The Populus Hotel

We are thrilled about the recognitions one of our multidisciplinary projects, the Populus hotel, has received recently. Located in downtown Denver, the hotel is the first carbon positive hospitality development in the nation and was designed to resemble aspen trees, also known as populus tremuloides, and the marks left behind after the lower branches shed. This unique architectural design has garnered a lot of buzz, and the project required a strong team that could make it beautiful, functional and environmentally conscious. 

 

Alongside partners Urban Villages and Studio Gang, Lerch Bates provided Building Science and Building Flow consulting services to deliver Total Building Performance™. 

  

Spearheaded by Chris Pickett, our Building Science services included quality assurance inspections, extensive field performance testing of the renowned exterior wall assembly, and roof assembly testing. Stephanie Wickman led our Vertical Transportation services on the Building Flow side where we provided consulting from the design of their elevators through the construction administration of their assembly. 

 

Find some of the awards and acclaim this project has received below: 

  • Architizer’s A+ Awards  
    • Popular Choice Winner in Hotels and Resorts
