Studiotrope Design Collective

We were honored to attend the Grand Opening of the newly renovated Martin Luther King Jr. Library in Aurora earlier this month.� This impactful project expands the library’s footprint to approximately 14,000 square feet, transforming it into a vibrant community hub that supports creativity, collaboration, and learning.

The renovation thoughtfully integrates state-of-the-art technology, flexible collaboration and youth learning spaces, and a dedicated makerspace equipped with tools such as 3D printers, laser cutters, and sewing equipment — all designed to broaden access and opportunity for patrons of all ages.

We’re proud to have contributed to a design that fosters exploration and connection, and to see this bright, welcoming space now open and serving the Aurora community.

Webb Municipal Building is setting a new standard for an efficient, people-centered workplace.

Over the past three years, studiotrope has been working with the City and County of Denver to modernize and consolidate their workforce within the Webb Municipal Building. The renovation reimagines this 23-year-old facility for today’s hybrid work models—introducing flexible meeting spaces, improved public areas, and wellness-focused environments that enhance both staff and community experiences. More than half complete, a community cafe and remaining floors will be finished in 2026.
