Superbloom is excited to be working with Studio Gang and Urban Villages on the landscape design for the green roof, rooftop terrace and streetscape for Downtown Denver’s new Populus Hotel.

The stunning hotel, designed to reference Colorado’s most iconic tree, the Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) is located at the corner of Civic Center Park, and will bring new life to Denver’s civil, arts, and commercial districts. Populus will include an accessible restaurant, bike shop, café, incubator, and extensive green rooftop terrace. The project aims to maximize sustainability through innovative high performance building envelope, solar energy, native habitat and more.

Other team members include: Kimley Horn, American Hydrotech, Studio NYL, Design Agency, WSP, Arup, LS Group, Lerch Bates, Advanced Consulting Engineers.

The project has been featured in Fast Company, Arch Daily, Dezeen, Arch Paper, and 303 Magazine.
