Our innovation in architecture sets us apart from our contemporaries. Whether through research into new building systems or pushing the limits of existing technology, we are at the forefront of innovation in building design. From the Temple of Laughter's gravity-defying structure to the TREATY School's extensive incorporation of sustainable design and Green Building systems, our work reflects our ongoing quest to innovate.
Creativity is a core element in the foundation of this firm. Working with our clients to produce a strong Program Document early in every project, we then explore a multitude of design opportunities, building system options and construction material choices. The resultant design solutions exude creativity in a very dynamic and sculptural fashion. We find great pleasure in the inspiration we receive from our clients.
Likewise, we seek to inspire not only our clients, but the public at large - through thought-provoking, unique and profound designs which both complement and enhance the built environment.

The task in this international design competition was to design a Temple of Laughter dedicated to the spirit of human achievement.
The temple could be sited anywhere in the world.
The sponsor suggested that the temple should defy gravity, and that its designer should create a new building type through the structure of the temple.
After exhaustive research into philosophical dialogues on laughing and laughter, Architect Randal Jay Ehm set out to select a real site.
Since the greatest source of laughter in the modern world comes by way of movies and television, the most appropriate location became obvious to him -- Hollywood, California.

Rocketman initially planned to develop a modest 12,000 square-foot DareDevel Hall of Fame adjacent to the Knievel jump ramp in Twin Falls, Idaho.
A market analysis led to their decision to build the project in a well-populated urban center of the United States Southwest -- and to expand it to over 50,000 square feet.
The facility features exhibit space, an IMAX theater, three motion simulator rides, a concert hall, a conference center, two restaurants and a full bar.
The 9,000-seat amphitheater is designed into the existing topography, with zip lines and BMX trails running alongside it into the canyon below.

For the late American Indian Activist and AIM co-founder Russell Means' TREATY Enterprises, we designed this 108,000 square foot facility to incorporate sustainable technologies and green building systems.
The building becomes very dynamic at night, with the tensile roof glowing and visible for miles.
The high-bay Library is at right, with the Entrance Portico at left.
This 18,600 square foot facility was designed for a private developer in 2006.
The school serves neighborhood children in grades 6 through 8 who currently attend King Chavez Academy three blocks away.

This 140-room hotel near Disneyland is one of two hotels on which we served as Production Architect for Tarsadia Development.
The four-story hotel features a lounge, meeting rooms, exercise center and a roof deck for special events and nightly viewing of the Disneyland fireworks show.
We designed the renovation for this four-story, 170-room-room hotel for Accor Lodging in 2004.
The scope of work included seismic upgrade, reroofing, exterior finish repair and enhancement and ADA accessibility upgrade, as well as complete renovation of the lobby, offices, common areas and guest rooms.
