Mike Moore, one of my personal heros, stopped by the shop yesterday to discuss making some mods to his firms website (tresbirds.com). Mike and his wife Stacy just had their second daugther, Maya, a couple of weeks ago (CONGRATULATIONS!), and subsequently Mike’s been dug in at home helping out. Mike broke out yesterday to hit the boulder skatepark (kinda frkikin’ nutz since it’s like 15 degrees in Boulder and theres piles of snow everywhere), but he needed to get his skate on. Mike is an architect, designer, and general contractor and owns Tres Birds Workshop. Mr. Moore is in my opinion one of the leading creative thinkers in Boulder, CO and leading the charge amongst next generation creatives worldwide. He’s recently had the opportunity to showcase his talent and skills on a global scale. After meeting John Damiano approximately 1 year ago, another dear and admired friend of the JE crew and Territorial Manager for Burton Snowboards, John and Mike decided to collaborate on John’s latest idea for a “flagshp” Burton showroom in Denver (pics coming soon).
Working closely and collaboratively, Tres Birds and Damiano, Inc. killed it, and John’s new showroom has not only raised the bar for Burton as a brand, but become the global model for what a Burton showroom should be. One thing led to another and Mike and Tres Birds are now building Burton’s flagship retail store in the heart of Chicago’s Goldcoast downtown shopping district. Between the completion of Damiano’s Denver showroom and the inception of the Chicago project Tres Birds has worked on other projects for Burton in both California and Tokyo.
We” be headin’ down to Denver tomorrow to have dinner with John (Eva, Lucian and myself), on a bit of an inspirational tour. We’ll be takin’ pics, so stay tuned and be prepared to be blown away. Jealousy is most likely the emotion you’ll be experiencing upon seeing pics of the space. It’s hard not to set foot in the John’s Denver showroom and not imagine how radical the creative process must’ve been during the design/build phase. Upon moving beyond that mindset all one can really do is envision what it must feel like each and every day to work and create in such an amazing and inspiring space.
We tip our hats to Mike Moore, the Tres Birds crew, and John Damiano on creating what is perhaps the most inspirational space in Colorado.
A couple pics of some Moore’s earlier projects are posted below.
