Navajo Technical Utility Authority Office Addition < Back Navajo Technical Utility Authority Office Addition The proposed project is a significant addition to the existing Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA) Building, aiming to enhance and expand its facilities. NTUA has entrusted us with the task of seamlessly integrating the new design with the existing architecture, providing much-needed administrative offices. Our design approach focuses on respecting and preserving the architectural heritage and cultural significance of the NTUA Building. We aim to create a cohesive extension that complements the original structure, maintaining visual continuity by using similar design language and materials. The new design thoughtfully addresses the functional requirements for additional administrative offices, ensuring efficient and organized spaces to meet the organization's evolving needs. Emphasizing a welcoming and inclusive environment, the expanded building maximizes natural light, ventilation, and spatial flow, fostering a productive atmosphere for staff and visitors. Beyond the practical aspects, the project emphasizes the cultural importance of community integration and preservation. We aim to honor Navajo heritage by thoughtfully integrating local art and design motifs into the new addition, creating a space that resonates with a sense of identity and pride. In summary, our proposal for the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority Building addition combines modern functionality with cultural sensitivity, creating a lasting legacy that meets present demands while preserving tradition for future generations.

Dine College Ned Hatathli Center Additions & Renovation < Back Dine College Ned Hatathli Center Additions & Renovation The Ned Hatathli Center, a prominent seven-story high-rise situated at the heart of Dine's College campus in Tsaile, Arizona, has long been an iconic symbol of the institution. Given the historical importance of both the building and the college itself, a meticulous and sensitive approach was required to address its structural issues and undertake planned interior remodels. Over the years, the Ned Hatathli Center has faced substantial structural shifting and cracking due to the instability of the underlying soil conditions. These conditions have not only affected the building's integrity but have also caused visible defects in elements such as the curtain wall system and the first-level floor. Our comprehensive scope of work includes an assessment of the structural framework and the underlying soil conditions supporting the Center, as well as an examination of the curtain wall construction and the factors contributing to discoloration, cracking, and moisture infiltration. In addition to addressing these critical structural concerns, our project encompasses a thoughtful approach to interior remodels. These remodels will include the creation of a welcoming café, modern classrooms, and a culturally significant hall. The café will serve as a gathering space, fostering a sense of community among students and faculty. The classrooms will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology and ergonomic design to enhance the learning experience. The cultural hall, designed with the rich heritage of the Dine people in mind, will provide a dedicated space for cultural events, celebrations, and gatherings. Previous attempts at repairs and deferred maintenance have only exacerbated issues, resulting in additional problems such as leaks, settling, and further deterioration. Our comprehensive approach not only aims to address these longstanding issues but also to transform the interior of the Ned Hatathli Center into a vibrant, functional, and culturally significant hub for the Dine's College community.

Poeh Cultural Center Master Plan < Back Poeh Cultural Center Master Plan The proposed new park is intended to occupy the property to the northwest of the Poeh Cultural Center (PCC). The envisaged park will incorporate a Pueblo Veterans Memorial, a playground, and a fitness course. It is imperative for the park to have direct access to the outdoor activity areas of the PCC. Throughout its history, the Poeh Cultural Center has consistently expanded its offerings, collections, and archives, with an ongoing commitment to serving the Pojoaque Pueblo community and Pueblo Indians across New Mexico. With the continuous growth of collections, archives, and services, there arises a requirement for additional storage and workspace. To address this need, the Buffalo Design team has been chosen to collaborate with the staff and management of the PCC in identifying a suitable approach for expanding the existing center. The objective is to align this expansion with the overarching goals and objectives of the Poeh Cultural Center.
