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.
