White Construction Group completed the Emerson Street Rowhouses in Capitol Hill. The 17,531-square-foot building located at 1310 Emerson St. comprises eight three-story row homes. White Construction Group Project Manager Eric Oberlander and Superintendent Dave Maxey teamed up with Meridian 105 Architecture and 1310 Emerson Development LLC to deliver the project. White Construction Group also completed the Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales Branch Library located at 1498 N. Irving St. in Denver. The 26,973-sf exterior facade is highlighted by a series of horizontal “threads.” When discussing the building’s façade, principal architect Joseph Montalbano with Studiotrope Design Collective said, “Each thread is a symbol for the unique members of the community. As these threads turn southward away from Colfax, they pass through the Wonderwall. Not unlike a loom, the Wonderwall causes the threads to interlace into a rich tapestry of textural patterns. The surrounding walkways feature a radiant-heat snowmelt system. Water efficient native plants landscape the surrounding library. The interior includes natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows, solatubes, skylights and a colorful carpet palette. The library also features a private study, arts and crafts room and large conference space, as well as a children’s library and second-floor courtyard. White Construction Group Project Manager Robert Fellows and Superintendent Joe Gimeno teamed up with Studiotrope Design Collective to deliver a library.
