About Us

Founded in 2018, Engine 8 is a close-knit, dynamic architecture firm based in Denver. Our experienced team of licensed architects is driven by a shared passion for enhancing every human experience in the built environment, regardless of project scale or complexity. We’ve earned a reputation for producing design that's imaginative as well as rigorously considered and readily constructible.  

What We Do

In a dynamic development environment, we believe an architect must bring more than exceptional creativity to the table. At Engine 8, we are your ally. Urban infill, adaptive reuse, hospitality, multifamily – the more complex the puzzle, the better. Armed with a deep understanding of construction processes, materials, and techniques, we help you solve your project challenges with creative and practical design strategies.  

We are your partner for the long haul, ensuring a well-executed design through the last punch list item. That means not only are we on top of our own deadlines, we are accountable for leading the entire design process, keeping everyone in the know and on track.

Our model recognizes that when it comes to commercial architecture and design, one size does not fit all. Each project has its unique characteristics, constraints, and ambitions, so our flexible structure allows us to tailor our services to ensure you have exactly what you need to realize your project’s ambition.
