The project is a 16,000-square-foot\nexpansion of the historic Rocky Mountain Seed Building, which replaces a drab\nsurface parking lot and contributes to the richness and walkability of Denver\u2019s\ndowntown community. "]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"GoSpotCheck was founded in Denver in\n2011 as a small startup, but the staff quickly blossomed to 60 employees. The\nstaff has grown even more in the intervening years, making GoSpotCheck\u2019s\nheadquarters in the historic building feel cramped. By expanding the building,\nthe design team has ensured that the local startup can retain its prominent\nposition on Market Street. "]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"For its initial approach, the design\nteam examined all aspects of the neighborhood, exploring the diversity of\nscales and material choices, from brick and heavy timber commercial storefronts\nfrom the 1880s to the city\u2019s newest glass and steel high-rise office towers.\nThe expansion draws on the proportions and scale of the Rocky Mountain Seed\nBuilding and its peers in the neighborhood, but instead of masonry employs\nsteel and glass construction. The expansion reveals the building\u2019s inner\nworkings, reflecting the ethos of a startup tech company and completing the\nstreetscape."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"The new structure is among the first of\nits kind in the neighborhood, serving as a beacon and marking an important\ngateway from the south and east. Recycled steel and raw glulam beams as well as\ntongue-and-groove wood decking reveal what is typically hidden by masonry to passersby.\nA custom-designed steel curtainwall system comprises the exterior and includes\naluminum-clad wood windows. All eight sections of the curtainwall were\nfabricated off-site, shortening the construction schedule and offering a high\nlevel of attention to the project\u2019s defining element. "]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"Inside, the addition encourages\nengagement among employees and the surrounding public realm. A wide central\nstair draws natural light into the open floor plans while boosting circulation\nbetween the upper and lower levels. At the top-floor mezzanine, an L-shaped\ndeck offers views of the neighborhood and the Front Range of the Rocky\nMountains. The ground level includes coworking and event space, which\nfacilitate social engagement with direct visual connections to the bustle of Market\nStreet. "]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"An intensive and iterative\ncollaboration with the developer, community, and the Lower Downtown Design\nReview Board introduced the new building to the neighborhood. The process is\nreflective of the building\u2019s commitment to the scale and proportion of its neighbors\nwhile also demonstrating how diverse architecture can thrive in historic\ndistricts. "]]]]}
