A well-known multidisciplinary consulting firm, Felsburg, Holt & Ullveg enlisted Venture to reimagine their existing space in an effort to create a more efficient and desirable workplace. With this in mind, special attention was given to the two-story suite as we worked with our client to ensure both stories were well integrated in order to encourage purposeful and intentional connections among staff members. Venture thoughtfully studied the layout of different spaces and employed a consistent palette of warm, natural materials and furniture, as well as bringing the outside in, in an effort to better foster collaboration within the office.

Crocs

Crocs, a Venture Architecture Project

Crocs

Having spent the last several years successfully growing as a company, Crocs was looking to celebrate its exciting new chapter of life. This new space was geared to be a “Home for Work”, and aims to reflect Crocs’ democratic, easy going culture. With that in mind, we approached the design with the same keen eye that they take to their footwear. The smooth flowing space raises through the high ceilings and connects the teams across a diverse set of interactive corporate neighborhoods. The work spaces all connect in the center of the building where we’ve created a hub for social gathering, individual work, and places to team build. The outcome was a headquarters that aligns with Crocs’ authenticity and reflects their “come as you are” culture.

Crocs Global Headquarters was awarded the 2023 ASID Silver Award: Corporate Office or Workplace 15,000 Square Feet & Over category.

Wells Fargo Lobby

Wells Fargo Lobby

Hired by Beacon Properties, we were asked to reimagine the Wells Fargo Center’s historic architecture into something modern, vibrant, and light filled. The ownership team wanted to appeal to new as well as established tenants by honoring the classic and grand lobby of one of Denver’s most iconic buildings with modern amenities and better functionality. With this in mind, we sought to retain the grand gestures of architecture – the brass and mosaic ceilings, vaulted accents and granite finishes – while capitalizing on the volume of space with upgraded lighting, a new reception desk, and areas for visitors and tenants to gather outside the office. Working in conjunction with an experiential design firm and many specialized vendors, we also designed 70’ tall structures to accommodate a show-stopping interactive display. Visitors can enjoy these from both inside and out as they bring your eye up to experience the iconic architecture that has given this building it’s nickname and wide recognition throughout the City of Denver.

Venture Pearl Office

Venture South Pearl Street

The original failing 800-square-foot structure on site was at the end of its service life, no longer able to hold the Ventue’s growing staff. After determining to stay at the same location, a new 3,200-square-foot office was built in its place to reflect our culture and yet also relate to the historic South Pearl neighborhood around it. Outside, materiality, rhythm, and proportion were studied to create a modern building that responded to surrounding context. The two-level office building provides a diverse but integrated variety of amenities and spaces for staff and clients to comfortably and productively interact and focus with a large conference room, materials library, break room, and outdoor patio, as well as open office spaces, huddle rooms, a wellness room, and a mezzanine. Flanked entirely by large windows on nearly every side of the building, the site’s trees and distant mountain views are drawn into the interior, creating a “Tree House” feel on the second floor. Care was taken to incorporate flexibility so the building could be reused for many generations to come. It’s all tied together with a feature stair and two story windows connecting the building interior with the intersection of two busy streets; uniting interior motion and culture with the local neighborhood’s buzz and energy outside.

International School of Denver STEAM Building

International School of Denver STEAM Building

This building supports the school’s primary Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Music activities. Completed in 2017, the project updates an existing building with much needed features and options for students and faculty to study, experiment, and learn. It is a testament to the vision of the school and to its commitment to squeezing the most out of its current facility asset base. The building serves both Lower and Middle School students. We worked hard to craft this project and are proud of the school’s response to all that the facility offers.

Currently in the final design phases, this facility is the first step to recognizing the school’s new Master Plan. Its three stories will allow for an eventual, partial fourth floor. The upper half of the building is tailored to a clustered approach where students from each language tract can interact and share culture. The lower half supports both Lower and Middle School needs. This includes a Learning Center, Design / Maker Lab, Music, Art, and Science spaces. The statement building is a beacon that reminds the staff, students, and families that the school has matured into a robust statement for the best in education.

The school wanted to study and revitalize the campus. Venture had been serving the school’s small project needs and had been learning about their needs prior to being selected for this project. Our approach cast a wide net as we sought to understand current conditions and offer ideal solutions. The concept that was borne out of our process lays the path for a campus that is tailored to the school’s educational approach and commitment to bilingual, global citizens.

On this project, the Venture team took on the rehabilitation of a completely defunct 100+ year old building. Our first step was to analyze each building component and evaluate the best approach for restoring, replacing, or upgrading it. The age of the building proved both a challenge and an asset, and our design revealed the historic character of this unique space while incorporating modern systems that would set the property up for  new generation of use.

SloCo Apartments

Slo.Co Apartments

At five stories, this multi-family building will be home to nearly 100 young families and professionals. Largely composed of studio units, this project will add to its neighborhood along mass transit line and nearby redevelopment. It includes amenity support transparently integrated for pets, parties, and extra gear storage for bikes, skis, and boards. The design has been attentively crafted with business realities such as schedule, budget, and affordability closely in mind, but while preserving form and function.
