When Slifer Designs Project Manager Andrea Georgopolis was asked to design longtime client Susan Frampton’s home in the up-and-coming Union Station neighborhood of downtown Denver she knew she was in for something special. Formerly a 14-block scar in the city’s urban fabric, Denver’s historic Union Station was underutilized for decades until voters approved a tax increase to fund a redevelopment plan that would make the area a mixed-use urban neighborhood for which Union Station would function as its hub. Because Frampton’s home is located in such an emerging neighborhood, she wanted an urban feel to the condo. Georgopolis explained that the location factored into the design “because the unit is in the city and a retreat for the clients to use when they come from the mountains.”
