Uchi creates food with fresh ingredients in ways that defy expectations. The design intent was to support this mission through the program of the building and the sensory experience of the space. A 7000 sf greenhouse sits atop the seating space. It supplies the kitchen with the freshest organic greens available throughout the year. Likewise, the materials used to in the space are common materials to the region, yet used in an unexpected manner. The southern brick wall is constructed of red bricks reclaimed from Denver demolition projects with the insertion of custom made crystal bricks.
