"Seeing their profession as an opportunity to create beauty and make a positive impact on society, the architects and designers of Architectural Workshop are approachable and highly team oriented. Mark Bowers founded the company on the simple principle that the best projects result from diverse perspectives and uninhibited creativity. Whether working in the residential, commercial, civic, or religious realm, the team pushes beyond the necessities of form and function to develop progressive, sustainable designs that elicit an emotional response. An emphasis on natural materials and a sense of openness pervade all of Architectural Workshop's projects."

 

"After working with Mark and Joe for the past five years, and completing nearly a dozen projects together in Denver, I would highly recommend them for your next renovation project. These individuals perform quality design and exceptional professionalism."

 

"After interviewing firms of various sizes, we selected Architectural Workshop (AW) because they provided the most compelling vision for the space, and demonstrated during the interview process an ability and willingness to truly understand the user group. Our ability to raise funds for the project was driven in large part by the vision created by AW.
I've had several contractors comment to me that the drawing produced by AW are some of the most accurate and thorough they had ever worked with."

 

"The project was bid and came in under budget. Mark was present on site the duration of the construction and he was the key in finding solutions for unforeseen conditions when they would arise. The project has just closed out and is considered very successful by the building users and by the University."

 

"Through the design process, Architectural Workshop was professional and responsive to all the user group. They provided a vision for the project with design sketches, material presentations and design workshop sessions with the users.
Architectural Workshop's attention to detail, ability to communicate with the client, work within a tight budget, and be responsive to concerns and questions brought up by the owner, project manager, or contractor were very impressive. They definitely went above and beyond what was expected of an architect."

 

"Mark and I share common backgrounds. Coming out of Chicago, we both started our careers at CF Murphy (Murphy Jahn). Mark's modernist approach to design, and his clean and crisp articulation in form comes from his early years in the Chicago School tradition. I believe him to be one of the most gifted architects that I have come across in recent years.
AW is a highly collaborative and talented young design firm. They have been active in AIA Denver for the past 5 years and continually strive to serve the community through their talents with in-kind service projects.
While they are a young, small practice, I believe that they could easily qualify for AIA Denver Firm of the Year."
