Mtn View Management was looking for a design-savvy home centrally located in Northern Colorado for their quickly-expanding operations. The client was interested in creating a budget-friendly building that will welcome their employees to innovative & inspiring office & training spaces.
At under 7,300 sf, the facility accommodates a large warehouse for equipment, including workspaces & laundry, a training room for employees, and an open office workspace with associated private offices, a conference room, and a breakroom with adjacent exterior courtyard. Thoughtful space programming as a part of schematic design allowed for seamless transitions, adjacencies, and allocation of areas to provide an efficient and highly functional project for the client.
The structure addresses the local vernacular by utilizing both expressive timber and masonry as well as metal building elements. Daylighting through southern clerestory windows and architectural shading approaches provide functional workspaces while controlling associated heat gain. Buiding location on the site was carefully considered to take advantage of both visibility and entry as well as southern exposure for the abovementioned methods.
LOCATED: Larimer County Colorado
STATUS: To be completed end of 2020
