4240 recently moved our Denver studio from our LoDo location to a former brick and steel foundry building in the River North (RiNo) District. The move continues 4240's tradition of leading urban renewal development. It is the first professional services firm to bring a significant new work force into the RiNo area.
This move gives 4240 the opportunity to create a space which truly reflects our creativity, ingenuity and culture. The open studio fosters our collaborative design process. There are no private offices in the building with senior staff distributed throughout the studio, again reinforcing the accessibility of staff and interaction at all levels. Informal "war rooms" are provided throughout the space for the quick pin-up and in-depth dialogues.
The design of the studio preserves and integrates as much of the original building as possible. Work stations and war rooms are literally designed around a collection of existing cranes and foundry equipment, creating a playful balance between the old industrial remnants and the new technologies and materials.
Consistent with our commitment to environmentally responsible design, our new Denver studio has achieved LEED Gold certification.
