At 1800 Larimer, a 22-story building also designed by RNL, the approach focused on developing design methodologies informed by scientific analysis and invention, aimed toward real application. Working closely with Westfield Development to achieve a LEED Platinum certification, the design features a nearly 22,000-sf green roof that helps reduce the heat island effect and reintroduces a significant percentage of open space and habitat to the site via native plantings. Part of the structure below will hold a 100-year flood quantity storm water detention and water quality tank that will greatly improve the site’s contribution to storm water quality, while providing non-potable irrigation water for the plants on the terrace.
