Our new Steamboat Springs City Hall is just months away from opening its doors! The AH team hit the mountains this fall to check out the progress and celebrate our latest contemporary design. We can’t wait to see it come to life!
Resiliency Meets Harmony
Anderson Hallas led the design of the new visitor contact center at Cedar Breaks National Monument, a striking gateway to the breathtaking views of Point Supreme Overlook. This facility harmonizes historic design elements with contemporary aesthetics, creating expanded indoor and sheltered outdoor spaces for park staff and a growing crowd of visitors to enjoy.
The design showcases a spacious, sheltered area crowned by an intersecting gabled roof that echoes the charm of the nearby CCC-era cabin. With a sturdy steel-framed structure, the Cedar Breaks Visitor Contact Station is built to withstand the wild challenges of its remote location, including heavy snow loads and seismic activity, while tackling tricky soil conditions and a tight construction window. This thoughtful design not only enhances the visitor experience but also stands as a testament to resilience and innovation in harmony with nature. As a welcoming hub for explorers and nature lovers alike, the Cedar Breaks Visitor Contact Station is poised to be a cherished gathering place, bridging the past and present while celebrating the stunning landscape that surrounds it.

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!
