W8 ALUMNI : WHERE ARE THEY NOW? If you’ve been following our history posts and scrap book, you’ll know that we’ve been virtually going back in time to celebrate 20 years of business—from the multi-discipline design studio we are today back to the small “mom-and-pop” architecture studio called VaST, the original firm created by Joseph and […]

A NEW MURAL MEETS IRIS AVE Photo courtesy of Triathlete Magazine This year for “International WORKSHOP8 Day” we dedicated our community service to help a friend, a cyclist, an advocate, and founder of #itcouldbeme.

VIRTUAL CHEERS TO OUR AMAZING STAFF! Due to COVID-19, the W8 crew has been working at home since March.

MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER WE ARE ESSENTIAL Just like most of the country, Colorado is under a “Stay at Home Order,” and last week almost everyone came into the studio and grabbed their computers and their second monitors — a couple of people even took their desk chairs — so that they could set […]
March is Women’s History Month! It’s that time of year again when we celebrate all the boss-ladies killing the game in the design industry. From architecture and interior design to public art, furniture design, graphic design and beyond, we thank all the female pioneers serving as role models for the future generations of aspiring female […]
