ILLEGAL 
PETE'S

Our partnership with Illegal Pete's spans four projects, including the South Boulder, Denver University, and Wheat Ridge restaurants, as well as the company's corporate headquarters in Denver. Each project reflects the brand's bold, unconventional personality while responding to the unique character of its surrounding community.

​

The design balances industrial materials with warm finishes, vibrant graphics, and inviting gathering spaces that support the fast-paced energy of one of Colorado's most recognizable restaurant brands. Every location was thoughtfully planned to maximize operational efficiency while creating memorable guest experiences that encourage people to gather, connect, and return.

​

From neighborhood restaurants to the corporate office that supports the growing brand, our continued collaboration with Illegal Pete's demonstrates the value of thoughtful design in building a strong, recognizable brand while creating places that people remember.
