Dreams
L3 - Leyden Lift Lofts
Arvada, Colorado - Designed 2019
Working off the original plans, I was able to model the as-built structural frame, demo the hoppers and tubes and then add floors, elevator core and window and wall skin. Imagining it as a residential live-work (because Arvada zoning would allow it once annexed) I expanded the ground floor to provide more ground floor units and balconies to the 2nd floor. Lastly, I made a rec lounge/skydeck with spa and pool that would be rented out for events or made a restaurant.
