Architectural Design
Our architectural design process begins with understanding client vision and site context to create functional, aesthetically compelling spaces. We deliver customized solutions for residential, commercial, and institutional projects, emphasizing material authenticity and environmental integration. Our approach balances creative innovation with technical precision to meet regulatory requirements and budget constraints.
Historic Preservation
Specializing in historic building renovation, we preserve architectural heritage through meticulous research and adaptive reuse strategies. Our team meets preservation standards while incorporating modern systems and accessibility requirements. We've restored landmark properties like La Fonda on the Plaza and Acoma Sky City Cultural Center, maintaining historical integrity while ensuring functional longevity.
Sustainable Design
We integrate LEED-certified practices and sustainable materials throughout the design process. Our approach considers energy efficiency, water conservation, and local resource utilization to minimize environmental impact. Projects incorporate passive solar design, natural ventilation systems, and regionally sourced materials to create ecologically responsible buildings that enhance occupant well-being.
Community Planning
Our community-focused design process engages stakeholders to create spaces that reflect collective identity. We collaborate with indigenous communities and cultural institutions on projects that balance modern needs with traditional values. This includes educational facility planning, public space design, and cultural center development that fosters community ownership and economic sustainability.
Construction Administration
We provide comprehensive construction phase services to ensure design intent is maintained throughout implementation. Our team coordinates with contractors, conducts site visits, and manages technical documentation to guarantee quality control. This includes material selection verification, budget tracking, and problem-solving to maintain project timelines and specifications.
