PROJECT OF THE WEEK • OFFICE FURNITURE
Teammates incorporates Teknion’s
architectural walls into St. Anthony North
T
eammates partnered with local general contractor GE Johnson and Nash-
ville-based architecture firm ESA to incorporate Teknion’s Optos Architec-
tural Wall into the space. Functionality and aesthetic merge seamlessly in
this 350,000-square-foot building. The glass walls and large, sliding barn doors
provide full-height division, yet their seamless transparency allows natural light to
penetrate to the interior spaces.
Optos walls are used at the check-in bays throughout the hospital. This allows
the check-in bays to remain acoustically private, but maintains the open and light
feel the client desired. Local 3M installer Solar Vision provided light frosting to the
glass storefronts to aid in maintaining HIPAA privacy standards.
The Teknion walls are also used as the enclosures for the gift shop, main waiting
area and main conference room. They create a physical barrier so the areas can be
locked off after hours, but allow visual transparency between the spaces and the
lobby.
St. Anthony North Health Campus is slated to open its doors in March.
PROJECT OF THE WEEK • INTERIOR DESIGN
BurkettDesign mimics seismic patterns
in design of Cimarex corporate HQ
C
imarex, a leader in oil and gas exploration and production, has operations in
Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico, and is headquartered in Denver. The new
90,000-square-foot corporate headquarters is located at 1700 Lincoln St. in
downtown Denver.
The firm’s unique exploration process influenced the design process. During the
exploration process, Cimarex collects seismic data that is transmitted via seismic
sound waves. BurkettDesign mimicked the seismic patterns created by this pro-
cess throughout the space. Seismic rings, striation of rock, and the energy below
the Earth’s surface are reflected in the stacked stone walls, etched glass, and the
echo rings created in the drywall ceiling, which is mirrored in an expansive marble
floor pattern.
PROJECT OF THE WEEK • CONSTRUCTION
Vertex demolishes, renovates Boulder
office space adjacent to Pearl Street
V
ertex was contracted to perform general contracting services for an executive office
client with whom the firm has worked in the past and continues to work with today.
The project consisted of full interior demolition of a three-story office building in
Boulder, adjacent to the Pearl Street Mall.
The high-profile address required a lot of planning for materials deliveries and job site
access.While other floors were still being demolished, framing began on the upper level and
worked its way down. The team of subcontractors had to show a successful track record in
high-end finishes and state-of-the-art materials.
The floor plan includes conference rooms, recharge bar, kitchens, reception/lobby, huddle
rooms, communications center, etc.The final product includes cutting-edge design features
while still serving as an efficient executive office suite concept.With most of the design team
out of state,Vertex relied heavily on photographs and video communication to ensure adher-
ence to the strict specs. The project was finished on time and on budget.
PROJECT OF THE WEEK • INTERIOR DESIGN
Kieding designs local space
for international firm Trelleborg
T
relleborg is the recognized global leader in polymer seal technologies with
offices and manufacturing facilities worldwide. The company's sole Colorado
operation is located in 51,000 square feet of flex space in Louisville.
With an eye on its Swedish roots, local managers sought a progressive design
with clean lines on a neutral palette punctuated by splashes of bright color. Open
office areas feature state-of-the-art workstations with adjustable desk heights,
fully articulating flat-screen displays and task lighting. Softer, modern seating
clusters serve to separate departments and act as ad hoc collaboration areas. An
abundance of concrete, glass and exposed ceilings all promote an industrial motif
across the blend of office and light manufacturing space.
