LoDo Restaurant Row Design Concepts

Exploring a building — walking around the outside, circulating through the inside, climbing the stairs — can provide a decent evaluation of what a building is. What’s harder to imagine with perambulation alone, however, is what a building could be. Additional perspectives, including potential uses, are bolstered by visuals. Technology deployed by skilled designers and visualization specialists can provide an enhanced view of a building’s potential — from small modifications to an entirely new use.  

A Colorado property owner engaged Cushing Terrell to garner excitement for a project idea that would repurpose a series of conjoined buildings in the LoDo neighborhood of downtown Denver. By opening up portions of the building that our client owned with adjacent owners’ properties, the entire block could be reimagined as a collective space offering a restaurant, an office hub, and a rooftop deck. Individual buildings walled off from one another would partially open into a shared space, with common circulation areas, floors, and rooftop space. The idea incorporated street activation through outdoor dining, landscaping, and hardscape elements.  

Cushing Terrell’s architectural design and visualization teams collaborated on a 3D model and renderings of the five buildings’ interior and exterior, showing what the reimagined building row could look like. Creative architectural and interior designers aligned with technology specialists can help visualize the potential in a space, garnering excitement for adaptive reuse, increasing sales prospects, and opening perspectives on what could be.
