TAXI is a new eclectic mixed-use development in Denver’s RINO district. My husband Mark and I have worked together on several curtain projects in this space, and I took a few fun pics of the space after installing some curtains a few weeks ago…

TAXI currently houses over 40 creative businesses on the 1st and 2nd floors of this modern “landscraper”, and is also home to many other creative individuals in their 3rd floor living/loft spaces. They have their own pilates studio on site, as well as the gourmet Fuel Cafe. Visit the official TAXI website for more info on their Work/Live spaces and the new building that will begin contruction this fall.

The TAXI design utilizes the modern beauty of raw industrial structural components, leaving “the bones” of the building exposed and accenting details with intense pops of color throughout. The pink-hued shot above is looking out a pink plexi window in one of the hallways.

The most recent curtain project that we completed was in Kyle Zeppelin’s corner unit (above). Kyle has worked closely with his father, Mickey Zeppelin at Zeppelin Development throughout the concept and construction of TAXI1 and TAXI2, and has been doing sales/leasing for the finished spaces at TAXI, as well as working on the new TAXI3 development.

These curtains cover a wall of clothing closet space, as well as laundry/utility space. I think they make a strong visual impact on cleaning up the visual clutter that they are now masking, as well as serving to soften the strong architectural elements throughout this loft space. I did all of the sewing in this project, while my husband did all of the custom metal fabrication in order to hang the curtain track in this open closet space (above). I think we make a great team, as we combine our individual skills in metal and soft goods fabrication in this project!

Now, we go back to 2007 and my first project at TAXI. Phase 2 was still under construction at the time, while I sewed and installed this super long curtain in the conference room. You can see the skyline of Denver through the pink fabric band that runs vertically throughout the curtain.
