Centura Studios

Centura Studios is a workforce housing project located in Frisco, CO, within a half-mile walking distance of Main Street, the marina, the business corridor, the transit center, and recreational path. In collaboration with Brynn Grey Partners and Wolff Lyon Architects, Pel-Ona Architects & Urbanists designed 3 buildings with a total of 37 residential units to contribute to the Centura Health Center campus.

The proposed eastern and northern buildings feature a single-loaded design, with exterior walk-up stairs providing access to the upper units from the rear. Their fronts face onto the courtyard, animating the public space and giving opportunity for each unit to have exposure to natural light and views. The rear sides of these buildings face the parking areas, de-emphasizing vehicles while prioritizing the pedestrian experience and social activities that may take place in the courtyard.

The building to the west has a “double-loaded corridor” design, offering dual orientation for its units. This layout allows half of the units to face the courtyard, while the other half orient toward Summit Boulevard, creating a balanced and varied streetscape.
