Mountain Standard
The visionary team behind Sweet Basil restaurant commissioned Semple Brown for an addition to their family of extraordinary Colorado dining destinations. The new space draws on the primitive roots of cooking over an open flame, the refined rusticity of the local culture, and a straightforward attitude of creating unpretentious and enticing food. In favorable weather, the entire facade of the restaurant can be opened to create a connection to the green space and sounds of the creek beyond. Reclaimed wood siding, rusted steel panels, walnut table tops, and theatrical lighting all help to create of feeling of intimate warmth near the open kitchen and its cuisine. Carefully stacked wood piles immediately became an abstract symbol of the Mountain Standard brand, and offers familiar imagery to the modern alpine experience.

















Simplicity at Every Turn
Embracing an inclusive ethos, Hurley Place positions itself with the river as its focal point, inviting diverse communities and fostering economic vibrancy. The Riverfront development is comprised of two residential towers, a hotel tower, and an expansive central open space connecting to the river. This central connector is flanked by food & beverage and retail establishments and serves as both a connection to the Promenade but also a gathering space for the community.
