1. ArtPro
Client: SteelWave, 370 Interlocken Blvd., Broomfield
Art Pro is a local custom graphics printer and install-
er with an enormous range of products and professional
services. ArtPro’s superb in-house graphic designers bring
conceptual ideas into functional reality. To augment a mul-
tipurpose tenant lounge, ArtPro designed and created cus-
tom vinyl wall graphics inspired by a geometric upholstery
fabric pattern used on furniture pieces within the same
space. Translucent glass film, which echoed the same geo-
metric contours, offered both privacy and design continuity
for a fitness room off the main lounge space.
2. Merchants Office Furniture
Client: Engrain, 5660 Greenwood Plaza Blvd., Suite 350,
Greenwood Village
“Merchants” boasts 75 years in metro Denver. Mer-
chants’ recent partnership with West Elm Workspace With
Inscape offers a “resimercial” design strategy, a fusion of
residential personal style and commercial durability. That
marriage proved fortuitous for a real estate marketing firm
looking to embrace the industrial feel of a downtown loft
with just the right measure of residential impact. Mer-
chants worked tirelessly to blend the West Elm brand with
the client’s eclectic collection of unique artwork and signa-
ture pieces. The resulting open plan space featured a mix
of seating areas promoting the collaborative culture of the
highly mobile millennial staff and management.
3. K2
Client: QSC, 4888 Pearl East Circle, Suite 108, Boulder
Modern office space must fulfill the requirements for
both the aesthetic and the functional. That is, the success-
ful space must perform, especially in a specialized envi-
ronment. K2’s consulting services guided a Boulder-based
designer and manufacturer of audio and video systems
through the rigorous construction process for a high-tech-
nology office. K2’s recommendations for acoustic perfor-
mance and custom A/V systems designs transformed the
space from simple office to true working sound lab.
The finished space featured several multifunctional
hubs to allow design staff to build, test and tweak their new
technologies in-house without disturbing fellow coworkers.
5. The Lighting Agency
Client: SteelWave, Stanford Place III, 4582 S. Ulster St.,
Denver
Custom architectural lighting is as much technolo-
gy as artistry in today’s built environment. Denver-based
The Lighting Agency simplifies the complex process of
designing and installing architectural lighting and lighting
controls. For a remodel of an oddly shaped lobby with a
limited ceiling height, The Lighting Agency partnered with
the design team to implement a geometric cove light plan
that brought new life to a previously “vanilla” ceiling plane.
Its invaluable assistance provided guidance and support
through the installation, ensuring the overall, original vision
was functionally achieved.

4. Ramos Upholstery
Client: U Baron Group/Etai’s Bakery Café, 6400 S. Fiddlers
Green Circle, Greenwood Village
Restaurant seating spaces always require functionality,
and durability. When a local family owned catering and
food service company required custom banquette and
booth seating, they called upon local, family owned Ramos
Upholstery to provide the expert craftsmanship. Ramos
delivered custom furniture pieces that not only fit per-
fectly within the functional footprint, but upheld the clean
design aesthetic demanded by the project team. Ramos
Upholstery’s creative services helped shape the unique,
signature look of the restaurant through the reliability of
low-tech, high-level artistry for which they are so highly re-
garded.
