		<description>What used to be the home of tres birds workshop in Boulder, CO before our move to Denver has been reconfigured for bike supply and repair shop, Repair Central. Work benches made from discarded bowling ally lanes remained, affording the shop expanded surface area for performing fixes. Long magnetic beams were installed for easy tool access and storage. Workers enjoy improved daylight exposure in their new space. We couldn't be more happy to turn things over to this great Boulder business.

		<description>tres birds workshop designed and built a 14,000 sf space for Lijit Networks (Division of Federated Media), an online advertising and analytics company for web publishers, which allowed them to double in size and improve employee health. Reclaiming 10 tons of railroad boxcar flooring, a sixty-year-old material that once transported coal loads via the Santa Fe Railroad, tres birds workshop created a series of freestanding, multi-purpose space makers, light boxes and planters, with mechanical fastening features for easy reconfiguration. Integrating vegetation into the actual workspace allows for continuous oxygen exchange between human and plant inhabitants as well as providing lively company to office workers. Full-spectrum light used in the design provides light for working and also grow power for the plants. Programmers are brought out into the daylight, as they sit perched in front of outside passers-by as well as next to other company departments, a move meant to further socialize and energize the space among the main tech workforce. 


Client Feedback

Samantha Haltman, Marketing Coordinator 

“Company culture is at the core of what makes Lijit networks, a Division of Federated Media, a great place to work. Collaboration is key to the success of our business, and the new build out has definitely helped to foster a more collaborative work environment, and has created a space where departments can more easily work together to achieve results. Clients and fellow employees of Federated Media from around the country that come into the office are always very intrigued by the office environment and camaraderie.”

		<description>Blurring lines between art and design, three Colorado design studios were chosen to create work for the Denver Art Museum's Design Lab exhibit. For their part, tres birds workshop constructed three interactive vessels that invite viewers to participate in the exhibit itself. Since the work and practice of the architecture firm is largely based on the incorporation of reclaimed material use, a platform was created for the public to connect with the process of tres birds workshop in the form of testing three different properties of various regional, discarded and reclaimed materials. Each suspended vessel tests a unique quality: light, sound and resistance to heat loss. Pills of reclaimed materials are stored nearby for participants to insert into each of the vessels, where they can see and record the data that follows. Over time, this recorded data set will constitute an average value of each reclaimed material and corresponding properties that the firm will use to further understand their material selections.

		<description>Parameters: Create an installation to visually connect three levels of the Denver Art Museum for one of the largest events in the museum's history- the Yves St. Laurent Retrospective exhibit opening gala. Denver is the last and only U.S. destination for the exhibit, one of three international stops (in addition to Paris and Madrid), where the YSLR exhibit has been shown. Install to be completed in one hour and be taken down in the same evening in order to ready the museum for visitors the next day. 

The tres birds workshop design team turned to balloons as the primary ingredient for dressing the evening in a ribbon of "Flowing Black Pearls." Approximately 1200 balloons were used. The pearl string was assembled in 7 hours. 

While tres birds workshop has no current plans to expand into the balloon medium, the installation represents a microcosm of our approach to larger architecture projects. Planning, modeling and execution must all be thought through thoroughly in order to meet the parameters of each project with success.

		<description>Tres Birds Workshop is free of hierarchy. North daylight diffuses upon all workstations contributing to the happiness of workers. Segmented steel boxes organize workers materials and diffuse ambient sound. The studio is ordered through the reuse of original mock-ups from client work. Materiality includes various vintages of bowling alley lanes / reclaimed pallet racks / repurposed aluminum shade screen reclaimed from 1970 Gio Ponti designed surgery clinic in Denver.

		<description>Quick Left, software development company, needed a design solution to accommodate their new location and growing business, the main stipulation being health and productivity. Starting with light, tres birds workshop designed the floor plan so that every corner of the office would receive the sun’s replenishing benefits. Existing lighting structures were repositioned for maximum efficiency and the outside windows were stripped of their tinting to allow full sunlight penetration. Addressing indoor air quality, floors were ground down to their primal layer, freeing them of chemical coating, and use of powder coating on workstation bays prevents additional chemical off-gassing. In addition, Quick Left gained one worker who never stops; the garden ‘dirt snake’ is busy round the clock, infusing oxygen and ions into the office environment. Reclaimed material usage was also prevalent throughout the Quick Left project. Surplus pallet racks used to form the frames of workstation bays, with walls made from recycled PET plastic bottles that mitigates sound and aids in transfusing light. Meeting tables were constructed from leftover wall frames of the previous business. 


Client Feedback 

Collin Schaafsma, Founder of Quick Left  
"I was really impressed with all the other spaces tres birds has done in the past. I really liked the diversity.  When we first started talking to Mike I loved his approach. He really wanted to learn how we worked and what our current pain points were. We knew tres birds would create something just for us. That was important, we didn't want a cookie cutter office space."
“I really liked the fact that tres birds does the discovery, design and the build. Nothing gets overlooked because they are involved in every step of the process. The attention to detail and creativity was unreal."
"Team moral is very high. We all really enjoy working in the space.  We are much more productive and we can accommodate client meetings and events now like we've always wanted. It's really been a game changer for us."

		<description>This 1905 mercantile building was once the terminus of the Grand Moffat Railway. Cactus, a Denver native ad agency acquired the structure in a most inefficient state, where employees felt closed in, layers of history packed into the walls, with limited access to light and air, as well as a disconnected flow between neighboring departments. They needed an upgrade, where employees felt inspired to produce their best creative work. Addressing the first priority of light and openness, the building was stripped down to its component pieces of brick, wood and steel. Introduced materials were limited to steel, glass, and reclaimed maple wood. Through the creation of a large central atrium, made of maple floors from old railroad boxcars, sunlight now reaches all occupants and floor levels, including the rubble basement, previously regarded as a dungeonous area to be avoided. Now it is home to a day lit kitchen and place for project based meeting rooms. Incorporating the building into the history of it’s neighborhood and giving a nod to the historic building itself, the exterior was fit with armature made from old railroad tracks, which will become heavily vegetated over time. Not only does this add a pleasing natural aesthetic, the vegetation will further contribute to sun shading and the energy efficiency of the building. In this system, the main source of temperature control is via the roof, which is heavily insulated to adapt to heat and cold conditions, providing optimal comfort to building inhabitants. Throughout the building, all systems were modified into what is now a highly efficient, well-lit incubator for a group of creative professionals.

		<description>Modest 1954 ranch house in a prime mixed-density residential neighborhood looks to add flow and quality over just square footage. Client desires both fun entertainment digs for friends and comfortable retreat for parents. Photographed study of views are conducted. Crown jewel skylight on roof brings sun to the core, angled walls and punctures capture or shun views, and back decks are like secret spots on a cruise ship.

		<description>A small 1910 brick house in a dense residential neighborhood takes on a 1700 sq. ft. addition to modernize its program and function. Staying true to its materiality, several vertical brick fins are extended from the original house, connected by a grid of steel and timbers as the main structure. The house maximizes surrounding high mountain views within large window boxes of reclaimed timber. 

Cascading floors bring the house down into the back yard. A final drop leaves the rear studio desk flush with the garden outside. Earthy materials and expansive glass planes blur the lines between indoor and outdoor.

They curve and suspend and serpentine their way into the dressing rooms. Find local running medals embedded in concrete countertop.
