This holiday season, the team at HMH Architecture & Interiors swapped out the usual office party for something way more exciting: a Holiday Design Scavenger Hunt through the heart of Downtown Boulder! 🏙️ Why settle for a typical celebration when you can explore the city, tap into your inner designer, and spread holiday cheer all at once?
Armed with phones, a list of clues, and a whole lot of holiday spirit, our team dove into an afternoon packed with creative challenges and a touch of competitive fun. The twist? Each clue was design-themed, sending us on a whirlwind adventure through Boulder’s iconic landmarks, local businesses, and architectural gems — all while giving us a chance to show off our design expertise in the most festive way possible.✨
A Local Adventure
From cozy coffee shops and iconic historic buildings to vibrant public art and hidden gems, our scavenger hunt was a celebration of everything that makes Boulder so unique. We hit up some of our favorite spots where we’ve put our architectural and interior design magic to work, rediscovering familiar corners of the city and discovering fresh spots we’d never seen before. It was a perfect blend of work, play, and supporting local businesses — all while soaking in the magic of the season. 🎁
Snapshots of Fun
Of course, we didn’t let a single moment go undocumented. Whether we were hamming it up in front of a shop window, racing to solve a tricky riddle, or laughing at the antics of our teammates, our phones were loaded with snapshots that’ll keep us smiling long after the season’s over. Some photos were picture-perfect, others a little more… silly. But every single one captured the joy, camaraderie, and creativity that make the HMH team so special. 🤳❤️
Bonding Beyond the Office
As architects and designers, we spend a lot of time problem-solving together in the studio, but the scavenger hunt gave us a chance to bond outside of our usual roles. Whether we were puzzling over clues, cheering each other on, or laughing at how ridiculously hard it was to track down an iconic midcentury chair tucked away in downtown Boulder, it was a reminder that great teamwork doesn’t just happen in the office — it’s built on shared moments of fun and creativity. 🏆
Supporting Local Businesses
One of the highlights of our day was the chance to support the amazing local businesses that make downtown Boulder such a unique place to work and play. From family-owned shops to entrepreneurial spots brimming with character, each business added its own touch to our holiday adventure. It was a meaningful way to show our love for the community that’s supported us through the years. 💖
HMH’s Holiday Design Scavenger Hunt wasn’t just another holiday outing — it was a reminder of the importance of stepping outside the office to experience the world around us. Whether we were navigating tricky design challenges or simply soaking in the beauty of Boulder, the day brought our team closer together in ways that a traditional holiday party never could. 🎉
From all of us at HMH Architecture & Interiors, we wish you a season filled with laughter, adventure, and, of course, design inspiration. Here’s to more exciting moments ahead, both inside the office and out on the streets of Boulder! 🌟🎉
Happy Holidays!
