Zentana Conference Resort

Conference Center with Wellness in Mind

These early conceptual images and massing studies offer a glimpse into the initial design direction for this Colorado hospitality project. From the outset, the land and its surroundings have shaped our thinking. While the broader area is slated for future urban development, our vision remains rooted in honoring the natural prairie landscape of the Front Range and the region’s historic relationship between architecture and place.

This influence led us to explore simple, timeless forms, architecture that is restrained in massing yet expressive through its materiality. Through pattern, texture, light, and shadow, the design evokes a sense of movement and connection to the land.

At the heart of this vision is a strong focus on wellness. Our customized Be Well at Zentana program has guided the planning from the earliest phases, establishing wellness as a defining feature of the guest experience and overall hospitality offering.
