To be Creative and Passionate

Founded in 1978, SEM Architects has one of the largest portfolios in the commercial, retail and industrial sectors in the Rocky Mountain West region. Building on early commissions in the development industry, the fi rm has evolved from a business-focused enterprise to a full-service, design-oriented architectural practice.

In its fi rst decade, SEM advanced from serving local clients to playing roles in regional and national projects. By the mid-1990s, as the fi rm went national, its services grew to encompass comprehensive architectural, master planning, entitlements, and interior design services for our clients in retail, industrial, offi ce and build-to-suit markets. Recent years have seen an expansion of our portfolio to include local neighborhood retail and restaurants, regional mixed-use town centers, and offi ce parks and corporate headquarters, as well as roll-out programs for national retailers.

The hallmark of SEM’s work is its unparalleled customer service. Principals, directors and designers are an integral component of every project team at every stage, from initial vision, ideas and design concepts, to planning and construction phase services. Staff members are available for consultation at all junctures of every project. The fi rm’s achievements and its extensive referral network are testaments to the success of this approach, and to the grateful appreciation for its clients.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

SEM Architects combines improvisation with lateral thinking, a creative process for generating ideas, in order to break through accepted thinking while still operating within real-world constraints, resources, and support.

Lateral thinking develops solutions through an indirect approach that moves from a known idea to a new idea. With a strong foundation of technical expertise and carefully honed intuition, SEM designers improvise on the challenges and resources unique to each opportunity, inventing new thought patterns, practices, structures, or new ways that people could interact with spaces. The successful outcome is helping clients fi nd the distinctive solutions relevant to their situation.

The design process begins with an open dialog among clients, consultants, and the design team in a workshop setting, to develop the program; to analyze relevant case studies, and to create a framework that will bring the project to full fruition.

The full team establishes goals; collects, organizes, and analyzes data; formulates relationships, and establishes priorities, in order to defi ne the challenge

that the design solution will resolve. On this basis, the architects create a real-world design aimed at achieving the client’s objectives.

Case studies of similar projects serve as resources that inform the design process, enlighten the client on current design trends and suggest a platform for unique alternatives. Existing ideas become the basis for challenges to conventional thinking, with the ultimate goal of establishing the big idea — a defi ning concept and guiding infl uence, which will keep the design true to its origins and consistent with its objectives.

Through the Design Development and Contract Document phases of the project, SEM concentrates on documenting the project with best practices, stringent quality-control procedures, and coordination of all work. Detailed task lists, milestones and performance-based criteria verify the work of all project members as complete and accurate. The budget is vetted through cost/benefi t systems analysis and milestone estimates. Finally, the design intent established during the genesis of the project drives a consistently high quality of work through construction and project close-out.

Design ApproachD

ESIG

N composing spaces that respond to environmental conditions

and address a client’s needs. Whatever a project size or budget,

we strive to create places that enrich how people live, work

and play. We direct our energy towards an architecture born of

human needs that responds to physical, social, and economic

circumstances. We are not vendors of fashionable trends, but

believe that good design defines our environment because

truly innovative design is a source of inspiration to those who

encounter it every day.

“Successful architecture is authentic to a project’s personality. The key is to identify that personality, and

design for it specifically.” - Todd Decker

Page 8: SEM Architects Brochure

STRUCTURE

Projects begin as individual design studios are assembled for a commission, bringing together an array of seasoned professionals, creative designers and developing talent. These tight-knit, diverse groups collaborate directly with clients to establish an in-depth understanding of the project goals that will fulfi ll the program.

Studios are led by a Principal, who take an active role in every aspect, working in creative collaboration with the client over the life of the project. Principals routinely fi ll the Project Architect role on a design team. Complemented by experienced Project Managers, they lead the design team and are in constant communication with the client.

The Principals’ experience is enhanced by a dedicated group of Associates and the invaluable resources of Directors, who are responsible for creating and maintaining quality and consistency in specifi c aspects of SEM’s practice. This personal attention and teamwork ensures the successful design, documentation and quality control of the client’s program.

The Streets at SouthGlenn is the redevelopment of the existing SouthGlenn Mall into a mixed-use Community Center for the City of Centennial. The redevelopment plan develops a 2,500,000 square foot Town Center between the existing Macy’s and Sears stores, and expands the on-site development to the perimeter of the property to include additional retail shops, restaurants, banks and services. The center is vertically mixed with street level retail shops, and either residential units or offi ce space above, the overall project budget is more than $300,000,000. SEM Architects is the Master Architect for the overall project and is responsible for entitlements, site planning, architectural design, tenant coordination, contract administration and design oversight and coordination.

The Streets at SouthGlenn blends premier local and national retailers with bold new brands to provide an exceptional, exclusive shopping experience and convenient access to the amenities shoppers seek in one place. Adjacent to south Denver’s premier neighborhoods, the Denver Tech Center, and other prosperous and growing residential and professional communities.

Located on 80 acres in Denver, Lowry

Vista re-envisions a former Air Force

property as a thriving community. But this

is not an average community. Nestled next

to 100 acres of open space and a newly

remodeled golf course. Lowry Vista will

be a true urban mixed-use brownfield

development, including residential, retail,

and entertainment venues. SEM Architects

is the master planner, and architect for

the project in conjunction with Davis

Partnership. SEM is the Architect of

Record for the 1 million plus square feet of

commercial development, while the overall

budget of the project will top $250,000,000.

The concept for Lowry Vista is to create

a close-knit neighborhood designed to

match modern expectations of responsible

growth and quality-of-life. Using modern

urban planning, Lowry Vista will offer a

pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use community

adhering to Denver’s acclaimed Main Street

development principles, which promote

sustainable, multi-use development.

The project has four major goals:

sustainability, modern urban design, infill

instead of sprawl, and multiple connections

to the surrounding native environment.

At Lowry Vista, not only will the open

space be preserved, but it can be used as

an “outdoor classroom.” A special signage

system will be developed to help educate

citizens and nearby school children about

native Colorado plants and ecosystems.

Around the open space, Lowry Vista will

connect trails that currently dead-end at the

Air Force Base. By completing the Highline

Canal and Westerly Creek trails, Lowry Vista

will provide surrounding neighborhoods

with greater mobility. Throughout the

development, there will be many parks and

gathering areas. Integral to the town center

design will be event space, plazas for markets,

and cozy niches for meeting friends. There will

be an “emerald necklace” of parks throughout

the sight, using attractive, drought-tolerant

landscaping, which is a responsible, sustainable

choice for Colorado.

Twenty Ninth Street Mall brings urban shopping sophistication to Boulder’s growing residential and professional communities. The genesis of the Twenty Ninth Street Mall was to redevelop an existing four-city block suburban mall into a thriving outdoor retail environment. The program for the entire project incorporates more than 800,000 square feet of offi ce, retail, entertainment, and restaurant space. The overall project budget totaled more than $75,000,000. SEM Architects was the Architect of Record and was responsible for Site Planning, Architectural Design, Tenant Coordination, and Contract Administration.

The resulting design created three distinct shopping and entertainment districts, enlivened by weaving the Boulder street grid throughout the development. The project’s challenges were met by designing the primary retail and plaza over an 800 car parking deck, and providing a variety of leasing opportunities. The design includes distinct building vocabularies utilizing dramatic massing and geometry, as well as a lively color palette, that responds to the context of the existing city and natural features of Boulder, Colorado.

The design concept for the new medical offi ce building at 1655 Lafayette takes advantage of a prominent site in what will be a large redevelopment project. On a site that is under utilized in terms of density this new facility takes advantage of internal parking schemes to increase its densities while providing the opportunity for both clinical and medical offi ce space.

The design concept for 1655 Lafayette is based around the concept of integration. The buildings program while not atypical for the surrounding area, is larger than portions of its context. 1655 utilizes and is focused on breaking down the scale of the building into smaller components that assist in its relationship and presence within the neighborhood. The structure works to maximize the potential building footprint, while the facade of the building is compartmentalized into unique features that add variety and scale to the building. The concept of overlapping is prominent throughout the building to create depth and visual interest from all perspectives, while providing it’s users with accessible common amenities.

Designed as the fi rst of two buildings in this Medical Campus, this project incorporates programming for medical users; including Urgent Care, Imaging, as well as Primary Care and Specialists. Phase 1 of the project set at the base of the “hogback” along C-470 in Jefferson County Colorado. The building houses more than 63,000 square foot of state of the art medical space. The overall budget for the project was $5,500,000. SEM Architects was the design architect as well as the Architect of Record for the project. SEM was responsible for all of the entitlements, site planning, building design, interior space planning, and contract administration.

The project’s budget and program was fulfi lled using tilt-up concrete construction. By utilizing a unique approach to panel design, window patterning and fenestration; the multi colored wall panels create variation and rhythm that tie the building together to create a clean contemporary image. The main entry feature is the focal point of the building as it dynamically extends from the building to create a covered drop off area for patients.

Montecito Point is a six story, 185,000 sf, high rise, offi ce building located in Las Vegas Nevada. The $24,000,000 project includes structured / covered parking for 25 percent of the parking needs. The L-shaped footprint and core layout were designed to accommodate half-fl oor users as well as smaller tenant arrangements. The project is designed to achieve LEED Silver certifi cation, using a sustainability strategy that is balanced across all categories. SEM Architects was the architect of record on the project and was responsible for the overall site planning, as well as the architectectural design of the core and shell.

The overall design refl ects upon traditional design principals using a base, middle and top. These traditional principles are contrasted by a modern more contemporary aesthetic. The base is accented with large two story windows, and stone pilasters, while the middle portions of the building uses an EIFS wall system with a variety of horizontal window patterns. The upper portion of the building incorporates intricately detailed metal panels along with integral sun shade devices at the entry feature to create an iconic image on the skyline.

The Gates Redevelopment takes one of the last large scale brownfi eld redevelopment opportunities in the Denver metropolitan area and transforms it into a high density mixed use urban environment that integrates RTD light rail and a host of associate uses. This multi modal environment supports traditional retail, restaurant, offi ce, hospitality and residential uses into a unique pedestrian friendly environment that will anchor the south Broadway corridor.

The overall master plan is severely impacted by the rail line that bisects the two adjoining properties. While this essentially cuts the project into two distinct developments two pedestrian bridges span the rail line, one at the RTD Park and Ride station and the other

The division of the project allows for the project to be phased in a variety of fashions allowing the east and west parcels to operate independently of each other.. The east parcel located along Broadway and adjacent to the existing park and ride becomes the commercial anchor to the project with a large scale retailer, small shops, offi ce and hotel uses. While the west parcel is anticipated to largely be a mid to high density residential project, yet contains opportunities for a variety of other uses including restaurants, shops, entertainment, and offi ce uses.

The total project consists of fi ve separate buildings that front the overall town center development. The buildings account for approximately 32,000 square feet of new retail shops space and at a project budget of more than $5,000,000 the project has an immense amount of character and detail. SEM Architects was the Architect of Record on the project and were responsible for the overall site planning, as well as the architectectural design of the building shells.

The design concept was for each building to be broken down into smaller components that enhance the village feel of the spaces and create enticing interstitial spaces. Each component of the facade is uniquely detailed and its identity is distinctively different than that of its counterpart. The warm tones of the brick and the lush landscaping work to create a relaxing and inviting environment that the end user will feel comfortable in for extended periods of time.

The two-story, 88,000 square foot 24-Hour Fitness Super Sport facility at CornerStar was the fi rst mega-fi tness facility in the successful 24-Hour Fitness chain of fi tness facilities. The Super Sport facility features two swimming pools, a sauna, a steam room, 2 racquetball courts, one and a half basketball courts, an indoor running track, a large aerobics room, a spin room, numerous circuit weight machines, a large free weight area, a daycare facility, juice bar, and high end locker rooms. As the Architect of Record for the core and shell, SEM Architects worked closely with the tenant Architect as they developed the prototype for the new Super Sport concept.

The challenge with the large two-story structure, was to break up the facades to create interest and diversity in the building mass. This was accomplished by introducing large vertical window and glass block elements, utilizing bright corrugated metal panels at vertical elements, and providing large shade devices to create light and shade patterns on the large wall planes. The main entry was softened by utilizing a stained siding and a canopy lowered over the entry to create a more human scale experience upon arrival to the facility.

Urban Connectivity

Gateway Park East StationAURORA, COLORADO

Gateway Park Station is located on the newly planned light rail route, connecting downtown Denver to Denver International Airport. The 17.5-acre site is located in the heart of an emerging commercial district which is anchored by the 1,300-acre Gateway Park. This station incorporates light rail and bus routes, and will ultimately serve a high volume of trips.

The goal of the Master Plan was to design an identifi able environment that would comfortably accommodate the multi-modal exchange, and serve as a catalyst for the surrounding infl uence area. The design concentrates mid-rise, mixed-use densities around a central plaza anchored to the rail stop. Pedestrian circulation from the Rail Station, would quickly emerge from a highly active transitional space into a open, urban scaled plaza, fi ltering to the business and services. The plaza would incorporate amenities designed for both the commuter and employee needs, including; fountains, kiosk and shaded seating areas. A bold arc connects the bus-station to the center of the plaza, offering a dramatic pond crossing en-route.

Tiffany Plaza was an outdated existing center that was revitalized by bringing in a 58,000 sq. ft. Whole Foods, a new retail building of 12,000 sq. ft., and a face lift for the remaining 80,000 sq. ft. of retail space. SEM Architects was the Design Architect and the Architect of Record for the project. Throughout the development SEM was responsible for all of the architectural design, construction documentation, tenant coordination, and the contact administration.

The design for the project was centered around the addition of Whole Foods to the shopping center. The corner entry feature at Whole Foods is capped off with a complex curving copper canopy supported by an open truss. The adjacent buildings were simplifi ed by changing the fenestration patterns, and creating new parapets that provide for updated signage. The retail pad building is tied into the remainder of the center with the same aesthetics to provide a cohesive look to the entire center.

Our interiors projects, though diverse in nature, tend to relate to each other in ways that are basic to any use. Whether the design is for a corporate headquarters, high tech data center or customer service environment, the basic concerns regarding public space versus private space, customer experience, product control and security are paramount to the operation’s success. Our experience gives us the unique ability to incorporate these necessary program requirements within designs focused on the creation of spaces that set atmospheres and moods appropriate to the desired experience.
