SMPS is presenting the conversation, “Talking Trends: Adaptive Reuse and the Colorado Marketplace” which focuses on repurposing, reusing and revitalizing office space, residential, retail, restaurant, and entertainment space while maintaining Denver's signature character and presence. This event offers attendees table conversations with industry-leading architects in the adaptive reuse space. Colorado office space has grown by 3.4 million square feet through adaptive reuse over the past century with a recent focus on office-to-multifamily conversions and warehouse to office/hospitality. Owners, developers and other building professionals will find this program interesting as it includes best practices, future trends, and lessons learned to optimize your efforts.

Krista Dumkrieger, AIA, NCARB Krista is a Principal in the Mixed-Use Residential Studio at Cooper Carry, Inc. Since joining them in 2011, she has devoted her career to the design and construction of beautiful, livable multifamily and mixed-use developments. Krista graduated from the University of Notre Dame, and it was that program’s semester in Rome, Italy that opened her eyes to multifamily housing as a historic building form spanning millennia, and its ability to be a beautiful, organic part of a community. Post-graduation, she helped design and build single family housing for low-income families with Habitat for Humanity. There she grew an appreciation for designing within constraints and solving the puzzle of maximizing value while working under a tight budget. Today, Krista enjoys the challenges of articulating the client’s vision and translating it into a solution appropriate to the given environment and community. As she helps build Cooper Carry’s Denver presence, she is eager to address the housing challenges of today with creative, adaptive, and regenerative design strategies, and leverage Cooper Carry’s expertise in Adaptive Reuse. Matt Cecere, AIA, LEED AP Matt brings over 20 years of experience on a broad range of adaptive reuse projects, ripe with their own uniquely complex sites and design challenges. Recent local projects include: The Slate Hotel, a former historic technical school located in downtown Denver and inspired by the rich history and mission of the building’s namesake, Emily Griffith; and, Denver’s first social club, the Clayton Member’s Club and Hotel, which was also an adaptation and major expansion of a former building in an urban district. Alex Garrison Alex is a design director and award-winning leader at Gensler, including AIA Young Architect of the Year and DBJ 40 Under 40. A firm believer in always being curious, he leads project teams in the tireless pursuit of innovative design solutions. Alex was raised moving back and forth between the U.S. and Brazil, which led him to experience culture as both an insider and outsider. This dual background has contributed to his belief that great architecture comes from listening and understanding divergent points-of-view. This is strengthened by his national and international design experience, which covers multiple scales, cultures, and typologies. His passion for issues at the intersection of art and science has led Alex to explore an architecture that is aspirational, intuitive, future-focused, and designed always for the human experience. Josie Hyde Josie is a studio director, design manager, and architect in the Gensler Denver office. Over her 20-year career, clients and consultants highly value Josie’s leadership and input, and she is often requested on projects. She has specialized primarily in commercial office buildings, multifamily, aviation, entertainment, and hospitality. Although she has spent the majority of her career in Florida, since moving to Denver in early 2022, she has embraced the adaptive reuse area of growth particularly with a strong focus on existing office to residential conversions in the Denver metro area. The overlap with her previous experience, passion for sustainability and goals of creating positive effects on the built environment, she has found an incredible synergy and growth opportunity. Josie is an active member of AIA, NCARB, and USGBC. Tobias Strohe As a Partner at JNS, Tobias Strohe contributes to the firm’s technical and creative direction.
