Sugar Cube, Denver USA

The project is located on the 16th Street Mall, a major public pedestrian thoroughfare that runs through the city of Denver. The building features a central ten-storey volume in manganese-coloured brick, and two building volumes wrapping around it at ist base, one rising 4 storeys and one six storeys, both in buff bruck.

The architecture of the SugarCube is about the art of mutual accommodation between what is old and new and between the city and its citizens. This mixed-use development project introduces a new model and strategy for making contemporary architecture within the historic Lower Downtown Heritage District (LoDo) of Denver, Colorado.
