Planting firm roots in Denver with key talent anchoring our new office is a natural progression of our ongoing work and reflects our belief in the promise of this thriving metropolis and region.”
ZGF’s new Denver office will be led by designers and Principals Sadie Cline and Ryan Velasco and will be backed by a team with local market connections, a strong portfolio of built work and major projects already well underway.
