the conference spaces made use of “switch glass” walls and very large glass barn doors that can be transparent or opaque with the flip of a switch.

Glass and sleek stainless steel accents balance the space and lend a contemporary vibe that fits their forward-thinking culture. The result is a very special space that reflects their product and attentively serves their team.
Acquired in 2006, the historic Case Plow and Rock Island buildings were built in the 1880’s and 1920’s, but they have largely sat dormant for over 30 years.
