5. Firm History
Founded in 1978, SEM Architects has one of the largest
portfolios in the commercial, retail and industrial sectors in the
Rocky Mountain West region. Building on early commissions
in the development industry, the firm has evolved from a
business-focused enterprise to a full-service, design-oriented
architectural practice.
In its first decade, SEM advanced from serving local clients
to playing roles in regional and national projects. By the
mid-1990s, as the firm went national, its services grew to
encompass comprehensive architectural, master planning,
entitlements, and interior design services for our clients in
retail, industrial, office and build-to-suit markets. Recent years
have seen an expansion of our portfolio to include local
neighborhood retail and restaurants, regional mixed-use town
centers, and office parks and corporate headquarters, as well as
roll-out programs for national retailers.
The hallmark of SEM’s work is its unparalleled customer
service. Principals, directors and designers are an integral
component of every project team at every stage, from initial
vision, ideas and design concepts, to planning and construction
phase services. Staff members are available for consultation at
all junctures of every project. The firm’s achievements and its
extensive referral network are testaments to the success of
this approach, and to the grateful appreciation for its clients.

we strive to create places that enrich how people live, work

human needs that responds to physical, social, and economic
circumstances. We are not vendors of fashionable trends, but
believe that good design defines our environment because

design for it specifically.” - Todd Decker

8. STRUCTURE
Projects begin as individual design studios are assembled for a commission, bringing together an array of seasoned
professionals, creative designers and developing talent. These tight-knit, diverse groups collaborate directly with clients
to establish an in-depth understanding of the project goals that will fulfill the program.
Studios are led by a Principal, who take an active role in every aspect, working in creative collaboration with the client
over the life of the project. Principals routinely fill the Project Architect role on a design team. Complemented by
experienced Project Managers, they lead the design team and are in constant communication with the client.
The Principals’ experience is enhanced by a dedicated group of Associates and the invaluable resources of
Directors, who are responsible for creating and maintaining quality and consistency in specific aspects of SEM’s
practice. This personal attention and teamwork ensures the successful design, documentation and quality control of
the client’s program.

CROSSROADS MALL REDEVELOPMENT
BOULDER, COLORADO
New Urbanism
Twenty Ninth Street Mall brings urban shopping sophistication
to Boulder’s growing residential and professional communities.
The genesis of the Twenty Ninth Street Mall was to redevelop an
existing four-city block suburban mall into a thriving outdoor retail
environment. The program for the entire project incorporates
more than 800,000 square feet of office, retail, entertainment, and
restaurant space. The overall project budget totaled more than
$75,000,000. SEM Architects was the Architect of Record and
was responsible for Site Planning, Architectural Design, Tenant
Coordination, and Contract Administration.
The resulting design created three distinct shopping and
entertainment districts, enlivened by weaving the Boulder street
grid throughout the development. The project’s challenges were
met by designing the primary retail and plaza over an 800 car
parking deck, and providing a variety of leasing opportunities. The
design includes distinct building vocabularies utilizing dramatic
massing and geometry, as well as a lively color palette, that
responds to the context of the existing city and natural features of
Boulder, Colorado.

DENVER, COLORADO
Invite Only - Design Competition
The design concept for the new medical office building at 1655
Lafayette takes advantage of a prominent site in what will be a
large redevelopment project. On a site that is under utilized in
terms of density this new facility takes advantage of internal
parking schemes to increase its densities while providing the
opportunity for both clinical and medical office space.
The design concept for 1655 Lafayette is based around the concept
of integration. The buildings program while not atypical for the
surrounding area, is larger than portions of its context. 1655
utilizes and is focused on breaking down the scale of the building
into smaller components that assist in its relationship and presence
within the neighborhood. The structure works to maximize the
potential building footprint, while the facade of the building
is compartmentalized into unique features that add variety and
scale to the building. The concept of overlapping is prominent
throughout the building to create depth and visual interest from
all perspectives, while providing it’s users with accessible common
amenities.

The overall design reflects upon traditional design principals using
a base, middle and top. These traditional principles are contrasted
by a modern more contemporary aesthetic. The base is accented
with large two story windows, and stone pilasters, while the middle
portions of the building uses an EIFS wall system with a variety
of horizontal window patterns. The upper portion of the building
incorporates intricately detailed metal panels along with integral
sun shade devices at the entry feature to create an iconic image on

Urban Connectivity
Gateway Park Station is located on the newly planned light rail
route, connecting downtown Denver to Denver International
Airport. The 17.5-acre site is located in the heart of an emerging
commercial district which is anchored by the 1,300-acre Gateway
Park. This station incorporates light rail and bus routes, and will
ultimately serve a high volume of trips.
The goal of the Master Plan was to design an identifiable
environment that would comfortably accommodate the multi-
modal exchange, and serve as a catalyst for the surrounding
influence area. The design concentrates mid-rise, mixed-use
densities around a central plaza anchored to the rail stop.
Pedestrian circulation from the Rail Station, would quickly emerge
from a highly active transitional space into a open, urban scaled
plaza, filtering to the business and services. The plaza would
incorporate amenities designed for both the commuter and
employee needs, including; fountains, kiosk and shaded seating
areas. A bold arc connects the bus-station to the center of the
plaza, offering a dramatic pond crossing en-route.

Urban Revitalization
Tiffany Plaza was an outdated existing center that was

new retail building of 12,000 sq. ft., and a face lift for the
remaining 80,000 sq. ft. of retail space. SEM Architects
was the Design Architect and the Architect of Record
for the project. Throughout the development SEM was
responsible for all of the architectural design, construction
documentation, tenant coordination, and the contact
administration.
The design for the project was centered around the addition
of Whole Foods to the shopping center. The corner entry
feature at Whole Foods is capped off with a complex curving
copper canopy supported by an open truss. The adjacent
buildings were simplified by changing the fenestration
patterns, and creating new parapets that provide for updated
signage. The retail pad building is tied into the remainder of
the center with the same aesthetics to provide a cohesive look
to the entire center.

56. Interior Design / Tenant Improvements
Our interiors projects, though diverse in nature, tend to relate to each other in ways that are basic to any use. Whether the
design is for a corporate headquarters, high tech data center or customer service environment, the basic concerns regarding
public space versus private space, customer experience, product control and security are paramount to the operation’s success.
Our experience gives us the unique ability to incorporate these necessary program requirements within designs focused on
the creation of spaces that set atmospheres and moods appropriate to the desired experience.
