Category: Attainable Housing

The most revealing design conversations happen when theoretical possibilities give way to actual constraints. Two breakout groups at Experience Innovation 2025 tackled dramatically different multifamily scenarios—from 55+ active adult communities near major employers to university-adjacent housing with zero parking minimums.

Colorado's housing landscape is rapidly transforming, demanding innovative solutions. When combined with strategic design and collaborate approaches, we can create attainable housing across urban and community landscapes.

Addressing the issue of attainable housing is not simply providing people with a place to live—it is about creating communities where people can thrive. Affordable, quality homes are created by employing innovative financial and design strategies and fostering strategic partnerships among government agencies, developers, and community organizations. Addressing misconceptions through education and streamlining regulatory processes can provide broad-based community support. These crucial steps pave a pathway for an increased supply of attainable housing, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for many individuals and families.

We are honored to be recognized as one of the leading firms in architecture and community design, and thankful for the opportunity to collaborate with clients who inspire us to create fresh products. At the 40th Best in American Living Awards, we received awards across the board, from Best Innovative Housing Solutions to Best On-the Boards Community and more.
