Always inventive
This former paint
factory is being
converted into 49
entry-level lofts.
Built in 1921, this building
is part of the Ballpark
Historic District. Located
on the northeast corner
of Broadway and Walnut,
the building was used for
Benjamin Moore paint
products.
Staff architects worked
with the City of Denver to
rezone the property and
with the Denver Landmark
Commission to guide the
exterior design of this
historic building. Interior
spaces radiate from the
central elevator in a starburst
shape, maximizing each loft's
exposure to the building's
windows.
The industrial materials and
structure of the building
were maintained to create
true industrial urban lofts.
*This project was undertaken
when Tom Obermeier was
the CEO of OZ Architecture.
