I-70 at Floyd Hill Improvements
THK team members are currently working with CDOT to improve I-70 at the base of Floyd Hill in Clear Creek Canyon. The six miles of roadway reconstruction includes the complete realignment of I-70 and Highway 6 through the canyon. The realignment requires approximately 3 miles of new bridge structures, over 20 rock cuts, 3,000 linear feet of creek bank restoration. THK, Yeh and Chinook are all three responsible for the rock cut design and aesthetics. Yeh is specifically responsible for rock cut and slope stabilization design along with rock fall mitigation. THK is responsible for all forest and riverbank restoration, project aesthetics, recreation improvements, and CPW SB40 permits. Additionally, all three consultants were involved with helping to establish the new roadway alignments. THK and Yeh have worked for decades on mountain road development in Colorado. The experience and knowledge of this team will ensure that Park access roads are safe and aesthetically pleasing with rockfall mitigation. Additionally, ECO Resolutions planned and designed all the wildlife mitigation including roadway wildlife crossing structures.

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.
