Union West

Accomplishments & Design Solution

With impressive views of the Denver skyline and the benefit of a site naturally sloping to the east, the building steps with grade, scaling down the mass and allowing views from many residences. Fully screening a pre-cast parking structure, the building wraps the perimeter of the site, creating intimate courtyards internal to the site. The activity of the amenity wing draws the visitor up the hill, greeting them upon arrival. Hipped roofs, with deep eave overhangs, soften the roof line and allow the building to sit appropriately within its Front Range context.

Union West provides residents with convenient access to light rail, nearby trails, and regional amenities, while offering a full range of community spaces and resort-style features designed to take advantage of the site’s views, topography, and outdoor setting.
