With 49 years of integrated architecture and interior design experience, TBE Architects has become one of the most well-known firms working exclusively within the hospitality and gaming market.

Having designed more than 400 unique hotel projects and 300 casino projects, “All Hospitality, All the Time” is much more than the firm’s tagline—it’s the very foundation of TBE’s client base, and an integral part of defining the firm’s team culture. Through frequent communication and a solutions-oriented approach, TBE Architects fosters quality long-term relationships not only with each client, but also with a diverse array of specialty consultants.

As a Native American-owned firm, the keystone to TBE Architect’s success in working with 116 Native American Tribes and First Nations is the firm’s commitment to fully comprehend and meet each client’s unique needs.

TBE Architects’ highly experienced design teams work tirelessly to create bold and iconic designs that are delivered on time and on budget. Much of the firm’s “adaptive theming style” is a direct reflection of the design team’s ability to interpret the unique demands of diverse clients. No two TBE casinos or hotels are exactly alike.

TBE Architects recently completed work for the Chemehuevi Tribe with a bold new mid-century modern designed resort and casino, situated on the western shores of picturesque Lake Havasu. The first phase of this project includes a state-of-the-art casino attached to a four-story hotel with luxury dining, a private pool and multiple patios overlooking the lake. Colors for this project were selected to reflect the varied shades of the lake and desert landscape of the Colorado River Valley. In 2020, the firm looks forward to completing work on the new We-Ko-Pa Casino for the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation in Arizona, and seeing continued progress on each of the 12 projects currently on the boards or under construction throughout the United States.

TBE Architects is an active associate member of the National Indian Gaming Association.
