Downtown Denver?s first green roof was a golden achievement. Completed in fall 2006, it was the initial sign of a modern transformation in the Rocky Mountain-area office market. This sustainable installation can be found hidden inside the new, incredibly energy-efficient regional home for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The design of the nine-story, LEED Gold-rated building reinforces EPA's important message of resource conservation. Its double-L plan features distinct window and material designs for sunward- and windward-facing zones. Architect Zimmer Gunsul Frasca employed a contextual red brick at the lower floors -- a nod to the historic masonry construction in Denver's Lower Downtown, or LoDo, area.
