For the new home of the Denver 360 program, R+B designed and renovated two spaces in Five Points Plaza in the heart of Denver’s Historic Five Points District. A once proud and thriving neighborhood long in decline, it was important for the entire team that this program be located within the community they serve and accessible by public transportation. The project sends a message of renewal by showing investment that extends far beyond the cost of construction. The program provides family counseling services and helps parents prepare for and find employment. The driving design concept was to create offices, classrooms and training spaces that are professional and welcoming for Denver 360’s customers. The modest, clever design focuses on simple, warm finishes to create an inviting environment. In the reception area, colorful ceiling clouds of Tectum acoustical panels and pendant lights create charm and reduce the scale of the existing space. The clouds subtly reference the mission of the 360 program.
