The making of the Plaza of the Americas ✨ Biennial Culture Club members will be getting an inside look at next week’s CultureHop at @raw_creative, @bld_studio_’s fabrication partner space, this week to see the process firsthand. More than 20 years in the making, the Plaza of the Americas is moving toward groundbreaking, bringing public art, green space, and secure bike parking infrastructure to the heart of Downtown Denver. The Biennial has helped activate this space for years through cultural programming and public art, and we’re proud to be part of what’s next. At the heart of it all: a mosaic installation by Biennial artist @anamariahernandoart, woven into the bike parking structure itself. Originally from 🇦🇷 Argentina, now based in Colorado, Hernando is using glass tile to bring color, warmth, and a handcrafted interpretation of nature to the space, a human touch inside an engineered structure. This is placemaking in progress: connectivity, culture, and community of the Americas, taking shape in real time. Curious about Culture Club and all of our member events? Visit our link in bio. Thank you to our partners @eastwestpartners @continuumpartners @bld_studio_ @raw_creative @sasakidesign @blackcube.museum @anamariahernandoart

A new bike hub is coming to downtown Denver. 🚲 Construction has begun on a new public bike hub at Plaza of the Americas near 16th Street and Wewatta. The project will transform the existing plaza with new landscaping, gathering spaces, and a secure bike hub designed for commuters and visitors. The open-air pavilion will provide secure bicycle parking, public bike rentals, and feature a custom perforated concrete facade that gives the structure its unique architectural identity. According to the project team, the redevelopment has been nearly 20 years in the making and is expected to open this fall. Read more about the project now. Link in bio. Development Team Developer: Continuum Partners - continuumpartners Architect: bld studio - @bld_studio_ Landscape Architect: Sasaki - @sasakidesign Fabricator: RAW Creative - @raw_creative Project Partner: Downtown Denver Partnership - @downtowndenver #developingdenver The bike hub will provide secure bicycle parking for commuters and visitors while also offering public bike rentals.

Are rising construction costs holding you back? It all starts with a thoughtful design to achieve your goals. This home, designed by BLDSTUDIO, was tailored to budget. On a challenging site, the team engineered a creative foundation strategy that reduced the footprint, maintained the same livable area, showcased architectural intent, and lowered foundation costs by 17%. Additionally, we utilized a hybrid of conventional framing and structural insulated panels (SIPs), reducing framing labor by 23% while improving energy performance and construction efficiency.

We created the symbol to match the unique forms they developed for each of their bespoke concrete creations—a mark that feels rigid yet dynamic.

Turns out making a curved desk out of a single slab of live-edge wood is about as hard as it sounds. But we love a good challenge. We used age-old cooperage techniques combined with modern CNC technology to mill individual ‘staves’. Held together with tension bolts, each piece was shaped to fit the radius of the curve and account for the wood’s natural expansion and contraction over time. Underneath you can see concrete panels we cast and colored to mimic the look and feel of basalt rock that also account for the curve. Architect/Designer: @bld_studio_ 📷: @laceyknaffblea

“What got you here, won’t get you there.” It’s a common adage in marketing, and any entrepreneur will know it rings true. That’s why we were excited to dive back into the state of business and creative work at @raw_creative—arguably, one of Denver’s most exciting fabrication studios. Over the last few years, we’ve collaborated on comprehensive brand copywriting and workshop photography for this bar-setting team, and we were excited to recently reconnect with the founders to create a sustainable email marketing strategy that continues to spread the work about their impressive capabilities. If you haven’t signed up for their newsletter—now’s the time!
