Cuningham Group Architecture, Inc. (Cuningham Group®) exists to Uplift the Human Experience. Simple and eloquent, the statement embodies our passion for design and its impact on our clients, communities and the world.
Founded in 1968, we provide architecture, interior design and planning services for a diverse mix of client and project types, with significant focus over the last 25 years on gaming and entertainment. During that time, we have designed some of the country’s most successful Native American casino resorts. Our portfolio of completed projects—from small and delicate to complex and expansive—includes casinos, hotels, theaters, convention centers, restaurants, spas, retail venues, master plans and support facilities for gaming and resort destinations.
As leaders in contemporary Native American design, Cuningham Group understands the importance of culturally relevant design and the central issues involved in the development of Tribal casino projects. Native authorship, culturally specific references, and tribal community involvement in design help fulfill tribal self-determination and sovereignty goals by allowing communities to control and shape the future of their communities from a truly Native perspective. We help clients determine an appropriate design expression that achieves these goals while balancing cultural, social and economic priorities.
Cuningham Group is also on the cutting edge of imaging “Casinos of the Future.” Backed by a client-centered, collaborative approach we call Every Building Tells a Story®, which emphasizes one-of-a-kind solutions reflecting the vision of clients and the character of each property and site, we are challenging clients to embrace bricks and mortar changes that support the evolving nature of gaming and its customer base while setting new standards for the future of entertainment.
