DENVER | 14th & Court Pl. | 159 FT | 13 FLOORS
A Denver icon is about to kick off. Can't wait to see this one added to the mix. Also can't wait to have a staycation here.

That's really cool. Who is the architect? Kind of reminds me of a Bertrand Goldberg design interpreted by Zaha Hadid or perhaps Studio Gang.

It is Studio Gang.

Love it! This is moving forward? Is there a timetable for construction?

The site has been cleared and construction barricades and fencing installed, so I would say construction is likely to begin in the next few weeks.

Nice! Coming along as promised. What do we call this style? Neo-Gaudi?

It will be interesting to see how they hide the seams between the panels. The building pays a nice homage to Gio Ponti's Denver Art Museum just a few blocks away on the other side of City Hall.

Most likely some type of sealant compatible with that type of panel material (and the same color) to close the gaps.

this is really striking. not saying i totally love it, but its great use of a prominent flatiron type plot of land. i wish more developers would do designs like this. it's not appropriate for everywhere, but yet there isn't enough of it and instead there is usually far too much cookie cutter blandness.

DENVER | Populus | 159 FT | 13 FLOORS
Inside the Infill: Populus

Quote:
Today, we have a very special update on Populus, where we take a look at the exterior and then head inside to see the progress being made on the interior. Populus is arguably one of the most architecturally unique projects going up in Downtown Denver and, when complete, will remain one of the most distinctive. Before we begin the tour, we want to extend a huge thank you to Adam Perkins and Eric Rymarz of Urban Villages for taking DenverInfill on an “Inside the Infill” tour.

EXTERIOR





























INTERIOR


Quote:
Upon entering Populus, guests will be greeted with what is aptly named the “Forest Floor.” The double-height lobby features a grand staircase, a public restaurant, and a coffee shop. Finishes in the lobby include sheets of Reishi™, a leather alternative that features the root structure of mushrooms. While a large portion of hotels Downtown tread a grey line of public and private spaces, Populus strives to allow space for guests and the public by providing 96 seats around the first and second floor for everyone to enjoy.

Side Note: I thought Denver needed some love on this forum and this is my first post. If I have missed something or there is an issue with how I formatted please don't come for me.

Part of me wants to love this - The other part of me can't unsee the gapping eyes and mouths in the cladding of this building.....
