At 1800 Larimer, a 22 story mixed use office building, our ecological approach

focused on developing design methodologies informed by scientific analysis

and invention, and aimed toward real application. Working closely with Westfield

Development to achieve a LEED Platinum certification, the design features an

intensive green roof. The square foot green roof contributes to a reduction of the

heat island effect for the site, 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 level storm water detention

and water quality tank that will greatly improve the site contribution to storm water

quality, as well as provide non-potable irrigation water for the plantings on the terrace.
