The Dylan
denver, CO
Located in the heart of the River North Arts District, this wrap style project looks out onto the Platte River and the panorama of the Downtown Denver skyline. A ‘wooden cube’ anchors the intersection of 31st and Brighton, while a series of undulating exposed metal balconies animate the facade along the river. The building design utilizes classic RiNo motifs like recycled and repurposed metals, industrial gratings, corrugated metal, blonde brick, and gabion walls to fit the cool gritty vibe that the neighborhood embodies. Large format murals grace the entry facade and parking garage facade making the building an important part of the RiNo mural scene.
