Over its 45 years, HBG Design has built a focused specialty in the gaming/entertainment and hospitality industry. The firm’s 100 architects, interior designers and building professionals in the Memphis, San Diego and Dallas offices are industry specialists who guide their approach to innovation and best practices in every programmatic casino resort element, from the gaming floor to non-gaming amenities—including the hotel, spa, pool, F&B and event and conference space. This dedicated industry expertise has led to HBG Design’s national recognition as the No. 2 Casino Design Firm by Building Design & Construction and the No. 3 Hospitality and Entertainment Design Firm by Hotel Business, based on annual design revenues.
HBG Design is excited to announce that hospitality and entertainment design veteran Ray Mabry, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, has joined the firm as HBG’s new Dallas office leader and principal. Mabry is a longtime Dallas resident whose 24-year career in architecture has taken him across the country and around the world as a design leader, working for the last 20 years with HKS Architects, Dallas. Mabry serves HBG Design clients as principal-in-charge and project manager, forging new frontiers for HBG, nationally and regionally.
Within the Dallas/North Texas resort market, a new star has emerged on the event entertainment scene—Lucas Oil Live at the Chickasaw Nation’s Winstar World Casino & Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma. This impressively cutting-edge, 6,500-seat venue design by HBG offers a symphony of acoustics, aesthetics and operational excellence, setting a new standard for live entertainment in the region. WinStar’s Session House Gastropub connects Lucas Oil Live with the new 16-story, 304-key Spa Tower and full-service, European-style WinStar Spa. Guests also will enjoy WinStar’s five-acre Cascades pool complex for outdoor sun-soaked entertainment, featuring seven architecturally expressive bar and cabana structures, all designed by HBG Design.
