TBE Architects is proud to be a Native American-owned firm, providing full architectural services, including master planning, engineering and interior design.
Over the past 48 years, TBE Architects’ team of architectural and interior design experts has set high standards within the architectural industry, becoming one of the best-known casino-hotel architectural firms in America. The firm takes pride in maintaining its reputation for delivering even the most complex projects on time and on budget.
By focusing energy and passion into “all hospitality all the time,” the team has developed a depth of experience unparalleled by any other Native American-owned architecture firm. TBE Architects is honored by the opportunity to work directly with 116 tribes and First Nations, designing more than 200 unique casino projects and more than 400 beautiful hotels. Recently completed projects include expansion and renovations to both Harrah’s Ak-Chin in Maricopa, Arizona and the Quinault Beach Resort Casino in Ocean Shores, Washington.
Leading the fine-tuned team of professionals are four principals: Chief Executive Officer Chief Boyd, who recently was recognized as the sixth recipient of the Pauline Murillo award for his lifelong dedication to promoting tribal sovereignty; President and expert in the field of creative hotel and casino design Rich Emery; Vice President Nick Schoenfeldt, nationally recognized for his skills in work-flow process and project management; and Creative Director David Nejelski, who is responsible for taking conceptual ideas and giving them substance.
Since 1971, TBE Architects has been designing destination resorts, hotels and casinos for the hospitality and gaming industries. The firm’s vision for transforming these spaces from “Ordinary to Extraordinary” is founded in developing unique and exciting concepts and then tastefully integrating these ideas into projects in a way that amplifies the overall experience of clients and their guests.
