Commercial Space, Fort Collins, CO
419 Canyon Ave | Fort Collins, CO
Originally built in the early 1980s, the building’s main floor was focused on vehicular traffic to and from the building. The main lobby of the building and access to the street/pedestrian path along Canyon Avenue was extremely neglected. A small 4’-0” wide sidewalk connected the lobby to the public right of way. The main goal of the building owner was to create an active streetscape and better entry/lobby to the building. The renovation scope included a new lobby, new entry plaza, new façade features, new landscaping, and common space renovations to the elevator, stairwells, restrooms, and hallways.
The design concept was to create a cohesive urban design and architecture (exterior and interior) that enhanced the current lines of the existing modern building. The use of color blocking and mid-century design elements were utilized throughout the project. The front plaza is now engaged and inviting to the public, and lends in the extension of the lobby bringing it closer to the public right of way – giving the buildings and streetscape more visually aesthetic and presence.

What people are saying about
Ripley Design Inc.
Worked with Stephanie on two projects and she was AMAZING! The maze of government and zoning etc. is a killer on building projects. These guys navigate that world with massive skill. I would never try to get something through city planning or zoning without using Stephanie and her team. Very grateful.
