Modern In Denver Magazine

Enter now for a chance to win a print giveaway from artist Jamie Kripke, who is prominently featured in our newly released spring issue! “Expansion No. 13” is inspired by Kripke’s time in Tokyo with his family and you could win a signed and numbered print. The image is 14” x 18” and the frame is 16” x 20.” Valued at $1,500, the winner will get free delivery and installation within the Denver-Boulder or Aspen areas or free shipping everywhere else. “This image really sums up our family’s time in Japan,” Kripke said. “The Meguro River is lined with hundreds of cherry trees, and over our six months in Tokyo, we walked along its banks daily.” The work is part of Kripke’s latest exhibition, “Expansion,” which opens on Saturday, April 5 at 2304 Pine St. in Boulder. He took photographs gathered during his time in Tokyo and extracted and intensified the elements that first captivated him—color, form, texture, light. The giveaway runs through Wednesday, April 30, so click the following link to enter: https://lnkd.in/gRym2aHg . . . #modernindenver #magazine #jamiekripke #giveaway #tokyoart #contests

It’s #throwbackthursday here at Modern In Denver and we’re looking back at one of our favorite restaurants. Located above LoHi on the fifth floor of 2930 Umatilla, El Five is a restaurant that offers more than just delicious food—diners are also treated to quite the view of downtown Denver. The restaurant was designed by BOSS.Architecture, LLC and opened in 2017 and in the ensuing years it has become a favorite spot for those seeking out unique flavors from places like Spain, North Africa, and the Middle East. El Five is the perfect blend of design and function, transporting guests above the city and all over the world. Images: James Florio . . . #modernindenver #magazine #elfive #restaurants

Another snowy day got us thinking about the beautiful property Kevin Stephenson, cofounding principal of BOSS.architecture, designed and built near Alma and Fairplay. We featured the home in our winter 2022 issue and wrote about how Stephenson slowly built his family home piece by piece, allowing himself time to iterate on design decisions and come up with an end result that blended isolation with connection. The home’s embrace of the natural world is something BOSS.architecture has continued, as can be seen in Cherry Hills home we featured in this year’s winter issue.

As builders seek out better and more sustainable ways to construct projects, many are going back in time to the raw materials the planet provides. This has led to earth building becoming popular again as an approach that can help lower the carbon footprint in residences and buildings. Part of the green building and eco-architecture movement, these approaches use local materials like straw, clay, and wood to enhance ecological and human health in the built environment.
