Isleta Pueblo Administration Building < Back Isleta Pueblo Administration Building The Schematic Design phase of this project has been successfully completed. However, due to the impact of COVID, its progress is currently on hold. Once operational, the facility will serve as a centralized hub for all Pueblo Administrative staff, streamlining various departments under one roof. As the administrative functions are currently scattered across the Pueblo, this facility aims to bring together essential departments, including Transportation, Design & Construction, Survey & Mapping, Environment, Public Works, Natural Resources, Procurement, Treasury, Human Resources, Water Resources, and Isleta Pueblo Housing Authority. This consolidation will significantly benefit the Pueblo community by enhancing accessibility and convenience for administrative services. The planned facility also includes a spacious training room designed to double as an Emergency Operation Center when needed. This multi-purpose space ensures the Pueblo is prepared to respond effectively to any emergency situation that may arise. Although the project is currently on hold, the completion of the Schematic Design phase marks a promising step towards creating a highly functional and efficient administrative center for the Pueblo. Once resumed, the facility will serve as a cornerstone for improved administrative services and emergency preparedness within the community.

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.

Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo Elementary School < Back Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo Elementary School The Ohkay Owingeh Community Classroom Building for the Pueblo of Ohkay Owingeh is a much-needed replacement for the old school building(s). The 11,700 square foot 1-story facility fits nicely between remaining structures on their campus and will bring an element of excitement and pride to the students, staff, and the community. The New School consists of K-6 Classrooms and a Special Education and Language Classroom. The plan is efficient and conventional in its layout. You approach the main entry to the east which is covered by a “butterfly” shaped roof with wide overhangs. The rest of the building is finished in a combination of stucco and burnished concrete block. Fenestration is protected by sun screens and the center area of the School has a raised volume of space and a clerestory window that brings natural light into the center of the building.

Peralta Community Park < Back Peralta Community Park This project was designed in conjunction with the Peralta Community Center Project. To further compliment and to extend the functions of the Community Center, this project was designed to provide the community a public park, playground area, open grass areas, and plenty of landscaping to pay homage to the community, the bosque, and the network of water ways and ditch banks that crisscross the valley and provide life to the small farming community. Investigations are on-going to expand the park potentially another 1.5Acres to the South to include more open grass area for play and sport.

Zuni Pueblo Masterplan < Back Zuni Pueblo Masterplan The Zuni Route 4 Master Plan responds to the pressing need for additional housing, driven by the requirements of Tribal members, present and future Pueblo employees, and the potential return of Tribal members to their ancestral land. This comprehensive initiative has a central goal of diversifying housing options, including single-family homes, townhomes, apartments, and mobile homes, all with a keen focus on supporting multi-generational living arrangements to foster family closeness. The Master Plan incorporates a detailed Land Use Plan that visually designates zones for single and multi-family residences, commercial areas, public safety facilities, daycare centers, parks, and open spaces. A well-integrated road and utility corridor system is proposed to ensure efficient vehicular and pedestrian access throughout the Master Plan area. Additionally, the plan envisions a trail system to promote non-motorized transportation, encouraging a healthier lifestyle among residents. Furthermore, the Master Plan outlines housing preferences, commercial development, and desired densities to serve and enrich the community. Recognizing the significance of water and sewer infrastructure, concurrent projects have been incorporated to ensure they align seamlessly with the Route 4 Master Plan's overarching vision. In conclusion, the Zuni Route 4 Master Plan is a comprehensive strategy that addresses housing needs, fosters community cohesion, and elevates the quality of life for the Zuni Pueblo Tribe. By combining thoughtful land use planning, infrastructure development, and a commitment to multi-generational living, the plan sets the course for a sustainable and thriving future for the community.
