I-25 and US 50-47 Interchange

I-25/SH 50-47 Interchange: THK was responsible for the bridge architecture on five bridge structures and the landscaping of the interchange to create a northern gateway statement for the City of Pueblo.

THK created five unique yet complementary structures. The family of bridges were developed reflecting a hierarchy of importance. Each bridge has its own character, symbolizing nature and Pueblo’s heritage in steel production. The landscaping at each structure was designed to support the hierarchy of structures through the use of formal and informal design aesthetics.

The I-25/SH 50-47 interchange is the northern terminus to the New Pueblo Freeway.

Stanley Marketplace

Stanley Marketplace

Our Team was excited to be a part of the innovative design team tasked with the transformation of the 140,000 square-foot Stanley Aviation building and 22-acre site into the Stanley Marketplace; a mixed-use community destination that has already has begun and will continue to house retail, dining, offices, and a specialty grocer among other diverse potential tenants.

We formulated a concept for the Stanley Marketplace to create an inviting, attractive and functional landscape that accomplishes environmental, cultural and economic sustainability principles.

Our team has prepared a site master plan that includes a 6-acre park-like open space, event terraces and urban market plazas that will further establish Stanley Marketplace as a neighborhood destination.

Stanley Marketplace is the cornerstone redevelopment for the Westerly Creek Village Urban Renewal Plan in Northwest Aurora, Colorado. The landscape design is reflective of the site and its cultural, historic and physical context within Westerly Creek Village and Stapleton.

In keeping with our goal of uncommon respect for people, planet and purpose, we identified native landscape zones and prioritized preservation and restoration, with additional xeriscape plantings that reduce watering needs. The reduced impervious surfaces throughout the site and the reuse of salvaged materials from previous structures mitigate the overall impact of construction.
