Experience Life
Through Design.

The design world moves fast, but the conversations that shape it shouldn't happen in isolation. That's the driving force behind DTJ's Experience Innovation series—a forum where industry minds collide, challenge convention, and forge new paths forward.

From the Chamonix’s Scandinavian-inspired courtyard living to The Imperial’s slope-side luxury, DTJ’s award-winning projects prove that thoughtful design can elevate everyday experiences. Our 2025 Gold Nugget wins highlight both creativity and collaboration in architecture, planning, and placemaking.

Right-sizing community amenities means finding the perfect balance between capital investment and operational costs to ensure long-term value and sustainability. By strategically planning phased developments and aligning amenities with local needs, communities can create spaces that foster lasting engagement and financial success.

Integrating recreation and trails into community design enhances well-being, strengthens environmental connections, and adds lasting value to neighborhoods.

As master planned community developers are making decisions on future product and amenities to meet market demand, many are finding success with a diversity of housing typologies, a mix of uses, and more compact design that is financially viable and creates vibrant and sought-after destinations.

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.
