Cuningham Group Architecture Inc. is a highly rated architecture and interior design practice with more than 320 employees in eight offices. Founded in 1968, the firm has focused significantly over the past 28 years on gaming and entertainment. Its world-class portfolio covers the spectrum from small, delicate spaces to complex, expansive projects that advance the art of entertainment design—including casinos, hotels, convention centers, restaurants, retail venues and support facilities completed for resort destinations throughout the U.S. and around the world.
The firm is known for its client-centered, collaborative approach, “Every Building Tells a Story,” which emphasizes one-of-a-kind solutions reflecting the vision of clients and the character of each property and site. This approach is especially prevalent in the contemporary designs the firm creates for Native American clients.
Successful tribal gaming projects evolve from a combination of culturally relevant design and a keen awareness of the central issues involved in the development of resort projects. Backed by this understanding, Cuningham Group is pleased to align its own native-led design expertise with Full Circle Indigenous Planning LLC, the only Native American-owned, research-based planning and visioning design firm of its kind in the country.
Cuningham Group and Full Circle have created a long-term working relationship built on the shared goal of advancing the economic and cultural health of tribal communities through design and master planning. They have collaborated on numerous tribal gaming and master plan projects that have helped communities create beautiful and functional facilities that are rich in culture as well as profitable and welcoming to guests. The planning skills of Full Circle dovetail with Cuningham Group’s full-service design offerings, and, as a team, their combined expertise brings a wealth of cultural knowledge, experience and innovation to projects.
Together, the firms represent a comprehensive solution for Native American clients seeking to design and develop profitable facilities that balance their cultural, social and economic priorities.
