Roth Sheppard Architects has unveiled its preliminary design for Room & Board’s 9,600-square-foot expansion of its Cherry Creek store, located at 222 Detroit St.
The expanded space will enable
Room & Board to display more of its modern furniture and accessories to better serve its growing customer base.
"We’re thrilled to see this project move forward thanks to the enthusiastic support of Cherry Creek North and the city of Denver," says Natalie Brown, Project Designer for
Roth Sheppard Architects. "Room & Board's expanded showroom will be one of the greatest retail experiences in Colorado, and the roof-top deck will provide a stunning new space for their outdoor furniture collection."
While the existing store will remain largely untouched, it will connect to a new two-story Modernist addition via an open staircase that leads to the rooftop deck. The new second floor features a transparent exterior that will give it the appearance of floating above a new street-front showroom.
The main entry will remain the same, and the addition will be accessed through the existing showroom. There will be additional onsite parking spacesa nd exterior materials will be drawn from the building’s existing pallet. Room & Board will partner with local community groups to make the new rooftop space available for meetings and events.
The official opening of the new space is slated for spring 2015. The existing showroom is expected to remain open during construction.
