Hover Architecture

Hover Architecture is a commercial architecture firm that has been working since 2014, headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Its project types include car washes, quick lube and service centers, RV storage and self-storage facilities, retail centers, flex warehouses, veterinary clinics, and mixed-use buildings.

The firm handles every phase of a project rather than coordinating separate consultants: conceptual site planning, schematic and detailed building design, construction documents, and construction administration, with a code analysis done before drawings begin to establish what permits and approvals will require. Construction documents are prepared with its consultants and cover architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, landscape, and civil drawings.

Projects often start with a complimentary conceptual site plan showing buildings, parking, access points, landscaping, setbacks, buffers, and easements, to test whether a building fits a site before spending on architectural drawings. The firm says most US jurisdictions accept its conceptual site plan for pre-application review and that it turns plans around in a few days. It also offers prototype design for franchisees and growing brands that want a repeatable building.

Over 200 commercial developments have been built using Hover's drawings. Fees are not published. Storage is one of several building types the firm works on alongside its automotive focus, so buyers should confirm recent self-storage experience directly.
