Contemporary home furnishings retailer
Room & Board is expanding its store in Cherry Creek North.
The company has hired Denver-based
Roth Sheppard Architects, known for its retail and restaurant work, to design the expansion.
Room & Board first partnered with Roth Sheppard on the renovation and redesign of the retailer's showroom at 222 Detroit Street in 2001. Then, beginning late last year, the company tapped the firm to help it with acquisition of the adjacent property to the south. The purchase of the building at Second Avenue and Detroit Street was finalized in late December.
"The acquisition of additional retail space will enable us to display more of our furniture and accessories in a larger inspirational environment," said Mark Miller, Room & Board's CFO. "This will help us meet more of our customers' needs in the Denver market."
Initially, the newly acquired building will be used to showcase Room & Board’s 2013 collection of handcrafted, American-made outdoor furniture. Minor cosmetic changes will be made for the temporary use of the ground level only. The company’s long-term plan includes the design and construction of a new addition, which will be accessed directly through its existing showroom.
Timing of the expansion has yet to be determined.
