 Harmony Technology Park Flex Office/Warehouse
Fort Collins, Colorado
$3,100,000 • 2010
Client: MAV Development
The Harmony Technology Park flex project is a speculative 50,000 sq. ft. multi-tenant office/warehouse facility, to be built as part of the Harmony Technology Park. Spaces are designed to be configured in modules of 3,000-5,000 sq. ft., all with access to loading docks that are screened by the building design from public view.
The building was designed with a series of major and minor entry points to provide not only the necessary flexibility for different sized tenants, but to also break down the massing and facade treatments in a building type that can be bland and impersonal. Office uses with expanses of glass are planned for the building corners to provide transparency and visual interest.
Entrances are designed on a rotated grid to create unique and dynamic approaches, while contrasting against the larger overall mass of the building. Materials include precast concrete panels, brick masonry accent fin walls, storefront glazing and steel entry canopies.
Professional services to date included conceptual design, 3-D computer renderings and other marketing materials.

 Ice Energy Tenant Finish
Fort Collins, Colorado
$1,500,000 • 2010
Client: Bellisimo Inc.
The 45,800 sq. ft. tenant finish and exterior facade rehabilitation for Ice Energy will convert a former "big box" retail store into a state-of-the-art corporate headquarters for Ice Energy, manufacturer of rooftop ice storage systems. The facility will include 19,000 sq. ft. of office and administrative space and 26,800 sq. ft. of testing and research/development laboratories.
The guiding principle for the facade rehabilitation was to create a new and compelling exterior image for the building. The facade was redesigned to add a new entrance lobby, a large glass box with a smaller "cube" element engaged and moving through the glass facade, representing both "ice" and "energy". The "energy" cube also occurs in the lobby to form a reception area, reinforcing this design concept on the interior of the building. The large glass "ice" box is enclosed at the top and on the north to both frame and focus views to the southwest. This simple but powerful architectural gesture will be unique in the mid-town landscape and, in conjunction with the entry plaza and building approaches, transforms the buildingÕs language from big box retail to innovative, high tech corporate.
Professional services to date included conceptual design, 3-D computer renderings and alternative space planning concepts.
