THIS RENOVATION PROJECT IN A MIXED RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT NEAR CENTRAL DENVER IS A CONVERSION OF AN EXISTING APARTMENT BUILDING INTO CONDOMINIUMS. CONSTRUCTION WAS COMPLETED IN 2006.

THE LOS ANGELES BASED DEVELOPER REQUESTED A CONTEMPORARY DESIGN CONCEPT TO CHANGE THE CHARACTER OF THE ORIGINAL BUILDING INTO A MORE DISTINCTIVE PROPERTY. THE DESIGN APPROACH WAS DEVELOPED TO ACCOMPLISH A SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE IN THE BUILDING CHARACTER WITH A MODEST BUDGET. EXISTING OPENINGS REMAINED AS IS. THE EXISTING BRICK BUILDING SKIN ALSO REMAINED IN PLACE. NEW METAL ELEMENTS WERE ADDED TO FRAME THE BUILDING ENTRANCE AND CREATE NEW BALCONIES .
