DESIGNING PLACES PEOPLE REMEMBER

Award-winning architecture and interiors for hospitality, commercial, and residential environments that inspire connection and create lasting experiences.

SELECTED WORK

ELECTRA PAVILION

Electra Pavilion reimagines the Telluride Conference Center as a vibrant year-round destination for live music, weddings, conferences, dining, and community events. Inspired by the energy of Mountain Village, the design creates a flexible gathering place that seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor experiences.

Designed to bring people together through exceptional food, thoughtful design, and memorable experiences, Morso blends warm natural materials, refined detailing, and carefully crafted lighting to create a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere. Every design decision was made to enhance the guest experience and support the flow of the restaurant. We are especially grateful that Morso marks our fifth restaurant collaboration with Chef Hosea Rosenberg—a partnership built on trust, shared vision, and a passion for creating memorable places.

MORSO

ILLEGAL
PETE'S

Our long-standing partnership with Illegal Pete's includes four locations, including Wheat Ridge, South Boulder, Denver University, and the company's corporate headquarters. Each restaurant captures the brand's bold, unconventional personality while creating vibrant gathering spaces that support great food, community, and authentic hospitality.

Stio’s first retail store on Colorado’s Front Range introduced a new design concept for the brand’s future locations. Inspired by its Jackson Hole roots, the space combines natural materials, thoughtful detailing, and a refined mountain aesthetic to create an authentic retail experience that connects customers with the outdoors.

CLOTHING

SANTO

Inspired by Chef Hosea Rosenberg's hometown of Taos, New Mexico, Santo celebrates the rich culture, architecture, and flavors of the Southwest. Warm natural materials, handcrafted details, and a custom Zia chandelier create an authentic dining experience rooted in Northern New Mexican tradition.

Designed from the ground up, this 4,000-square-foot custom home embraces an active Colorado lifestyle. An open main level creates a natural gathering place for family and friends, while expansive views connect the home to Coal Creek Ranch Golf Course and the Front Range. Recreation continues outdoors with a sand volleyball court, basketball court, in-ground trampoline, and hot tub.

"We're receiving tons of compliments on the design and use of the space. The neighborhood is ecstatic."
