T'siya Enrichment and Learning Center T’siya Enrichment & Learning Center 2 marks a meticulous redesign of the original project, necessitated by its relocation to a smaller site and more stringent plan requirements. This adjustment resulted in a significant reduction of approximately 30% in the overall square footage of the facility. Despite these constraints, we remained committed to upholding the core program requirements of the center. To ensure the continuity of its enriching services, the overall program was thoughtfully retained with only minor adjustments. The number of classrooms was reduced from 8 to 4, while retaining their functionality and efficiency. The flexible community/multi-purpose space and the essential kitchen facilities were retained, albeit on a reduced scale, allowing for continued versatility in accommodating diverse activities and events. The new design for T’siya Enrichment & Learning Center 2 embodies our dedication to delivering an environment that fosters growth, learning, and community engagement, even within the confines of the smaller site and plan limitations. The thoughtful adaptation of the program ensures that the center continues to uphold its mission of providing a nurturing and empowering space for education, enrichment, and personal development.

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.

Isleta 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. View More Projects Back to Top

Nambe Pueblo Teen Center < Back Nambe Pueblo Teen Center Amidst the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, our attention was drawn to a significant project in November 2020 – the creation of a dynamic Teen Center. The task of designing this facility presented numerous obstacles that demanded exploration through several iterations before reaching the final design. Throughout the process, the fluctuating construction costs necessitated constant vigilance and adaptability. We meticulously considered various materials, including wood, steel, metal building, and hybrid options, in order to achieve the most optimal outcome. The Teen Center project, with its unique purpose and youthful energy, stirred our team to approach it with utmost dedication and perseverance. As we navigated through the complexities, we found gratifying solutions that resulted in a predominantly wood hybrid design, perfectly tailored to meet the needs of the young community it will serve. In spite of the formidable challenges faced, the journey to create this Teen Center became a testament to our team's resilience and ingenuity. The final result is a space that promises to empower and inspire teenagers, providing them with a safe, vibrant, and welcoming environment to nurture their passions, creativity, and growth.

San Felipe Master Plan < Back San Felipe Master Plan The San Felipe Exit 252 Master Plan was developed to establish a framework for development of the 70-acre parcel of land that currently includes the Black Mesa Casino and Travel Center and Pueblo Restaurant. Recent developments including the re-branding of the casino, addition of the trucker’s lounge at the travel center and the demolition of the old racetrack has set the stage for the much-needed plan for the long-term development of the site. The primary goal was to create an “achievable plan” that included zones for future development. This master plan, while setting the stage for future development, is none the less a living document. The plan must be continually reviewed and updated as circumstances that influence the decisions made at this time may change in the future. The purpose of any master planning effort is to provide design guidelines for future development. This includes not only the physical planning and layout of the building but also the desired design criteria and standards that must be adhered to. Just as the building program provides specific sizes, and relationship of various spaces so to must the building performance criteria give specific requirements for each of the components used in the construction of the built forms.
