We celebrated the grand opening of Nest56 yesterday! The 56-unit affordable housing community offers fully furnished homes for youth ages 18-24 who are transitioning out of the foster care system or living on the streets because of family conflict, abuse, neglect, poverty, or other hardships. Big thanks to TGTHR (formerly Attention Homes), Pennrose and Rivet Development Partners for spearheading such an essential project for our city! Milender White

We're thrilled to announce that we are now the third architectural firm in Colorado to earn a JUST label from the International Living Future Institute! This journey began in 2020 with our AIA 2030 commitment and evolved into a firm-wide dedication to sustainability and social equity. By 2022, we dove deep into J.E.D.I. principles and took action by understanding requirements for the JUST label. This label, which is often referred to as a nutrition label for socially just and equitable organizations, reflects our commitment to social justice, equity, sustainability, diversity, and inclusion. Proud of this achievement and excited about the positive impact it will have on our team and community! . . . #JUSTLabel #Sustainability #Equity #Diversity #Inclusion #shearsadkinsrockmore #architects #designers 

Introducing… Tentacular Petal Dance 🌺 We had a blast at Modern In Denver Magazine's Design in Bloom event, where creative minds come together to showcase innovative and architecturally inspired floral displays. "Tentacular Petal Dance" is a mix of art and architecture, crafted by hand from over 2000 feet of steel wire. Instead of using digital models, we went hands-on, shaping each sinew and curve with intention and precision. Hovering upside down with its tentacles reaching outwards, this design is all about wonder and fluidity. We’re honored to have won a People’s Choice Award - thanks to everyone who supported us! #DesignInBloom #PeoplesChoiceAward #ModernInDenver

Happy Earth Day! Today & every day, we strive to honor our built environment by championing resilient and forward-thinking design practices that prioritize its well-being. In recent years, we've embraced the use of heavy timber in our designs, recognizing its numerous benefits for the environment. We’re thrilled to unveil our latest timber project, the Ballfield at Auraria, a four-story timber building situated at the Auraria Higher Education Center serving as a home base for a number of mission aligned partners and adding a vibrant hub for the campus and wider community. The building is scheduled to start construction this fall and be completed by the 2025 school year.
