Cuningham Group Architecture, Inc. exists to create beautiful places for a balanced world. Cuningham Group’s “Beautiful Places, Balanced World” approach to the business and practice of architecture is one it has nurtured for more than four decades.
Founded in 1968, the multi-disciplinary design firm provides architecture, interior design, urban design and planning services for a diverse mix of client and project types, with significant focus over the last 20-plus years on gaming and entertainment. Bolstered by a staff of 275 and offices in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Biloxi, Denver, San Diego, Phoenix, Seoul and Beijing, Cuningham Group has expanded services and markets to meet a growing demand from some of entertainment’s largest and most respected clients.
The firm’s portfolio—which covers the spectrum from small and delicate spaces to complex and expansive—includes casinos, hotels, theaters, convention centers, restaurants, retail venues, master plans and support facilities for gaming and resort destinations throughout the U.S. and around the world.
Cuningham Group’s top priority is design excellence through a client-centered, collaborative approach. Its “Every Building Tells a Story” philosophy toward gaming design emphasizes one-of-a-kind solutions—creating experiences and a sense of place by telling stories through a modern interpretation of metaphors that reflect the vision of the client and the character of each property and site. The process benefits clients by providing unique environments that differentiate them from competition.
Providing design services to premier properties and leaders in the leisure and entertainment industries had led Cuningham Group to be consistently ranked among top firms, and the company’s design work has been honored with more than 140 industry and market awards. Notably, the firm was ranked among the Top 10 Hotel Design firms in Building Design & Construction magazine’s Giants 300 Report for 2013.
Recent projects include the $205 million Margaritaville Resort Casino in Bossier City, Louisiana, which was the recipient of the 2013 Casino Design Award for “Best Architectural Design Over $100 Million.” Opening in 2014 is the new 21-story, 381-room hotel tower for Potawatomi Bingo Casino in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. And the firm is currently designing the new Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River Casino & Hotel in North Carolina. The project follows on the heels of the highly successful and award-winning $650 million expansion and renovation of Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort.
