The George

The George

The George Symes Building is important to Downtown Denver. It was completed in 1906 to replace the original building on the site and is one of the first to use a steel structure in Denver. Having been well maintained over the course of its life, The George retains the proper “bones” for an adaptive reuse conversion. Also, its footprint is ideal for a multi-family use. With its storied past in mind, this 8-story, formerly “office” building will be transformed into 116 meticulously crafted dwelling units. This  includes state-of-the-art amenity spaces and retail on the first floor. Located in the heart of the 16th St Mall, this conversion will be a strategic component in revitalizing Downtown Denver.

Crocs Innovation Campus

Crocs Innovation Campus

Located within Oracle’s Broomfield campus, the 190,000-square-foot space will transform an existing building into Crocs’ “Home for Work.” Plans for the new space will more than double Crocs’ current footprint to accommodate the company’s 450+ new team members. Renovations will emphasize the company’s culture of collaboration and openness, reflecting Crocs’ values of democracy, comfort, and simplicity. 

The design inspiration seeks to maximize opportunities for the Crocs team to collaborate, gather, and team build in the social hubs of the building, including the lounge, huddle spaces, and coffee counters. These features come together to compose a natural flow throughout the space that connects teams across departments, aligning with Crocs’ spirit of partnership.

REDI Lab

REDI Lab

Venture had the privilege to partner with Colorado Academy on one of their signature programs, REDI Lab. We intentionally designed this space to allow students an opportunity for self-directed learning, to harness their Research, Entrepreneurship, Design and Inquiry skills. The key is three interconnected spaces we crafted:

1. Ideation. A large open area whiteboard to think out loud and generate ideas.
2. Cultivation. A series of teaming as well as individual heads down spaces to develop, iterate, and push their work.
3. Presentation. A stadium seating arena for the students to polish and receive feedback on their project pitch from their peers.

The Bluffs

The Bluffs

This 98-unit, 6-story upscale apartment building in Pueblo is slated for completion in 2024. The building will sit atop the bluff on the west bank of the Arkansas River, offering residents impeccable views of the city. It has a carefully crafted, forward-looking style and sophistication that considered its relationship with both the neighborhood and city skyline. Its special design will have a positive impact and bring meaning to its residents and neighbors alike.

Open Table Support Hub

OpenTable Support Hub

Our fifth and largest project for OpenTable Colorado, this project focused squarely on employee recruiting, development, and retention. Their culture was critical to the team’s performance and needed a space to thrive. This led to a space with a wide array of creative, teaming and collaboration spaces. Acoustics were paramount in order to enable these spaces to perform at their highest level. The resulting suite is uniquely tailored to the team and fits well in their post-Covid workplace strategy.

OpenTable Support Hub was awarded the 2023 ASID Crystal Award: Corporate Office or Workplace 15,000 Square Feet & Over category.

Alterra Mountain Company (formerly Intra-west) owns and operates numerous four-season mountain resorts. They approached Venture to craft a new 40,000, two story headquarters space, including a new interior stair. The space reflected a honored the natural environment that was also representative of their forward-thinking culture and urban, RiNo location in Zeppelin Station. We captured their love of the mountains and passion for outdoor adventure, delivering a concept that solves their functional needs and reveals an authentic experience for their culture.

Richey May hired Venture to help them launch their next chapter. Having grown into a full-service business consulting firm with specialties in complex regulatory projects and clients, they wanted to reflect their approach to their work. This included a clean, modern, open, and focused view of their work. In addition, they wanted their team to enjoy the suite’s expansive views and have a great place to work that also messaged their vision for the company’s future. Venture reflected this with its architectural design response that the client loved from the first day they moved in.
