RUSS MARTINO - Martino & Luth was founded in 2004 in Denver, Colorado filling the need for a Denver based company that could focus on the essence of structural engineering and the art of creative problem solving. A philosophy Luth developed in the late 1970's. Martino & Luth strive to bring the art of structural engineering back to the profession within their design collaborative: The Renaissance Design Group. The only prerequisite for attracting the best efforts of our engineers is that there be a need for - and appreciation of- thoughtful, elegant and creative engineering solutions. We relish a challenge. We have amassed a large and eclectic body of work over the past 20+ years including projects of virtually every type and material ranging from major bridges to small residential projects.
