Our architecture is one of collaboration. We seek
to harness the skills and experience of the entire
project team. The successful culmination of
this process is where the architecture is clearly
understood. A timeless architecture that blends
with its surroundings and has its own presence.
Our ultimate goal is to create meaningful
environments that our clients and their users are
passionate about.
At SEM Architects, Architecture is the art of composing spaces that respond to environmental conditions and address a client’s program. We direct our energy towards an architecture born of human needs; that responds to physical, environmental, social, and economic circumstances. We are not vendors of fashionable trends, but believe that good design defi nes our environment. Truly innovative design is a source of inspiration to those who encounter it every day.

The Streets at SouthGlenn is the redevelopment of the existing
SouthGlenn Mall into a mixed-use Community Center for
the City of Centennial. The redevelopment plan develops a
Town Center between the existing Macy’s and Sears stores,
and expands the on-site development to the perimeter of the
property to include additional retail shops, restaurants, banks
and services. The center is vertically mixed with below-grade
parking, street level retail shops and either residential units or
office space on the upper floors. Specific components of The
Streets at SouthGlenn are being designed to LEED standards.
The project is scheduled for completion in late 2010.

The genesis of the Twenty Ninth Street Mall was to redevelop
an existing four-city block suburban mall into a thriving retail
environment. The resulting design created three distinct
shopping and entertainment districts, enlivened by weaving
the Boulder street grid throughout the development. The
project’s challenges were met by designing the primary retail
and plaza over an 800 car parking deck, and providing a variety
of leasing opportunities. The design includes distinct building
vocabularies; utilizing dramatic massing and geometry, as well
as a lively color palette, that responds to the context of the
existing city and natural features of Boulder, Colorado. Twenty
Ninth Streel Mall also incorporated a strong sustainability
component, including green design, and a tenant design
criteria that supports sustainable design.

Urgent Care and Imaging, as well as Primary Care and Specialists.
The project’s budget and program was fulfilled using a tilt-up
concrete construction. By utilizing a unique approach to panel
design, window patterning and fenestration; the multi colored
wall panels create variation and rhythm that tie the building
together to create a clean contemporary image. The main entry
feature is the focal point of the building as it dynamically extends

The high visibility retail shops are located at the entrance to the
Southlands project located along E-470 in Aurora, Colorado.
The project consists of five separate buildings that front the
overall development. The design concept was for each building
to be broken down into smaller components that enhance the
village feel of the spaces and create enticing interstitial spaces.
Each component of the facade is uniquely detailed and its
identity is distinctively different than that of its counterpart. The
warm tones of the brick and the lush landscaping work to create
a relaxing and inviting environment that the end user will feel
comfortable in for extended periods of time.

After 10+ years in our current space, SEM Architects interior
needed to be updated. The design of the space was infused
with new textures and a more contemporary color palette. The
studio space takes advantage of the floor to ceiling window walls
and abundance of natural light which allowed us to introduce
a deeper darker paint scheme, that offsets the richly colored
work spaces. The carpeting brings the whole space together by
using a more textured ashlar pattern of tile, that brings dynamic
movement to the floor. The main reception area and reception
desk were redesigned to incorporate a new wood display wall
that is set off by a contemporary and monolithic desk, with rich
colors and subtle textures.

The Westmoor 10 phase of the Westmoor Technology Park in
Westminster, Colorado is a 200,000 sq. ft. office building. The
design concept for Westmoor 10 incorporates traditional forms,
and a variety of balanced materials and fenestration patterns.
The focal point of the building is the main entry feature, which
reveals itself as a sliver of glass, that is compressed between two
stone masses. The relationship of the glass and stone create
a unique tension that commands attention, and draws the
pedestrian to the entry. The buildings simplicity plays out as the
base of the building is articulated with a course stone pattern,
while the upper levels are composed of horizontally articulated
pre-cast panels.

The design concept for these buildings was to create a unique
blend of traditional retail space, while incorporating non-
traditional building materials, and contemporary forms. The
buildings are situated high above the street, taking advantage
of the grades with massive retaining walls that allow for heavily
landscaped areas. The buildings were designed to be iconic
elements on the horizon. The aluminum grating creates a
transparent quality as they protrude from the facade and their
sharp angles touch the sky. The exterior lighting provides great
accent, and warmth, while the base of the buildings take on a
warmer more tactile feel as the split face block and warm colors
come to the ground.

North Creek Shops are located in the heart of North Cherry
Creek, in Denver, Colorado, and incorporate five different
buildings in one city block. The design is centered on the village
concept that Cherry Creek North has established throughout
the area. Each building has its own identity, one that separates
it from the others, yet fits into the Cherry Creek North aesthetic.
The buildings are all designed to incorporate traditional brick
details and massing that is appropriate to the historic old
Denver brick bungalows that surround the area. The parking
for the buildings is located in the rear, with access coming from
the alleyway.

The Denver Public Schools Credit Union is incorporated into the
redevelopment of Lowry Air Force Base in Denver, Colorado.
The design concept for the credit union was to integrate the
old school building feel, with that of a new up to date banking
facility. This concept was achieved by combining classic forms,
traditional fenestration, and appropriately scaled materials. The
entry feature of the building recalls the traditional brick gable
of the old school houses, while the new horizontal window
patterns articulate the more classic school look. Oversized
masonry was used to bring the scale of the building into a more
cohesive design, while the color and texture of the brick bring
out the quality and permanence of the financial institution.

This dealership is a site adaptation of the national Lexus image
package that required extensive site improvements. While the
design of the facility was driven by the Lexus image package, the
common design element was the two-story showroom volume.
This large volume of space is accentuated by a minimalist glass
curtain wall that creates a warm and inviting image to the
passerby. The remainder of the building is constructed with
warm colored pre-cast concrete panels that create a consistent
cap along the top of the curtain wall pieces, and work in
contrast to the glowing showroom piece. The buildings entry
feature provides for a dramatic approach as the consumers
enter the site, and allows for easily identifiable and accessible
services.

1000 South Colorado connsisits of two speculative retail
buildings on an urban infill site in Glendale, Colorado. The
site, located along Colorado Boulevard, has limited frontage,
and posed a variety of challenges in creating viable visibility
for retailers. This challenge was met by creating an iconic
architecture that creates a billboard effect perpendicular to
the main thoroughfare. Building A features a large internally
illuminated glass structure that soars out to the street with large
over scaled numbers, while Building B uses a vertical glass tower
to bring a presence to the back of the site. Each of the building’s
glass features are complimented with contemporary masonry
anchored corners that create a strong mass which balances the
transparent elements and ladder frame canopies that create a
unique play of light and shadow to the facade.

The original factory outlet stores had become dated and were
in need of revitalization. The deteriorated retail shopping
center needed a significant renovation. The program was
to significantly increase the scale of the retail presence,
greatly enhance the tenant identification, and create upscale
improvements to the pedestrian amenities. Iconic mountain
themes now share prominence with contemporary graphics,
and features such as a fire pit, boulders, and bridges that work
to create a new retail environment. The resulting design offers
the consumer a pleasing environment that is not only warm
and inviting, but also offers the existing retailers a new level of
presence and awareness throughout the valley.

The Mainstreet at Flatiron is a shadow retail center to the Flatirons
Mall in Broomfield, Colorado, consisting of four buildings and
a 300 car parking structure. These retail buildings take on the
contemporary mountain aesthetic that is prevalent throughout
the Flatiron development by using natural materials contrasted
with contemporary forms and angular shapes. These buildings
offer strong ground planes anchored with natural stone,
gracious walkways, and soaring roof lines. The buildings use
deep overhangs to not only provide covered walkways for the
pedestrian but to enrich the facade with strong contrasting
shade and shadow elements. The building’s neutral color
palette is offset by the use of strong primary colors on exposed
structural steel elements to bring a contemporary flavor to the
center.

Tiffany Plaza was an outdated existing center that was

retail building of 12,000 sq. ft., and a face lift for the remaining
80,000 sq. ft. of retail space. The design for the project was
centered around the addition of Whole Foods to the shopping
center. The corner entry feature at Whole Foods is capped off
with a complex curving copper canopy supported by an open
truss. The adjacent buildings were simplified by changing the
fenestration patterns, and creating new parapets that provide
for updated signage. The retail pad building is tied into the
remainder of the center with the same aesthetics to provide a
cohesive look to the entire center.

Phase Four of the Westmoor Technology Park in Westminster,
Colorado introduces two office buildings that total a little
more than 300,000 sq. ft. of traditional office space. The
design concept for Westmoor 8 & 9 introduces a dynamic
relationship between the classical corporate office building
and the contemporary architecture that juxtaposes it at the
entry features. This juxtaposition at the entry features creates
a dynamic tension as the the two architectural pieces come
together to form the entry spaces. The remainder of the building
plays out as simple monochromatic precast wall panels that are
filled with intricate reveal patterns and textured sections that
create a subtle play of light and shadow.

The Quad at Lowry, was the first large scale urban office project in
the redevelopment of the old Lowry Air Force Base, in Denver,
Colorado. Each of the buildings are designed as part of
a campus. The three buildings play off of each other and
address the street frontage in different ways. Each building
is interconnected with pedestrian ways, and all share in a
common parking structure. The design of the buildings
follows a traditional tripartite scheme, with the stone base, the
brick field, and intricate parapet line, all focusing on simple
clean lines that are not only contemporary, but timeless.

The Westmoor 7 phase of the Westmoor Technology Park
in Westminster, Colorado is a 200,000 sq. ft. office building.
The design concept for Westmoor 7, is an elegant mass void
relationship as the window pattern rhythm is set off by the organic
form at the entry. The entry feature’s senuous curve is starkly
opposed to the punched and ribbon openings throughout the
remainder of the building’s facade. The building’s materials
reinforce this concept as they are represented by pre-cast
concrete panels, and glass curtain wall. Along the southern
facade, the entry walk turns and continues along the edge of
the building and leads the pedestrian to an outdoor gazebo,
providing relief from the high plains and its sun.

The design of this single user office building is centered around
the idea of creating a contemporary building that has the
presence and permanence of a classically designed building
that is representative of the company and the core values that
make up the Brannan Sand and Gravel Company. The forms
of the building are clean and sharp and as two opposing grids
come together they reveal the entry feature. The materials
differentiate the internal uses as the conference rooms and
common spaces are articulated with horizontally patterned
stone and curtain wall system, while the open office plan follows
a more traditional stone pattern with punched openings. The
executive offices line the western elevation, maximizing the day
lighting opportunities with floor to ceiling glass and a curved
metal panel facade.

This corporate campus was designed for CARR America, which
includes six buildings and five parking structures, while also
incorporating a public/private parking structure in association
with the new RTD light rail. The campus design concept
provided for each building to have its own associated parking
deck, while also providing a variety in building forms and
details. Buildings are coupled together to create positive
outdoor spaces, and public gathering spaces, while other
buildings in the campus take on a more formal approach
as they address the street edges and entry sequences. The
materials of the buildings are a blend of pre-cast, brick and
stone, all of which are engrained in their Colorado heritage.

This remodel of a 20,000 sq. ft. previous domestic franchise
facility provides an elegant, high line showroom and display
area for new and used import sales. The concept for the new
dealership was to inflect, in its design, the level of sophistication
and class that is associated with the imported automobile.
These ideas are portrayed in the building with its clean lines, the
transparency of the ground floor, and its use of simple, elegant,
materials. The gentle curve and the clear aluminum metal
panels allow the light to reflect off of it while the clear glass
ground floor creates the crispness of a newly detailed vehicle.

This new Toyota dealership is located in the Denver West area
of Lakewood, Colorado and anchors the southeast corner of the
Colorado Mills Mall Development. Located off of 6th Avenue
and Interstate 70, this site commands a distinctive building. The
design concept for the dealership is centered around its corner
showroom and its visibility from the interstate. While the forms
of the building are somewhat reflective of the opposing foothills
to the Rocky Mountains, they aspire to create a certain tension
or visual interest that entices the public. The hard angles and
their juxtaposition to each other, create a variety of exterior
spaces while also providing a visual link between the forms.
The transparency and verticality all inspire to create a visually
dynamic and naturally lit building that is warm and inviting.

This facility updated an established sales point within the Toyota
franchise. The project integrated regional off-road and truck
merchandising concepts within the established “Image USA
2” national design program mandated by the manufacturer.
The Stapp family enhanced their sales and service presence
within the region, strengthening their 50 year history with the
brand, and the personal relationships that they have maintained
during that time. The site highlighted their prominent freeway
frontage, and employed native rock formations and terrain
features to create a linear vehicle display gallery unique to the
Toyota brand in the United States.

The Riverside Business Center, a 600,000 cross dock facility,
is one of the newest and sleekest facilities for Lauth Property
Group. This large warehouse is broken down architecturally
by unique corner features that provides tenants with clear
identities, and strong images in what is typically a very
functionally and understated building. The architecture along
with the landscaping and lighting work together to create a
dramatic inviting environment that compliments the native
desert. The design incorporates sharp contrasting colors on
overlapping panels and soaring glass openings at the corners,
while providing the opportunity for future entrances at the
building’s midpoint. The remainder of the building uses simple
reveal patterns and complimentary colors to complete the
composition.
