DENVER - KTGY, an award-winning design firm specializing in architecture, interior design, and urban design, continues to shape the Denver metro area with forward-thinking, high-density residential communities. With the completion of Aura Arts District [https://ktgy.com/Work/aura-arts-district/] in Denver and Fellow at Fitz [https://ktgy.com/Work/fellow-at-fitz/] in Aurora, KTGY showcases its expertise in delivering thoughtfully designed, amenity-rich living spaces that enhance the urban fabric and resident experience.
A Vision for Urban Integration and Livability
KTGY prioritizes efficient, sustainable and people-centric design, tackling complex site challenges to create highly functional and aesthetically compelling multifamily environments. Aura Arts District and Fellow at Fitz exemplify this approach, offering innovative solutions that contribute to vibrant communities that emphasize active mobility. By balancing innovation with livability, KTGY remains at the forefront of multifamily design, setting new benchmarks for high-density living in the region.
Aura Arts District: Fusing Modern Design with Denver's Creative Energy
In collaboration with Trinsic Residential Group, KTGY designed Aura Arts District as a two-building, podium-style development that embraces the artistic vibrancy of Denver's Santa Fe Art District. The City and Mountain buildings, situated on opposite sides of Lipan Street, feature distinct architectural expressions while maintaining a cohesive design language.
The extreme grade changes of the site were transformed into an opportunity for innovative podium parking solutions. The City building features a four-over-two podium configuration, incorporating mezzanine-style units with soaring ceilings that enhance the urban edge. The Mountain building's elevated design capitalizes on expansive Rocky Mountain views, reinforcing the development's emphasis on experience-driven design.
Aura Arts District is pursuing LEED Gold certification as its compliance method for Denver's Green Building Ordinance, emphasizing energy efficiency and environmental responsibility, demonstrating KTGY's commitment to sustainable, high-density development.
Fellow at Fitz: A Dynamic Mixed-Use Hub in Aurora
Developed by Anton Development Company, Fellow at Fitz is a seven-story, podium-style community designed to support young professionals, particularly those working at the nearby Fitzsimons medical campus. The development features 413 residences, including eight live/work units, as well as ground-floor retail spaces.
The long and linear site posed significant design constraints. KTGY's five-over-two podium solution effectively maximizes the site's potential while seamlessly integrating with the historic Colfax corridor. Architectural elements such as symmetry and masonry detailing create a visually cohesive streetscape, while extensive communal spaces-including three courtyards, a rooftop deck, and indoor social areas-provide a balanced, engaging lifestyle for residents.
Shaping the Future of Urban Living
KTGY continues to lead the way in shaping Denver's urban landscape, designing communities that are not only architecturally distinctive but also deeply connected to their surrounding environments. Additional communities designed by KTGY that have recently celebrated grand openings include Pascal Gardens (St. Charles Town Company) and Northfield Flats (Mile High Development) and The Lincoln (Century Communities).
