Off Broadway | Boulder, CO

Live/Work Lofts Rejuvenate Industrial Zone Into Art Haven

DESCRIPTION

Off Broadway is a 17-unit urban infill, mixed-use development in North Boulder’s industrial zone. Located on the former site of Boulder Shelter for the Homeless, this industrial arts, live/work community mixes ground-floor artisan/ small business work spaces for artisans with residential, loft living environments above. The program calls for 19,600 sf of building space on a .9 acre site. The project is made up of three, 3-story buildings wrapping around and visually shielding 42 tuck-under and surface parking spaces from the street. An outdoor “paseo”, or community market space, serves as a walking circulation spine fronting the south facing industrial-arts activity spaces. Off Broadway has a total of 13 workspace units and 17 loft living units. Some of the work units have roll-up glass garage doors that open to the Paseo. Residential lofts directly above the work studios contain a two-story volume with floor to ceiling glass.

VISION

Create affordable, green live/work community for local artists with common work/meeting areas within existing site.
