We Moved!

Anderson Hallas Architects is settled in our new studio!
📍 1317 Washington Avenue, Golden, CO

Just around the corner from our former studio we took on our own adaptive reuse, transforming a 1940s bungalow-turned-dentist-office into our new home. Fronting Washington Avenue in the heart of downtown Golden, our new space speaks to our ethic of sustainability, expertise with adaptive reuse, and bold contemporary design. Watch for the unveiling later this summer!
