Northfield Flats is an affordable multifamily development on an opportune site in Denver, Colorado’s Central Park neighborhood. This growing city’s hardworking families are looking for a place to call home, and this design confidently delivers on the location’s promise. The development, designed to NGBS Gold Standard, provides amenity space and bike storage; its proximity to transit, I-70, and adjacency to both necessities and entertainment make this a highly desirable community for a broad range of Coloradans.
A unique footprint creates natural interest and hierarchy. The easternmost wing highlights amenity space with floor-to-ceiling glazing and creates a private nook for outdoor open space. The building is segmented horizontally into different masses, divided by recessed balconies and circulation features. The corners call attention to a more dominant ground-to-roof facade that bookends the central masses, which showcase a well-detailed masonry base. Entrances are emphasized through a material transition and canopies that invite pedestrians to enter. Finishes consist of aesthetically pleasing, durable and low maintenance materials such as brick, concrete masonry units and fiber cement siding. Adroit design makes Northfield Flats stand out among similar developments and equips the building to compound the location’s intrinsic value.
