A21 is a Denver, Colorado based architecture + design firm focused on a rigorous crafting of quietly designed buildings and spaces. Our immersive design process seeks the creation of a deep and meaningful relationship between living spaces and their surroundings - with a pursuit to present architecture, art and nature as a seamlessly integrated experience.

We hold a passionate belief in reductive design strategies which evoke a physical and emotional presence of spatial purity, eschewing unnecessary form and ornamentation. We strive for refined, yet modestly simple designs through a balance of artistry and comfort with emphasis on light, materiality, texture and a committed sensitivity to site and landscape. We unapologetically choose subtlety and restraint over trend-driven opulence.

We approach each project with a sensitive eye and measured, yet empathetic approach to each client and their project site. We find importance and meaning in spending the necessary time gathering a deep understanding of how the client will interact with the site and occupy each space, in addition to how the building is placed within the site. Our foremost intention is to curate spaces which allow an individualistic lifestyle approach from our clients, responding to their desire to either seek solace in or fully embrace their environment. We achieve this through an intentional, yet measured blend of materiality, furnishings, art and decor which allow spaces to become essence of daily living and a connection to the natural environment. We value working with our clients and collaborators to take our initial design ideas through a process of distilling, refining and crafting of their dreams into a realized space, resulting in immersive architectural experiences.
