Our studio in Baker

Radix Design is a small architecture firm based in the historic Baker neighborhood of Denver, Colorado.

The word ‘radix’ is Latin for a root vegetable - for instance, a carrot or a radish. ‘Radix’ is also used in mathematics for the root or base of a number system.

In design, Radix stands for an architecture that is rooted in place, at home in the dirt; simple, elegant, and green.

Radix Design was founded in 2016 by Colorado architect Ozi Friedrich.  Ozi's experience includes award-winning projects at scales ranging from small renovations to 100-unit affordable housing developments.

Radix Design has based its business practices on B-Corp principles to help embed responsible and sustainable practices at every level.

RADIX DESIGN takes inspiration from  the principles of Slow Food movement: GOOD, CLEAN, and FAIR.

GOOD: Architecture of quality, beauty, and warmth.

CLEAN: Architecture which is healthy and beneficial for its inhabitants.

FAIR: Architecture that benefits the place around it - street, neighborhood, city, land, and people.
