Tribal Gaming & Hospitality

As a Native American-Founded (Cherokee) architecture and design firm, we recognize the tremendous opportunity and honor that we have to partner with Tribal Councils and Business Committees throughout North America.

​

Our primary goals are to design spaces that:  

  • Strengthen Tribal Sovereignty through economic independence,

  • Respectfully represent elements of a unique heritage and cultures, and

  • Improve the quality of life for Native people and the surrounding communities.

Commercial Gaming & Hospitality
​

Our design experience extends back to 1971 and includes a mix of entertainment projects, including: riverboat casinos, racinos, and a wide variety of themed destination resorts.

​

Our success as a gaming and hospitality design firm can be  attributed to the following factors:

  • Every architect and designer in our firm specializes in gaming & hospitality design,

  • We understand the locals market,

  • We listen to our clients and deliver designs that meet their needs,

  • Our projects are designed with a high priority placed first on functionality & efficiency, and
