Dream It. Design It. Build It.

Architecture is not all about lines and curves -- it's about the people. It's about what happens after the walls are in place, the roof construction is complete, and the window installation is finished. It's about who lives beyond our architecture processes and how users interact with and maintain the space. From design to construction and into post-occupancy, your experience is our priority.

Since 2007, Essenza Architecture has created inventive, sustainable spaces in Colorado, across the nation, and as far away as Russia. Recreation centers, aquatic facilities, civic spaces, athletic training facilities, spas, public works facilities, fleet maintenance yards, and offices/tenant improvements, and restaurants are some of the project types in which we specialize. 

When clients are in the investigation phase, feasibility studies, master plans, and community engagement help everyone dream as we lead clients through design solutions that align with budgets.
