ELEVATE
Denver, CO
CHALLENGE
To produce a condo design of my
dreams.
SOLUTION
A design based on the idea of elevation.
This concept is reinforced by the use of
materials to mirror different elevations
of a mountain range, such as earth,
snow, and sky.

THE DESIGN
The design for my dream condo is based on the
idea of elevation, as exemplified by the “Mile High
City” of Denver, CO. Denver’s elevation reaches
heights of more than one mile above sea level,
giving this robust state capital the nickname “Mile
High City”. This idea is fitting for me because I
have a calming but adventurous personality and
have always dreamed of living in elevation. The
site of this condo is in downtown Denver, and the
concept adopts this theme throughout the entire
space. To express this idea, the plan will reflect a
mountain view using color, pattern, and texture.
The open floor plan creates depth and room
to travel from one activity to the other, while
keeping the intimate spaces tucked away. The idea
is further reinforced by the use of materials to
mirror different elevations of a mountain range,
such as earth, snow, and sky. Darker materials
and colors will be used at the lowest elevation to
portray the earth. In the middle elevation, white
materials and soft textiles will be used to resemble
snow. At the highest elevation, blue details will be
used to mirror the sky.
FLOOR PLAN
SKY
Throughout the floor plan
the sky will be reflected in
the wall color, art, and soft
textiles in high elevation.
SNOW
In the floor plan, objects
between low and high elevation
will reflect the snow,
such as white marble, soft
furniture, and white rugs
EARTH
In lower elevation throughout
the floor plan the earth
will be mimicked as slate,
wood furniture, and dark
painted cabinetry.
