As VFLA Architecture + Interiors celebrates 40 years of design, we’re rolling back the reel to revisit projects that helped shape the communities we call home.

Today’s look back: The Cortina – 224 Canyon Ave, Fort Collins.

Completed in 2004, this six-story residential building brought a distinctive Spanish-inspired architectural style to the edge of Old Town. Designed with 22 condominium units, the structure blends stone, stucco, and concrete to create a warm, textured façade that still stands out in the 80521 neighborhood today.

More than two decades later, The Cortina remains part of the evolving fabric of downtown Fort Collins—one of many projects in VFLA’s 40-year story of designing places where people live, work, and connect. See VFLA.com/Press for more history and projects.

40 Years. Countless Stories. Still designing forward.

Taking a look back at the Sky Pond Office Building in Loveland marked VFLA’s first LEED Silver certified project, introducing sustainable strategies like high-performance building envelopes, daylight-filled workspaces, and water-efficient landscaping—years before green design became the norm.

Take a look back at the project, along with other moments, that helped shape our high performance sustainable design journey.
