To be Creative and Passionate

Founded in 1978, SEM Architects has one of the largest portfolios in the commercial, retail and industrial sectors in the Rocky Mountain West region. Building on early commissions in the development industry, the fi rm has evolved from a business-focused enterprise to a full-service, design-oriented architectural practice.

In its fi rst decade, SEM advanced from serving local clients to playing roles in regional and national projects. By the mid-1990s, as the fi rm went national, its services grew to encompass comprehensive architectural, master planning, entitlements, and interior design services for our clients in retail, industrial, offi ce and build-to-suit markets. Recent years have seen an expansion of our portfolio to include local neighborhood retail and restaurants, regional mixed-use town centers, and offi ce parks and corporate headquarters, as well as roll-out programs for national retailers.

The hallmark of SEM’s work is its unparalleled customer service. Principals, directors and designers are an integral component of every project team at every stage, from initial vision, ideas and design concepts, to planning and construction phase services. Staff members are available for consultation at all junctures of every project. The fi rm’s achievements and its extensive referral network are testaments to the success of this approach, and to the grateful appreciation for its clients.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

SEM Architects combines improvisation with lateral thinking, a creative process for generating ideas, in order to break through accepted thinking while still operating within real-world constraints, resources, and support.

Lateral thinking develops solutions through an indirect approach that moves from a known idea to a new idea. With a strong foundation of technical expertise and carefully honed intuition, SEM designers improvise on the challenges and resources unique to each opportunity, inventing new thought patterns, practices, structures, or new ways that people could interact with spaces. The successful outcome is helping clients fi nd the distinctive solutions relevant to their situation.

The design process begins with an open dialog among clients, consultants, and the design team in a workshop setting, to develop the program; to analyze relevant case studies, and to create a framework that will bring the project to full fruition.

The full team establishes goals; collects, organizes, and analyzes data; formulates relationships, and establishes priorities, in order to defi ne the challenge

that the design solution will resolve. On this basis, the architects create a real-world design aimed at achieving the client’s objectives.

Case studies of similar projects serve as resources that inform the design process, enlighten the client on current design trends and suggest a platform for unique alternatives. Existing ideas become the basis for challenges to conventional thinking, with the ultimate goal of establishing the big idea — a defi ning concept and guiding infl uence, which will keep the design true to its origins and consistent with its objectives.

Through the Design Development and Contract Document phases of the project, SEM concentrates on documenting the project with best practices, stringent quality-control procedures, and coordination of all work. Detailed task lists, milestones and performance-based criteria verify the work of all project members as complete and accurate. The budget is vetted through cost/benefi t systems analysis and milestone estimates. Finally, the design intent established during the genesis of the project drives a consistently high quality of work through construction and project close-out.

STRUCTURE

Projects begin as individual design studios are assembled for a commission, bringing together an array of seasoned professionals, creative designers and developing talent. These tight-knit, diverse groups collaborate directly with clients to establish an in-depth understanding of the project goals that will fulfi ll the program.

Studios are led by a Principal, who take an active role in every aspect, working in creative collaboration with the client over the life of the project. Principals routinely fi ll the Project Architect role on a design team. Complemented by experienced Project Managers, they lead the design team and are in constant communication with the client.

The Principals’ experience is enhanced by a dedicated group of Associates and the invaluable resources of Directors, who are responsible for creating and maintaining quality and consistency in specifi c aspects of SEM’s practice. This personal attention and teamwork ensures the successful design, documentation and quality control of the client’s program.

New Urbanism

Twenty Ninth Street Mall unlike the mall that prefaced it, consists of a collection of smaller mulit-tenant retail buildings and big box stores clustered along a central spine.

Twenty Ninth Street Mall brings urban shopping sophistication to Boulder’s growing residential and professional communities. The genesis of the Twenty Ninth Street Mall was to redevelop an existing four-city block suburban mall into a thriving outdoor retail environment. The program for the entire project incorporates more than 800,000 square feet of offi ce, retail, entertainment, and restaurant space. The overall project budget totaled more than $75,000,000. SEM Architects was the Architect of Record and was responsible for Site Planning, Architectural Design, Tenant Coordination, and Contract Administration.

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.

Articulation and Fenestration

While the overall mass of the building remains quite simple in form, the building’s facades use a variety of articulation, fenestration and colored patterns to create visual interest that is complimentary to the surrounding context.

Designed as the fi rst of two buildings in this Medical Campus, this project incorporates programming for medical users; including Urgent Care, Imaging, as well as Primary Care and Specialists. Phase 1 of the project set at the base of the “hogback” along C-470 in Jefferson County Colorado. The building houses more than 63,000 square foot of state of the art medical space. The overall budget for the project was $5,500,000. SEM Architects was the design architect as well as the Architect of Record for the project. SEM was responsible for all of the entitlements, site planning, building design, interior space planning, and contract administration.

The project’s budget and program was fulfi lled using 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 from the building to create a covered drop off area for patients.

Long Lasting Materials

Westmoor Technology Park utilizes precast concrete panels and Arriscraft stone products to create a high level of permanence, one that will stand the test of time.

The Westmoor 10 phase of the Westmoor Technology Park in Westminster, Colorado is a 200,000 sq. ft. offi ce building. The overall project budget was approximately $17,000,000. SEM Architects was the Architect of Record for the project and was responsible for the site planning, design of the buildings, contract administration, as well as any tenant coordination that occurred as part of the leasing efforts.

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 the new medical offi ce building at 1655 Lafayette takes advantage of a prominent site in what will be a large redevelopment project. On a site that is under utilized in terms of density this new facility takes advantage of internal parking schemes to increase its densities while providing the opportunity for both clinical and medical offi ce space.

The design concept for 1655 Lafayette is based around the concept of integration. The buildings program while not atypical for the surrounding area, is larger than portions of its context. 1655 utilizes and is focused on breaking down the scale of the building into smaller components that assist in its relationship and presence within the neighborhood. The structure works to maximize the potential building footprint, while the facade of the building is compartmentalized into unique features that add variety and scale to the building. The concept of overlapping is prominent throughout the building to create depth and visual interest from all perspectives, while providing it’s users with accessible common amenities.

Bellco Credit Union at Eagles Nest Village in Aurora, Colorado represents the architectural distinction of utilizing design features from the surrounding master development to transform a prototypical branch banking facility into a dynamic contemporary esthetic. The utilization of the dramatic canted roof element and bold stucco color commands immediate attention to the credit unions main entrance. A similar effect is utilized over the drive-thru lanes creating additional interest and appeal to what typically becomes a secondary design component of a drive-thru banking facility. The mix of bold colors and materials with more traditional weathered stone and masonry provides a complimentary context of contemporary

architecture yet provides a softer, inviting experience as one approaches and enters the building.

The contemporary esthetic of the exterior continues to the interior of the facility, yet by utilizing a softer pallet of colors the member is made to feel welcome and comfortable. Member Services is placed prominently near the center of the main lobby featured by a large circular counter with a bold corresponding soffi t element above. This prominence promotes immediate assistance to all who enter.

The two-story, 88,000 square foot 24-Hour Fitness Super Sport facility at CornerStar was the fi rst mega-fi tness facility in the successful 24-Hour Fitness chain of fi tness facilities. The Super Sport facility features two swimming pools, a sauna, a steam room, 2 racquetball courts, one and a half basketball courts, an indoor running track, a large aerobics room, a spin room, numerous circuit weight machines, a large free weight area, a daycare facility, juice bar, and high end locker rooms. As the Architect of Record for the core and shell, SEM Architects worked closely with the tenant Architect as they developed the prototype for the new Super Sport concept.

The challenge with the large two-story structure, was to break up the facades to create interest and diversity in the building mass. This was accomplished by introducing large vertical window and glass block elements, utilizing bright corrugated metal panels at vertical elements, and providing large shade devices to create light and shade patterns on the large wall planes. The main entry was softened by utilizing a stained siding and a canopy lowered over the entry to create a more human scale experience upon arrival to the facility.

The center piece to the overall project is a large scale urban park that creates a strong sense of place for the visitor and for the daily user.

Gateway Park Station is located on the newly planned light rail route, connecting downtown Denver to Denver International Airport. The 17.5-acre site is located in the heart of an emerging commercial district which is anchored by the 1,300-acre Gateway Park. This station incorporates light rail and bus routes, and will ultimately serve a high volume of trips.

The goal of the Master Plan was to design an identifi able environment that would comfortably accommodate the multi-modal exchange, and serve as a catalyst for the surrounding infl uence area. The design concentrates mid-rise, mixed-use densities around a central plaza anchored to the rail stop. Pedestrian circulation from the Rail Station, would quickly emerge from a highly active transitional space into a open, urban scaled plaza, fi ltering to the business and services. The plaza would incorporate amenities designed for both the commuter and employee needs, including; fountains, kiosk and shaded seating areas. A bold arc connects the bus-station to the center of the plaza, offering a dramatic pond crossing en-route.

The Westerra Corporate Headquarters was a Build to Suit for Westerra Federal Credit Union incorporated into the redevelopment of Lowry Air Force Base in Denver, Colorado.The project totals more than 34,000 square feet, and incorporates corporate offi ces, operations center, call center, and walk in banking. The overall project budget was approximately $3,800,000. SEM Architects was the Architect of Record for the project and was responsible for the site planning, design, contract administration, as well as all of the interior design.

The design concept for the building 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 fi nancial institution.

Peakview Offi ce Plaza is master planned as a Class-A Offi ce complex with a total of 180,000 SF in two buildings. Phase One was completed in a four story, 95,000 Square Foot offi ce building and a 290 car parking structure. The overall project budget was approximately $8,000,000. SEM Architects was the Architect of Record for the project and was responsible for the site planning, design of the buildings, contract administration, as well as any tenant coordination that occurred as part of the leasing efforts.

Corporate Office

The concept for the building design was “Contemporary Classic”, appealing to both the traditional and contemporary senses of today’s business cultures. Rendered in high quality precast concrete, the exterior of the building projects a quiet stability. The rhythms, details and fenestration are carefully executed, and comfortable to the users. The interior common spaces continue the use of exacting detail and add richer materials and accents.

Peakview Office Plaza One is a prime example of Class A office. The building features high end finishes and amenities throughout. The lobby space sets the overall feel of the building with warm wood tones, chrome window frames, and natural stone materials on the floors and wall surfaces.

The Quad at Lowry incorporates 3 offi ce buildings and 2 parking structures totaling more than 400,000 square feet of offi ce space in the redevelopment of the old Lowry Air Force Base, in Denver, Colorado. The overall project budget was $30,000,000. SEM Architects was the architect of record on the project and was responsible for the overall site planning, architectural design as well as the tenant coordination.

The Quad at Lowry, was the fi rst large scale offi ce 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 fi eld, and intricate parapet line, all focusing on simple clean lines that are not only contemporary, yet timeless.

Classic Corporate

Grounding Masonry

The use of arriscraft stone and local brick materials gives these buildings a strong contextual relationship to the traditional office buildings located throughout the Denver metropolitan area.

The 327 building was originally developed as a built to suit for an international data management house to supplement their corporate training and gathering needs. As the cultural hub of that operation, the 140,000 square foot facility included multiple corporate training venues, prefunction areas, a catering kitchen, conference spaces and offi ces, and data support functions. SEM Architects was the architect of record on the project and was responsible for the overall site planning, architectural design and interior design program for the building.

The design incorporated durable, permanent materials as the background for fl exible spaces, and harvested natural daylight through the prefunction areas. The project was sited to allow access from the fl anking buildings, and allowed secured employee travel between structures. The training environments were designed to be convertible for small or large functions and incorporated multi-media components to facilitate reconfi guration. All areas were served by the kitchen complex, and that design allowed for multiple functions to be held simultaneously while serving the campus employee food service needs.

Multi-Functional Office

Grand Common Spaces

This facility put a strong emphasis on the public and common spaces performing as pre-function spaces to the training and conference facilities. Natural light and interior glass provides a strong connection to the outdoors.

Whether the design is for a corporate headquarters, high tech data center or customer service environment, the basic concerns regarding public space versus private space, customer experience, product control and security are paramount to the operation’s success.
