Description: WORKSHOP8 is a Colorado-based design firm specializing in architecture, interiors, & public art with a focus on planning, affordable housing & community impact.
At WORKSHOP8, we’re more than just architects—we’re creators, innovators, and storytellers. Our talents stretch far beyond architecture, encompassing interior design, urban planning, public art, and graphic design. For us, every project is an opportunity to blend beauty, sustainability, practicality, and affordability into a cohesive and inspiring whole. We exist to inspire, enrich, and transform lives through values-driven design, partnering with mission-driven clients to make a lasting impact.
Our approach is holistic and thoughtful, aiming to craft elegant solutions that address every aspect of a project, from site and cultural context to environmental considerations and budget realities. We believe that design is a powerful tool for bringing communities together and improving lives, which is why we integrate art and design into everything we do.
Based in Boulder, WORKSHOP8 was founded in 2000 by Brandy LeMae and Joseph Vigil, initially as VaST, before rebranding to WORKSHOP8 in 2010. Our team is made up of passionate, creative individuals who are as committed to social involvement as they are to design. We believe that good design should be accessible to everyone, and we’re dedicated to making a difference while also making a profit.
