CRUX consists of a series of micro communities that engage the public/passerby/traveler on the lower floors, the daily visitor on the middle floors, and the permanent occupants on the upper floors. The mixed-use complex features restaurants surrounding a public plaza, a produce market with fresh food being grown within its double-skin façade, 150 hotel rooms with balconies overlooking the plaza, rentable rooftop garden space, office space, parking, 200 condos, and amenities for tenants (a pool, gym, indoor and outdoor game areas, two bar/cafes, and a meditation room). All of these user groups enjoy being in the mix of a vibrant urban culture, while the Rockies are only a quick trip or westward gaze away.

CRUX pulls the distant fresh air, change in elevation, and vegetation straight into the city, collecting inhabitants to extroverted and introverted spaces to enjoy nature in the middle of a thriving metropolis.
