This remodel to a historic structure in Downtown Golden will update one of the original buildings on the Golden main street to provide restaurant space at the ground level and several apartment units on the second floor. This building predates the paved roads in Golden and can be spotted in photos from this area taken in the 1800’s. Rather than demolishing the building and replacing with a new structure, the ownership team decided transform this former shop and meeting hall to new programming much needed in Golden.
The 900 Grant Storage project created a unique design challenge in converting an existing office building into a mixed-use building that maintains storage units on the upper floor with street-facing retail and restaurant space on the ground floor. Carbon fiber technology, wrapping beams and columns, were used to provide the structural capacity to support the larger floor loads.
The Flatirons Church broadcast campus with large space for worship, gatherings and more. This building was an adaptive reuse of two previous large retail buildings, that were combined to create the new Flatirons Church headquarters in Lafayette.
Denver Christian Schools is a great example of re-purposing an existing industrial training facility into a Pre-K–12 combined campus. Structural work included adding 2 competition gymnasiums, seismic upgrades throughout the existing structure, and the elimination of 6,500 sf of the existing floor by way of external steel trusses to support the existing roof to create a two-story-tall internal auditorium.
