Early this month, OZ officially launched a new era in our history with a celebration of our 60th Anniversary, an open house debuting our newly renovated office, and our annual art show.
OZ Architecture celebrated its 60th anniversary with an open house and art show at its newly renovated office in the heart of RiNo, aligning with First Friday and the Denver Walls art festival. With over 300 guests in attendance before the public opening, the evening was a tribute to clients, collaborators, and the broader OZ community.
Our new office served as a gallery, with art installations curated by NINE dot ARTS throughout conference rooms and hallways, encouraging guests to explore the space while enjoying food and drinks. The OZ Art Show featured the work of the firm’s staff, showcasing fine art, photography, and hand-crafted items. The event also featured a live painting session by local artist Chris Haven, whose work tied into the Denver Walls street art festival. Attendees were treated to media presentations in the conference rooms, where a new series of interviews with past and present OZ partners offered a glimpse into the firm’s legacy and the journey that led to its 60-year milestone.
Our neighbors from Odell Brewing Company, Ratio Beerworks, and The Block Distilling Co. served drinks throughout the night.
The celebration reflected OZ’s past and a look forward while acknowledging the people who have shaped the firm’s legacy. As we continue celebrating OZ 60, we will share more media and content about our history and future.
