Kilnhouse for Art Student League of Denver200 Grant Street, Denver, CO

This new Kilnhouse is the product of collaboration of sculptors and architects under watchful eye of administration of this venerable artistic institution. This modest yet significant structure is a free standing addition to an art campus located in the historic heart of Denver. Our repeated client, ASL aimed to provide high-quality, high-capacity clay kiln serving both teaching and professional clay studios.

New building is respectful toward the existing school (Denver Landmark) while providing nostalgia-free interpretation of architectural tradition. Along with historically-dictated masonry, the new pavilion uses masculine cable-turnbuckle-clamp detailing. Along with traditional terra-cotta coloration, the color palette is expanded to include apple green and stainless steel.
