Epic work is
only possible
when you
have the
right people.
The kind of people who are good at what they do and know how to have fun in the process.
We always
take our
work seriously. But never ourselves.
We keep things light. We laugh hard. And we genuinely enjoy one another’s company. It’s our secret sauce. And when you work with us, we consider you part of the team. So prepare to roll up your sleeves and have some fun too.

Culture. Climate. Operations. 🌅
The destinations winning right now aren`t copying templates, they`re designed from the whole cloth.
Three forces are reshaping how we think about destination development. Each one changes how guests experience a place, how long they stay, and why they come back.🌞
Colorado’s largest water park, fresh off earning the #5 spot on USA Today’s 10Best Outdoor Water Parks, is set for a major transformation. 🌊 Opening this summer, Water World will debut Summit Canyon, the park’s first new attraction area since the Alpine Springs redevelopment in 2021.

Today`s most successful destinations don`t just entertain, they resonate.
"We`re seeing a global expectation shift. Guests and owners alike want destinations that couldn’t exist anywhere else. Context is no longer an overlay, it’s the foundation,” says John Torti, Partner.

Outdoor space should be integral to the home—how space connects, feels, and works for the way you actually live. When indoor and outdoor spaces are designed to work together, everyday moments become something more. That`s the power of intentionality.

After 18 years, we’re back in Downtown Boulder.
Our new office on Canyon Boulevard supports collaboration, visibility, and the energy that comes from being embedded in the city’s urban fabric. These moments, unscripted, in progress, and collaborative, are exactly why downtown feels like coming home.
🌊🏆 Big news! USA Today’s 2026 @10Best Readers’ Choice Awards have named @Splashway #1 for the Best Outdoor Water Park in the U.S. for the second consecutive year! 🎉And major shoutout to @WaterWorldCO for landing at the #5 spot!
At Splashway, our team reimagined the park’s entry experience to improve guest flow and create an immersive, family-friendly destination with campgrounds, luxury cabins, mini golf, and the all-new Dueling Splash Blasters.
At Water World, inspired by Colorado’s natural beauty, we led a complete renovation to unify the park with cohesive themed elements.🌊
👏 Congrats to our clients and collaborators who helped make these award-winning parks possible! Click the links in our bio to learn more about Splashway and Water World!
As World Landscape Architecture Month concludes, we want to ensure we celebrate Action Through Leadership and the everyday decisions that shape resilient, meaningful communities. As landscape architect Cindy Pedrioli shares, her work starts with understanding how people experience a place, while responding to real environmental challenges like prolonged drought. Designing with water efficiency and native plant communities isn’t a trend, it’s a responsibility.
“My design perspective begins with how people experience a place. In Colorado, prolonged drought has made low‑water planting not just a design response, but a long‑term responsibility—creating resilient spaces that support both people and nature.”
Thoughtful landscape decisions today help create resilient, dynamic spaces that support both people and nature well into the future. 🌱
Meet Samuel, our former intern turned DTJ Designer! ✨
We’re thrilled to have him back on the team, bringing back his passion for creating people‑first, community‑centered spaces to every project he touches. His work is driven by a genuine love for design and a commitment to helping our teams create places that make everyday life better.
Samuel’s journey has taken him from the classroom to real communities, working on planning and open space projects that fuel his creativity and purpose. He’s known for his loyalty, adventurous ways, and always ready for the next challenge. Whether that’s exploring new places or diving into his pandemic‑era hobby, scuba diving. 🤿🌊
We’re excited to watch him continue to grow, create, and make an impact here at DTJ. Welcome back, Samuel! 👏 @ray.contreras.sr
Last week, Partners Todd Hill and Dave Williams hit the greens for a great cause at the 16th Annual Circle of Trust 19th Hole Classic. ⛳️❤️ As Registration Sponsors, we loved supporting an impactful mission and staying in sync with the trends shaping our work. Hosted at Woodmont Golf & Country Club, the day delivered great golf, high‑energy connections, and meaningful conversations all in support of the Prostate Cancer Foundation.
“It was one of the most fun charity golf outings I’ve ever played in. Crystal-clear skies, a fantastic course, wonderful playing partners, and lots of activities before teeing off and on every hole. Most importantly, it was all in support of critical research toward a cure for prostate cancer. Looking forward to it again next year.” -Todd
