Walk through the forests of Colorado, and it won’t be long before you spot one of the most important trees in the West—the Douglas fir. Towering, rugged, and elegant, this species is as much at home in the Rockies as it is in mountain ranges across the globe.

In the world of commercial design, few elements captivate and ground people like wood. The rich tones, organic textures, and sheer presence of solid wood have the power to transform sterile lobbies into immersive environments, and nowhere is this more true than in the creation of show-stopping, biophilic statement pieces. From massive live-edge conference tables and carved seating installations to sculptural art made from tree roots and trunk segments, wood connects people to nature and elevates spaces into destinations.

As specialists in harnessing the power of wood, we excel at creating sustainable, biophilic, instagrammable showstoppers; functional environmental art that breathes life and luxury into the largest spaces. For this project we partnered with the design firm to create one-of-a-kind structural moments for the community space at One River North that would provide a social gathering space and utilitarian surface. One River North features open-air terraces and soaring walls of glass, all encased in a first-of-its-kind sculptural façade.
