Ross Bar­ney Archi­tects was proud to be rec­og­nized for our short­list­ed entry in the Den­ver Afford­able Hous­ing Chal­lenge, pre­sent­ed by the Amer­i­can Insti­tute of Archi­tects Col­orado and the City of Den­ver in part­ner­ship with Buildner. 

This recog­ni­tion reflects Ross Bar­ney Archi­tects’ deep and ongo­ing com­mit­ment to the design of afford­able hous­ing that is thought­ful, sus­tain­able, and root­ed in place. Our pro­pos­al, ​“Shar­ing the Square: Reimag­in­ing a Den­ver Clas­sic,” rethinks urban liv­ing through pre­fab­ri­cat­ed con­struc­tion, com­bin­ing mod­ern effi­cien­cy with Denver’s his­toric char­ac­ter. Inspired by the Den­ver four-square, the design hon­ors local her­itage while advanc­ing a more adapt­able and acces­si­ble hous­ing future.

Ross Bar­ney Archi­tects was pleased to be short­list­ed along­side a strong field of archi­tects and designers.

“With hun­dreds of excep­tion­al sub­mis­sions, we are great­ly encour­aged by this recog­ni­tion to design afford­able hous­ing for Den­ver,” said Bar­rett Peter­son, AIA, LEED AP, and Mar­cus Malesh of the Ross Bar­ney Archi­tects design team.
