Towne Square Lofts is located in the Gateway Community, a new housing project
near the Denver International
Airport. This project contains 63 residential units on three floors and a first floor parking garage. Within the
building’s brick and wood shell are a variety of units, ranging from 720 SF one bedroom, one bathroom condos to
1240 SF two bedroom, two bath condos. Floor plans are designed to create arrangements that provide for both
flexibility and privacy.

All units are provided with private and communal outdoor spaces. In order to minimize
costs and still maintain a variety of living arrangements, the units were designed to stack thereby providing
economical and strategically located vertical shafts for mechanical and plumbing functions.

Working with the developer, the neighborhood association and the city, BlueSky Studio
created a condominium project that is expansive yet maintains a human scale that relates to the site. BlueSky Studio worked with several
design committees to create a structure that is rich in detail and a material yet still meets the budget requirementsof the clients.
The building is divided into sections through the use of repetitive forms accented by material and color selections.
Design and directional elements use these materials and colors to provide users with consistent organizational nelement
s, creating a building and site that is easily understood and navigated by the users while still being pleasing to the eye.
