Mile High Flood District

Mile High Flood District wanted a new home to celebrate 50 years of serving Denver and surrounding areas. They had a decision to make: they could lease office space or purchase a building. Kestrel Design Group was instrumental in helping Mile High Flood District and the real estate team value the building by providing detailed due diligence. Once MHFD made the building purchase, Kestrel was tasked with modernizing this 30-year-old, two-story structure to meet the program requirements and hit the project budget and goals. The building had existing amenities that included open stairwells, large training and meeting spaces, and a large central atrium space for entertaining. As an organization, they are dedicated to the protecting people, property and the environment through stream preservation and flood management, so it was a natural decision that the color story throughout their space lean into greens, blues and purples - the natural and soothing colors of water.⁠ The rest of the design was inspired by organic patterns and neutral textures. Colorful graphics and murals that harken to nature stand out, boldly splashed across the walls. What better way to bring the outside, in?
